VALENCIA KEY is not just Lia's middle and last name, the meaning of each word defines the mission and heart of VALENCIA KEY Jewelry.VALENCIA means STRONG / BRAVEKEY means Crucial Importance / To Unlock.VALENCIA KEY is how we show up in this world. Lia created this jewelry to be beautiful, visual reminders to use LIGHT, JOY, LOVE, GRATITUDE and PEACE as our GUIDING STARS. These principles allow us to truly Unlock our Strength and Bravery.Lia's childhood was not easy. It was often very dark - She has been impoverished, hungry, and homeless. At an early age, Lia experienced the loss of the three beautiful hearts that raised me: my mother, grandmother & aunt. Because her surroundings could not give her joy, Lia decided to create her own beautiful world. She made the choice to be her own source of light, shining my way out of the darkness. Then, and now, Lia has relied on the words of her mother:"Your predicament does not determine your destiny!"Unfortunately, while her mother was able to give Lia empowering words that changed her life, she died not ever realizing her own dreams. Even in our darkest days, Lia's mother saw my light. She can still hear her say "LIA VALENCIA KEY, never leave the house without your earrings, they represent the sparkling light so powerful inside you!"Those words never left my heart. They are what I think about when I put on my jewelry everyday and when I sketch new designs. We all have the power to embody light. VALENCIA KEY was created to help us remember that. I want to share my mother's message with you in the form of wearable JOY!Karen Owens: https://www.tiktok.com/@kowensofficia... / owens_karen_ https://linktr.ee/karenowens03?utm_so...
