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!

I love the cuff! It’s so different
This is such a heartwarming story and cause. My husband and I lost our first baby at 20 weeks. I went into preterm labor and they couldn’t stop my little angel from coming. It was the most devastating experience of my life. There is always hope though and I know the universe has a way of working out. I am sending healing energy her way and I hope she finds solace in the loving community around her. Thank you for sharing.
My heart goes out to all of the men and women who have experienced the loss of a child. There are no words to describe the pain you go through. All of the excitement turns to heartbreak and you have to learn how to deal with the trauma on a day to day basis. I am so glad she is channeling her energy into art. I love the anchor necklaces. Beautiful!
I’d chose “be the good” in copper
I would chose the 13.1 charm, Im running my first one in September
I would definitely choose the bracelet with initials. I ‘ll definitely pass this post onto a few friends who have been struggling with infertility.
Ahhhh I teared reading her story….
I’m gonna order something if I don’t win this giveaway…
the 13.1 would be awesome. Never in my life I thought I’d be running but now going into my 2nd half in 2 weeks!
I’m stoked and feel blessed to be physically fit to do this!
“Be the Good” reminds me daily of my personal struggles and my wish to overcome them …and of my volunteer work at a local community resource centre where everday is a struggle for our clients.
I love the “Stronger than Yesterday” necklace! so inspiring!
I would choose one of the initial pieces with my daughters initials on them.
A friend of mine recently lost her baby at 39 weeks. What a beautiful gift this would make.

Ohhh, my heart goes out to Jasmine and her husband. I can’t even imagine having to overcome a loss like theirs.
I love the cuff she sent you, but I think I would choose the ‘nautical anchor necklace’…I love all things nautical and my husband and I have a huge love for anything pirate related 🙂 So generous of Jasmine to offer this giveaway!

I would get a little 13.1 charm. I’ve done a few of them and it’s definitely my favorite race distance.
