Today we’d like to introduce you to Alicia Roberts & Sharon Beard.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
It all started in second grade when two weird chicks from different worlds became best friends. Fast forward 28 years later and we are still two weird, best birds trying to ease the stress and anxiety of everyday life in this crazy nest of a world.
Having anxiety and depression and both on medications for each, we really wanted to find something natural that truly worked with anything but without negative effects (like pills or certain diets) that we didn’t have to remember to take every day.
With all the toxic ingredients in nearly all the products we use every day, we needed to find something truly holistic that really worked. Not just for us but for anyone.
With determination, we set to research and rack our minds day and night.
With every lead, we followed we were continually brought back to the roots of healing. THE EARTH. Stones have been a source of healing, protection, and power since the dawn of time. From ancient Egyptians who used stones for protection and healing to the ancient Greek writer Theophrastus, a student of Aristotle, who wrote the first book about the healing powers of gems in 315 BC.
Now in modern times the uses of these great stones have been mostly forgotten or unacknowledged by society. We want to change that! We have spent countless hours searching for the best natural gemstone sources in the world. All our stones are 100% natural, and each piece is handmade and fully customizable to your needs.
We provide a full list of stones on hand and their individual uses.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
We wouldn’t say it was a smooth road, but we had so much support and positive encouragement from our friends and the Pop-Up community. We’ve had a steady increase in product and sales since we started in November 2020.
Our biggest struggle was figuring out where to keep everything and all the great ideas we wanted to make real.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
We handmake every piece of jewelry in our shop. Some styles come from us and some are custom ideas that our customers want. At most of our shows, we are known for making orders on the spot, mostly our bracelets.
Customers can usually pick up their special pieces before they leave. One great thing that sets us apart is we both specialize in different things which gives us very eclectic and unique jewelry. Sharon is very intuned in stones and people’s energy.
She does stone consultations one on one with clients and aids them with finding the right stones that the individual needs to support them through life at that time. The client can then create custom bracelets or have those stones wire wrapped by Alicia.
What’s next?
Right now we are working on adding more inventory to our website and looking to expand our natural support methods. Sharon is currently training in sound therapy as well as reiki and Alicia are hoping to train in silversmithing in the future.
We are also taking on more shows out of town, like festivals, conventions, and comic cons. Once we confirm an event we will add it to our event calendar on our website so anyone can see where these birds might be landing.
In the future, we are hoping to be able to open our own jewelry and metaphysical shop in the Bartlett/Memphis area.
