I'm so happy you're here!
I started Goldtones Crystals in 2022, just months after my oldest daughter was born. My journey as a small business owner has been exhilarating, inspiring, and fun, but not always easy!
Born and raised in coastal Massachusetts, I have always had an affinity for the ocean and a love for timeless New England style. After undergrad at the University of Miami and brief stints in NYC and Denver, my husband and I found ourselves back in my hometown.
Still, I found myself seeking a deeper level of happiness and—at the intersection of my passions for wellness, nature, and design and the arts—I found my love for crystals.
My business has been a labor of love and a symbol of coming into what is true to me—my energy and my values. But being a full-time mama, full-time (WFH) employee at my corporate job, and full-time business owner was HARD, and I constantly struggled to give my all to each facet of my life. Uncompromising in my morals and refusing to sacrifice two of the most important aspects of my world, the next step forward became clear. In May of 2024, after 12 years in the 9-5 workforce, I decided my corporate career simply did not align with who I am or who I aspire to be. So, with the support of my husband, I cashed in my corporate title to devote my time and energy to all that makes me truly happy: making memories with my family and growing my business.
Whether you've been with me from the start or you're just now joining the journey, I want to thank you for being here. I couldn't do this without you.
Cheers to the road ahead!
Sincerely,
Antonia
