Hey, I am Katie!
I am a creative. I love seeing new designs come to life.
I am the Owner and Creative Director at The Queen of Quartz which specialises in handcrafted crowns and headpieces made from quartz crystals and other assorted gemstones.
I am passionate about empowering women to feel good about themselves, so that they feel powerful, beautiful and capable to take on any challenge.
I started my love affair with gemstones when I was little. I was especially obsessed with pyrite and peacock ore as they were so sparkly and shiny.
I have always been a creative, so combining my love for gemstones with creative projects occured organically.
The metaphysical has always been part of my life. My maternal grandmother was a palm reader and when I would visit her home I would learn palmistry from her and her books. This then lead to learning tarot exploring the metaphysical properties of gemstones.
How we make your new favourite accessory
Many of our pieces are made with a variety of quartz gemstones because quartz works on all levels- physical, emotional, mental and spiritual- to purify, activate and amplify energy.
They are one of the most powerful crystals for focusing and amplifying your intention.
We also work with many other gemstones, creating go-to accessories that will add magic to your life.
We handpick the gemstones we wish to use from a select group of suppliers who ethically source them.
The gemstones are secured by wire wrapping them in place with a high grade coated wire.
The completed pieces are then cleansed to ensure they are energetically ready for you.
