Baby S is headed back home to mommy & daddy today 💕

I absolutely love when a client chooses to leave a cremation piece in its natural state. Don't get me wrong, I love all the color combinations and how beautiful those turn out, but there's something in the visceral rawness of a natural stone. Oh so blessed to be doing this work.

It's a busy week at Samelle Keepsakes!

Today we are working on cremation rings, so Mommy and Daddy can carry baby S with them whenever they go.

Happy 2026!

Wow January is almost over already, can you believe that? I've already got so many orders I'm working away on and I cannot thank you enough for trusting me with your precious memories! Here's to another great year ahead!!

Just a quick note that my jewelry supplier will be taking a month off starting February 5th! I'll still be able to take orders in the month of February but it will extend my turnaround time by an additional 4-5 weeks (unless it's something I already have in stock). If you're wanting something in the next 6 weeks I would order by the end of January!!

🎄 Bulk Order Reminder! 🎄

Bulk orders are closing this weekend to ensure your pieces are completed before Christmas! After that, I’ll do my best to accommodate orders on a first-come, first-served basis once priority pieces are complete.

✨ Gift certificates and "preview" images are available if you’d like to order after this bulk order goes in and still give a special gift.

⏰ Please note: timely communication is essential to secure your spot in the queue. I cannot accommodate lengthy gaps, especially during this busy season, so I appreciate wrapping orders up within 3 business days for those serious about placing an order. Inquiries beyond this timeframe can get lost in the shuffle, and I never want anyone to be left behind.

💳 Important: deposits must be paid within 24 hours of receiving the invoice. Late payments will not be accommodated without prior authorization and will result in moving down the queue.

Many thanks!

⚠️Important Update on Plated Jewelry⚠️

Effective immediately, we will no longer be accepting orders for gold- or other plated jewelry while we review quality issues with our supplier.

Sterling silver options remain available and can be ordered as usual.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we ensure the quality and longevity of every piece we create.

Anyone who has ordered plated jewelry recently will receive a message directly so we can come up with how to proceed.

Thank you for your continued support.

I want to remind all past, present and future clients to followup with an email if you don't hear back on messenger. It is far too often that social media platforms get buggy and don't work as they're supposed to and your messages are ALWAYS important to me 🙂

✨ Learning Curves ✨

A client came to me this past summer with the hair of their beloved horse. It had taken them a year to decide what they wanted to do with it, and once they were ready, it took me just over three months to carefully bring the piece to life.

I’ll admit, I went in a little blind, thinking “I work with hair all the time, how hard could it be?” I love a challenge… and this was definitely a challenge. Horse hair is incredibly delicate and quick to unravel, and when you’re working with something so precious like ashes, hair, memorial flowers etc... one false move can spell trouble. Would you believe I braided and re-braided this tiny strand over a dozen times!!

I worked diligently and calculated each step, yet still ran into roadblocks. Eventually, I sought guidance from a senior artist abroad, and with that support was able to make the adjustments needed to bring this piece together at last.

My work is beautiful, yes, but it is also deeply heartfelt. I will never rush a process just to get something out the door. Sometimes that means moving the goalpost and taking extra time, but it ensures that every piece is created with care, dignity, and respect. I am not too proud to admit when I've run into a problem and need more time and I strive to always communicate with the client in those situations.

At the end of the day, I am just one person, creating each piece by hand with no fancy machinery, no help, just patience and heart. These treasures are one-of-a-kind, and I’m so grateful for clients who trust me with them. I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to keep learning, growing, and honoring loved ones through my craft. ❤️
