My story begins in 1999 when my husband, Frank, died at age 32. He lost a battle with a monster -- a glioblastoma brain tumor, the most aggressive form of brain cancer. This cancer can be caused by exposure to electronic radiation and this was at a time when we had fewer electronics. In just 3 months after diagnosis, he died leaving me alone with our only child, a 1-year-old son. I knew something had to be done when, in September 2014, I read that brain cancer had replaced leukemia as the leading cause of cancer deaths among children. And these numbers keep increasing. Needless to say, I immersed myself in this topic. Because of my personal experiences along with my education and research in technology radiation, I have turned tragedy into triumph by creating Karelia Creations in 2014 to bring about positive change and help others avoid potential tragedy from technology radiation. Our goal is to inspire humanity to live healthier in a digital age by creating beautiful, trendy designs that use shungite to protect our bodies and the environment from electronic stressors and radiation. When you shop at Karelia Creations, you are supporting a woman-owned small business that supports moms and mentors teens in our community. Handmade with love, we hope our customers will love wearing our products as much as we love making them!
