EU Based Crystal & Jewelry Shop
Our little shop is going through a very difficult time right now, because for over a month over 90% of our sales have disappeared due to the Austrian post halting US shipments which is where almost all our customers are located. We finally got some good news that normal shipments are expected to resume mid-November, but with the damage that's been done, I am not sure if our shop will make it until then. We have taxes and bills to pay just to keep it running before I can even pay myself for groceries. If this is something you like, please consider sharing this post. Our shop has been our sole source of income for almost all of the 12 years we've been running and though my husband has been searching everywhere for a full time job, he hasn't been able to find one yet. (Though something is looking like it's going to work out, I'm scared to get hopeful). I'm really sad that we aren't able to work together anymore, but at the same time I'll just be super grateful when he finally has a job secured somewhere else.
I am really just trying to reach more people. Social media platforms have been absolutely decimating small businesses and this shipping issue feels like it's about to be the final nail in the coffin. I really don't want to have to give up the business I've been working on my entire adult life, and I don't think I can take the fact that Tronald Dump would be the reason we fail.
So anyway, if you like crystals, whimsy, handmade jewelry, fantasy, and cool things like this, consider sharing and checking out the shop. US customers still have the option to purchase items (and either use the more expensive express shipping or use the "open box" option in which we hold your order here until normal shipping resumes) and of course we can ship no problem to every other country.
My handmade jewelry, crystal mystery boxes starting at $50, all kinds of crystals, journals & prints that ship from the US made with my photography, and I also have the option for you to purchase a personal shopping mystery box for me to make for you when I go to a large gem show at the end of the month.
