Valenwood Vixen

Every keepsake is handmade in my Southwest Florida home studio, one piece at a time, with care and intention. As a mom and former vet tech, I know how deep love runs- whether it's a child, pet, or someone else to hold close to your heart.

This is not just jewelry. It's a memory made wearable. I cherish the chance to help you preserve those memories- from the first baby curls, and tufts of the softest fur, to bedside hand holding or the last brush of a paw.

With over ten years of experience and thousands of keepsakes created, I honor your moments with the care they deserve. I know you are trusting me with something irreplaceable, a responsibility I don't take lightly.

Thank you for your trust.

While the most obvious material is hair or fur, I can use a wide variety of personal materials in your keepsake jewelry.

Human hair may be used in memorial jewelry, as well as pet fur. I can include baby or puppy/kitten teeth. Pressed or otherwise fully dried flowers from personal arrangements are always welcome and are a beautiful personal touch.

I can also work with more exotic pets, from feathers to hedgehog quills, chinchilla fluff to snake and gecko sheds.

Cremains may be used, please confirm proper shipping methods and declaration through the USPS (the only carrier currently legally allowed to transport human and animal cremains).

Ordering your custom keepsake jewelry is easy!

Once you have decided on a design and completed checkout, I will confirm your order and send your Shipping Kit. Your free shipping kit includes a preaddressed, postage paid envelope, and small sealing bag to protect your precious sample while in transit. Simply collect the hair lock or fur, place in the bag and envelope, then drop it in the mailbox!

I always send emails when I receive your kit and keep in touch as your jewelry progresses. Memorial jewelry typically takes 2-6 weeks. Your completed keepsake jewelry (and any unused hair or fur) will mail with tracking.
