Some of you out there may already know Jasmine as the blogger who created Eat, Move, Write, but she is also the jewelry designer behind bama + ry.
If you visit the bama + ry shop on Etsy and read the “About” page, you will find Jasmine’s heartbreaking story. After years of infertility, Jasmine suffered a miscarriage and lost her precious twins.
In Jasmine’s words:
“In many ways, this shop was born the moment I miscarried our twins this past February. I’ve always dreamt of two things: creating for a living and becoming a mother. I’ve learned, though, that there are things you can control and things you cannot. So, with this shop, bama + ry, I’m putting my energy into something that I can control. And, for the rest, I will put my wishes out to the universe and just let.it.go.”
Jasmine creates jewelry that is personalized, rustic and made from copper and nickel silver. All of her jewelry is created by hand – the pounding of the metal, positioning of the letters and customization.
She also creates jewelry especially for those who have gone through the pain of a miscarriage, including a this necklace and this necklace.
When Jasmine reached out to me about spreading the word about her handmade jewelry, I was immediately touched by her story and had to share it with all of you. Jasmine made me a beautiful personalized initial cuff that I absolutely adore.
It’s gorgeous on its own or layered with a watch or other bracelets.
If you’re a runner, you might be interested in one of her running-themed necklaces or charms!
