Hot tea on a dreary day... maybe I'll make a vulnerable post about where I am on the grieving journey...

Yesterday was rough. It seemed every thing I did was a reminder our Serenity Jane isn't here.

The extra cheese went in the trash, the doorbell rang alone, the bed stayed made....

She was so passionate. She loved her family. She loved our clients.

I'll never forget the times she would hug clients, while they cried in her embrace.

She had a scare a few days before she passed. She rallied, got up and acted almost like nothing happened.

The next day in my prayer time, I heard "best day ever."

My interpretation was to give Serenity the best day ever, every day we have left with her.

When she was passing away, she waited until Addy told her "it'll be the best day ever! You're going to see Maizy and Jesus and play!" ...with those words, she took her last breath.

I share this about "best day ever," because, to me, it's confirmation that God had His hand on us the whole time.

Now I understand. I'm still completely heartbroken.

I felt the need to share this vulnerability with all of you, who have graciously shared the hardest moments of your lives with me.

Each and every client that has told me their intricate stories, I remember...both the joyous and the tragic.

So many of you have reached out and offered condolences. I am truly thankful. If that isn't an indication of a business well built and tended, I don't know what is.

And maybe, RLT Jewelry isn't a jewelry business, maybe it's a community built on genuine compassion. 🕊

💍 Don’t replace it just yet. It may be repairable.

A broken chain. A loose stone. A worn prong. A favorite ring that’s seen better days.

Before you put that sentimental piece away—or decide it’s time to replace it—let me take a look.

At RLT Jewelry, I personally work on your jewelry with care, whether it needs a simple repair, restoration, resizing, or a little more attention.

Because sometimes the value of a piece isn’t what it’s worth on paper.

It’s who gave it to you, what it represents, and the memories attached to it.

Private consultations are available by appointment.

✨ Bring me the piece you thought was beyond saving. Let’s see what we can do.

POV: You still wear the jewelry you made for the dogs you had to say goodbye to. 🕊️

These are my memorial rings for my two dogs. I wear them every day.

And today, while I was sitting here petting Cloud, I caught myself looking down at them.

They’re just rings… but they carry so much love, so many memories, and two dogs who will always be a part of me.

Grief changes.
Love doesn’t. 🕊️

Who do you carry with you?

Rest easy, Serenity Jane. 💔

At first glance, it doesn’t read as a memorial ring. But this London Blue Topaz quietly holds something deeply meaningful.
Set in a yellow gold bezel with a sterling silver band, it’s designed for everyday wear. Paired with a yellow gold diamond band, the look feels complete—elevated, effortless, and full of intention.

Some of us still remember how old they would be.
Wonder what they would look like.
Who they would have become.

And even years later, we still miss them while the world assumes we’ve moved on.

But love doesn’t have an expiration date.

This October, we remember the babies who were deeply loved and the families who still carry that love. 🤍

Well, our daughter had her vendor event today and this was the only photo I took 🫪

She did amazing! She sold her beaded pens, keychains, badge leashes, and cat masks.

She greeted customers, explained her products with clarity and confidence, handled transations, and had a lot of fun playing and meeting the other vendors.

Thank you again The Brinkerhoff Mansion for having us! What a great way to kick off the fall season!

There’s something incredibly special about being able to give new life to something that has already been part of your family’s story.

For this wedding band, we started with three pieces of heirloom gold:

His grandfather’s wedding band.
His grandmother's ring
And a pendant that belonged to his mom.

But this story gets even better.

His mom didn’t just hand me the gold and wait for the finished ring.

She helped make it!

She worked alongside me, filing, finishing, and polishing the ring that her son would eventually wear on his wedding day.

There’s something beautiful about that.

She was able to take a piece of her own history, a piece of his grandparents' history, and physically help shape it into something her son will carry with him into his marriage.

This is one of my favorite parts of what I get to do.

I’m not just making jewelry.

Sometimes, I get to create an experience that a family will remember just as much as they remember the jewelry itself.

This ring will be worn for years to come.

But I hope Mom always remembers making it with me. 💍

That’s the kind of story I want every piece of jewelry I make to hold.

Jewelry inspired by your life.
