Shayna is the Sole proprietor of The Seventh Oak, specializing in wire weaving techniques and metaphysical crystal meanings, healing and lore. Pairing the healing energies of copper, crystals and Reiki Intention to create energetic companion jewelry that will aid and guide her clients along their life's travels. “I find serenity while working on a new piece, the repetitive weaving of the wires is my favorite kind of meditative practice. That “energetic flow” helps connect me to the healing message that the crystals wish to convey. I’m passionate about my clients; what they have going on in their lives and how the right companion crystal might bring them joy and comfort. It is for that reason that prompted me to start making jewelry in the first place. My favorite is creating custom work, although I do also have pieces that I have made that are looking for their forever homes with you. ”
