Small Business Month: crystals, websites, Vietnamese, and legal advice

Based on the edge of the Dorrigo Plateau, Onyx Castle was born in 2019 after a change in work circumstance and relocating, opened the opportunity for Priscilla Gilbert to work for herself, turning a hobby and love for crystal into her own small business.

Onyx Castle is your one stop crystal shop. They handcraft their own crystal jewellery and accessories range as well as stocking a wide range of other jewellery.

“We have crystals, crystal homewares and gifts, and we’re expanding our range to include more esoteric and witchy supplies also.

“If we can’t make it or don’t stock it… we try our best to source it for you.”

Onyx Castle just turned 4 years old, We were a mere 5 months open when the announcement of Covid-19 changed our whole business plan, we suffered so many set backs trying to establish our business, with markets and festivals all closed it left us purely an online business making it very difficult to reach customers. Starting a small business is hard enough without a pandemic announcement… But fast forward with shear stubborn determination we’re taking everything a step at a time to continuing to grow.

We believe in supporting local business and events wherever we can and we appreciate the community support we get in return.

“My main goal is to produce affordable handcrafted genuine crystal jewellery and accessories for everyone, each and every product we sell is handmade or hand selected by us, we love crystals and we take a lot of time to bring you a selection we’d be happy to call our own.”

“We’re also happy to take on custom requests so when you want something a little different we’re happy to work with you to get it. We’re affordable and we’re local so why not shop with us.”
