Kagome's Krystals was founded in August 2019 on Etsy. I'm Andrea Salazar, the owner of Kagome's Krystals. I'm 28 years old, Mexican American, and I run my small business full-time. I had always wanted something I could call my own, so I decided to start this journey with very little money and even less knowledge. I took a leap of faith, driven by a strong desire to succeed, and began by selling homemade jewelry, keychains, and small stones. Kagome's Krystals is an owner-operated business, and every order is handled with care by me or my family, who genuinely appreciate these Earth treasures.

Kagome's Krystals is an Illinois-based online crystal shop. I started researching and developing my brand while working a full-time job. One thing led to another, and just over a year after starting my business—and after being laid off—I found myself doing it full-time. This was all so new to me, but with hard work and dedication, it paid off, and I started to see my business grow. Although being a young entrepreneur has its challenges, owning a crystal shop came naturally to me. I kicked off my career on Etsy, making handmade bracelets and wire-wrapped pendants. Today, I offer a variety of genuine crystals and a lot of jewelry.

I source consciously selected crystals and stones for my shop, offering high-vibrational, high-quality products in limited quantities. I am proud to have shipped over 10,000 orders, reached seven countries, and introduced over 100 different minerals to our shop. I stand by my commitment to offering only genuine, high-quality stones.

Sourcing:

I have developed great relationships with reputable sources and vendors worldwide, including in the USA, Mexico, Brazil, China, Madagascar, and Africa. I focus on quality over quantity for my inventory and travel to gem shows throughout the year to handpick or intuitively choose stones. I also work with other small, family-owned businesses from around the world, such as those in Mexico, Brazil, China, Africa, and Uruguay, to source only authentic, genuine, and untreated stones.
