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!

Wow, all her jewelry is gorgeous! It’s so hard to pick my favorite piece. I would have to say that my favorite is either the “Breathe, relax, reflect” pendant or the “Power to the Peaceful” pendant because through years and years of more or less some self esteem issues, I’m finally learning the importance of looking inwards and trying to find inner peace and beauty beyond aesthetics.
I absolutely love the cuff! I have small wrists so I love having bracelets that I can adjust.
I’m a new mom and would love the family stamped necklace.
I love this kind of jewelry!! Especially the home is where the heart is one!! I’ll need a Michigan one for when I move away, gotta represent the mitten!
I like the cuff with the initials!
The “home is where the heart is” pendant. I travel a lot, so it means a lot to me!

So torn! I’d probably get a necklace with either one of the phrases or a name necklace….. it would be a game time decision!
This is all soooo pretty! The anchor earrings because the anchor is my sororities symbol
I would get the bracelet for my almost married sister! So beautiful!
Definitely would choose one of the cuffs!
Wow, thanks for sharing her story. The jewelry is beautiful and such a powerful statement and way to heal. I would get the Stronger than Yesterday pendant to remind myself of all that I have been through. I think our challenges shape the people we become.
