About the Creator and Curator
Valerie is a certified crystal healer and reiki master. She searches for antique/vintage keys from around the world to create healing crystal keys for you and your sacred space.
These antique crystal key creations can be used in energy healing, spiritual work, adorn your sacred space or yourself.
Each crystal is shaped by hand filing, hand sanding and sometimes the key is also hand fabricated to accommodate the crystals. Valerie also works with raw crystals and mineral slabs often and hand shapes them as well.
Each piece is touched by reiki before, during and after creation and before it’s journey to you.
Valerie’s fascination with keys started at a young age in the house she grew up in that was built in 1714 were there was a large heavy cast iron key that was used to open and close one of the doors in her house. One of Valerie's earliest memories is moving a chair to climb up and play with the cast iron key, she would get in trouble when caught doing so. Yes, Valerie got in trouble a lot.
As her mother was an antique dealer, there often were antique keys around too. Valerie always worked with keys in some manner at an early age, adornment, healing or ritualistic practice. It was not until 2019 that her love of crystals and keys gave her a message to start creating antique crystal keys publicly, these creations have evolved since the tender beginnings in 2019 for others.
Valerie also creates crystal jewelry, altar and healing tools using seed beads and she's been revisiting working with solder which she used to create with when she was a teenager.
Valerie collects vintage/antique items and did some consulting work for vintage theme photography, weddings, parties and personal shopping. Some of Valerie's vintage/antique items have been purchased for television, movie, broadway shows and music videos.
Every so often there may be some interesting antiques and curios available so keep an eye out.
Thank you for visiting.
