Where did it all begin?
Look back, way back to 1999 - and that's when Wicked Stone's journey began. But that's not exactly where it all started......
Hi, I'm Vikki. I was about nine when my grandfather gave me my very first crystal. Perhaps it was simply meant to keep me happily distracted while he shopped, but to me, it felt like magic. That little stone, a slice of Mexican Crazy Lace Agate, was the spark that lit a lifelong love for crystals, energy, and quiet wonder. I still have it today, a gentle reminder that sometimes the smallest gifts open the biggest doors.
And yes, I did want to roll that rock you see in the photo into my yard. :) No, it remains where it lives for more people to fall in love with it.
Wicked Stones began quietly in the late 1990s, with just a single coil of copper wire, a few of my favourite crystals, and a spark of inspiration. At first, it was simply a creative outlet, wrapping stones I loved and collecting more than I could possibly keep. Eventually, my “horde” outgrew its little corner of the house, and I began selling at local craft shows across Northern Ontario. Blending my love of rock hunting with the joy of travel, I spent years sharing my creations and discovering beautiful stones throughout Canada.
A lot of you will remember the floppy red hat covered in sparkling amethyst that I wore to every event we attended. And yes, you'd often see me trading jewelry for Java. I admit, I love a great cup of coffee! (THANK YOU to everyone who did save me with coffee!)
In the early 2000s, our crystal adventure began to grow, branching out into healing shops and local stores across several continents. Soon after came workshops and classes, and what a beautiful journey it’s been! Traveling, teaching, and meeting kindred spirits from all walks of life has truly been a gift. Our crystal designs have always been about letting the stone shine. Each piece is crafted to honour the natural beauty of the gem itself—never overworked, always made with intention, care, and joyful energy. When you hold one of our pieces, I hope you can feel the peaceful, positive energy woven into it. My greatest wish is that it brings you the same sense of calm and wonder it brings me to create it.
Everything we create is made with care, joy, and a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of crystals. We’re proud to support other Canadian businesses and family-run ventures like ours—many of our gemstones come from trusted sources who are ready to pass along their treasures. Some pieces have even been hand-collected with intention and heart. Every crystal has a story, and we’re honoured to help it find its way to you.
Being a graduate student from Art College, I have always loved colours and painting! I discovered the beautiful artwork of Mandala painting and instantly was enraptured! I started dotting and painting everything I could get my hands on. After a while of learning a lot of new skills, I decided it was time to start selling my pieces. You can find them by clicking here. Mandala artwork is very relaxing and I tried to infuse that healing, calm energy into each and every pendant and piece of work on my site.
And yes, you might spot the occasional spelling mistake or little thing out of place on our website. That’s because we do it all ourselves, every photo, every word, every package, by hand and with heart. Behind the screen, it’s just real humans doing what we love.
What started as a small, quiet passion has become a deeply meaningful part of my life, and I’m so glad to share it with you.
