This year, 2018, has been a tough year for myself and my family. It brought us to our knees multiple times, but through the hardest days, the most important things always remained close to my heart. One way I keep a reminder of what is important and close to my heart near to me is with my necklaces from Mint & Birch.
Jessica is the business owner and creator behind Mint & Birch. I am so thankful to know her. Her blunt honesty is something I couldn’t appreciate more. Through Instagram, she doesn’t hesitate to be raw and open, both about Mint & Birch and what life is like as a wife and a mom to 4. Between the quality of her products and everything mentioned prior, it’s no wonder so many love Mint & Birch.
QUALITY, HAND CUT NECKLACES
Each piece is hand cut, stamped, filed, and polished by Jessica. A whole lot of dedication goes into each one and it shows. The craftsmanship of each piece is incredible. As someone who has 3 different necklaces, I love that each one is different and unique on its own but the quality is the same.
The necklaces from Mint & Birch are stamped by hand. Jessica has a large collection of custom stamps and continues to add to the different fonts and designs available. There is something for everyone. Recently, I had a piece custom made by her. I wanted a necklace that represented what was constantly coming up this past year “God is greater than the hills and valleys”.
All throughout my husband’s journey with cancer, this phrase was constantly a reminder to us. Jessica was able to create exactly what I wanted by getting creative with the direction of a v and a – stamp. The bar necklace turned out beautifully and is one I wear regularly. I love that it has so much meaning to my husband and I and it’s always near my heart as a reminder.
FOREVER MAMA
Last Christmas my husband surprised me with a necklace from Mint & Birch. He had a special bar necklace made just for me. On one side are our daughter’s names and on the other are the words Forever Mama. Instantly the tears started to stream down my face as I realized what was on both sides of the rose gold bar. He had Forever Mama put on the necklace for our two we lost through miscarriage.
This phrase, Forever Mama, takes on a meaning that is different for each mother that wears it. Some have been through loss, others it’s a reminder that no matter what, you are there for your children. The list of what it means goes on and on, which is why this phrase means so much to so many mamas. It’s something so simple that packs so much meaning.
