Moth & Memory:
Handmade to hold, what can't be let go.
Together, we can curate a wearable memorial piece to celebrate your loved one. Want to celebrate a wedding or other special memory? We can absolutely do that as well. Ready to take the leap? Message me today to get started in your journey.
Turnaround time for Memorial Pieces: 2-5 weeks upon receiving your materials using the pre-paid mailer. Kits will ship same day, or next day depending on order being placed.
I truly do feel like this is my purpose right now, to allow the space and accessibility for others to heal grief in this special way. The care I put into each piece is beyond words I can express here. I hope you know how much it means to me that you trust me with something so monumental.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do you use in your memorial jewelry pieces?
Anything, as long as it can be dried out. Flowers, fur, ashes, dirt, fabrics are all ways to capture the memories of loved ones. I can also add mica powders, glitters, and even gold leaf to achieve whatever style you desire.
How much of the keepsake material do you need?
Depending on the size of the piece you want, typically I only need around half a teaspoon per material. I've incorporated up to 4 materials in a single pendant before. Send as much as you like! Any unused material can either be sent back, store in my studio, or if you so choose, ethically dispose of.
Collapsible row
Will all the keepsake material I send be used?
Not necessarily. Clients have given me dirt, and requested I dispose of the remnants afterwards. I can also mail back any extra at no charge to you. In the case you do not want any excess material, I personally bury it, and say a prayer over it.
What happens to unused keepsake material?
Anything unused that clients do not wish to have back, will be given a proper burial with a prayer.
Can I be involved in the design process?
Absolutely, clients are given sketches and WIP (Work in Progress) photos along the way.
Can you match the jewelry to a specific birthstone or color?
Yes! We can incorporate actual gemstones or crystals associated with their birthstone. Or, we can incorporate other colors using mica powders or glitter.
Can I add multiple keepsakes (e.g., ashes and hair) to a single piece?
Yes!
Collapsible row
Is the jewelry waterproof or durable for everyday wear?
I recommend never wearing any type of jewelry in the water, especially the ocean or a chemically treated pool. But wearing my jewelry in the shower or while cleaning/doing dishes does not damage it.
I shower with my jewelry on, and it never damages it, but I also should be more diligent in taking off my jewelry beforehand (Do as I say, not as I do).
Collapsible row
What should I do if my jewelry gets damaged?
Please message me, so I can fix it.
Can I make changes to my order after it has been placed?
After the order is placed, typically it takes time to finalize the jewelry order. Once the design is approved by the client, it cannot be altered.
Do you ship internationally?
At this time, for custom orders, no.
Is there a way to order memorial jewelry in advance for pre-planning purposes?
Absolutely, you can order the kit first, as it is one flat rate. There is no time frame to send out the keepsakes, as the cost of the kit is deducted from the final cost of the piece.
How do I go about ordering and payment?
You will be purchasing the kit either in full payment, or the kit only. There is no time frame to get it back to me, but please remember if you need it back by a certain date, to keep in mind the turnaround time of 3-5 weeks. Once I ship out the kit, you can ship it back to me, and then we begin the stages of design. The project will need to be paid for in full before production.
How much does a piece cost?
Pricing is included in the kits for purchase! I strive to make my memorial pieces accessible for all, s if you have any questions regarding pricing or customization options, please feel free to reach out to me.
How will my finished piece be shipped, and is it insured?
I will be shipping with UPS, tracking sent to you, and each item is insured.
