 Thank you for visiting and browsing! I am Jessica- Keepsake Designer, Jewelry Artist, Certified Clinical Master Aromatherapist, and Certified Animal Aromatherapist. I am also a Reiki Master, Pet Parent, Wife, and Mom.

One of our adopted pups came to us with a seizure disorder that vastly limits the products we can use for his healthcare. Learning that his illness was worsened by many prescriptions and store-bought medications (including flea and tick preventative) spurred my desire to learn more about how we could meet those needs naturally. Our family spends a lot of our summer months outside enjoying what nature has to offer, but we wanted to do so in a way that did not rely on harsh chemicals to keep the bugs at bay. My aromatherapy education started as a way to help Henry (our now elderly Min-Pin) but evolved into a way to help my family and others with natural products such as jewelry, pet scarves, natural flea and bug sprays, and candles. Creating aromatherapy jewelry led to an interest in keepsakes. 

The desire to hold onto memories is part of what drives our products. When searching with my late mother-in-law for what she wanted as part of her final arrangements, I realized there are many memorial items out there, but not many are unique or personal. There are necklace vials, keepsake urns, and other mementos to call to mind the memories of our loved ones, but many seem obvious in their design. I started making memorial items after seeing an online site from overseas that created jewelry that looked like any other item you could buy at a local jewelry store-with one exception. It was made to your request to honor your memory.

The unique nature of human memories is what makes keepsake products so individual. We are each drawn to different colors, shapes, textures, and presentations. We all want to remember the happy and sad in a personal way. For this reason, I chose to make items that could memorialize all the emotions of life.
