About Sorella
Sorella is a women-owned and operated small online crystal shop based in St. Louis, Missouri. We specialize in offering an ever-growing collection of semi-precious gemstones, curated for the modern mystic and unearthed with care. At the heart of Sorella, weβve founded our mission on honoring the land that gives, the hands that mine every crystal, and the individuals who seek meaning in what they hold. Everything we offer is thoughtfully chosen to ensure that it reflects our standards of transparency, integrity, and respect for the Earth, and we uphold these values by working only with trusted partners who share our dedication to fair trade, ethical mining, and fully traceable practices. We believe the connection between people and the planet is both powerful and essential, and because it supports us every day, we view it as our responsibility to honor that relationship through mindful sourcing, intentional curation, and honest communication. As an online business, our commitment also extends to how we operate, and we actively work to reduce our carbon footprint and overall environmental impact by choosing to only use packaging made from eco-friendly, sustainable materials that are recyclable, compostable, and naturally biodegradable. Our two-person team prepares every order with care, ensuring that each package delivers an experience where beauty meets responsibility and curiosity meets conscious choice. We care deeply for what we do and are grateful for the opportunity to bring you Earthβs most alluring resource in a way that fosters a meaningful connection with the natural world. Above all, we want to help you feel good about your spending choices so you can make thoughtful, ethical purchases that truly reflect who you are.
Our Story
Weβre Sophia and Arabella, twin sisters and the founders of Sorella. Our journey began with a lifelong fascination for semi-precious gemstones and a shared desire to create something meaningful. From the start our goal was simple: to build what we wish existed. A place that offered beautiful crystals, while reflecting the values most important to us, like integrity, authenticity, and accountability.Β
We didnβt create a crystal shop because no one else was doing it; we created one because we hadnβt yet found one that truly resonated with us.Β
Sorella was built on a foundation of creativity, care, and intention. We used our own experiences and beliefs as the blueprint for a business we could trust. The name Sorella, meaning sister in Italian, represents our bond and the way we came together as one to create the shop of our dreams. It even blends letters from both of our names, making it a genuine reflection of who we are and what weβve built together.
Today, Sorella continues to grow and make its way in the world, serving as a beacon for people who connect with what we stand for. If youβd like to explore our full story, you can read the detailed version on our blog The Sorella Pages.
