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!

Hi Julie!
Another awesome giveaway. I am a mother to two angel babies and two living miracles. After suffering a miscarriage at 5 weeks and losing my second pregnancy, a son, at 19 weeks, I finally gave birth to my two daughters, Clara (age 3) and Elyse (age 15 months). If I were to win the bama + ry giveaway, I would get a necklace to commemorate the difficult road my husband and I traveled on our way to becoming parents. I am grateful to have two precious daugthers to love, but think of those babies that I lost every day.
I have just decided to take a turn in my life and move towards a healthier and happier lifestyle. I just signed up for the first half marathon. I am so excited to started working towards my goal and along the journey become a healthier person. If I won the giveaway I would LOVE to get the “Running Is My Happy Place” necklace from bama + ry because I think over my journey of training that I will soon find running to be an outlet from everyday craziness! On that necklace it also includes a charm that has mileage on it, so I would hope to get 13.1 :)!

Her story is so touching! I would send a necklace to my sister- she is going through some tough times and I think this would be very meaningful for her!!
