Memorial Jewelry:
Honor and cherish your loved one with our beautiful, custom made, remembrance jewelry.
The single Forget-Me-Not pendant is our most popular item for giving to mom's who have miscarried.
For a small fee, the baby's name can be on the pendant back.  
We also offer very special packaging options!

All jewelry is handcrafted from flowers grown and pressed by Ruth Wales at her Casco, Maine home .
She also gathers non-endangered wildflowers for many of her pieces, especially the Queen Anne's Lace.
The flowers have to be so tiny that she picks individual flowers from a branch with tweezers and presses them
one by one to have them press perfectly. The flowers are sealed in a clear jeweler's resin within a
sterling silver bezel cup. The ear wires are also Sterling Silver. The actual posts of the studs are a
hypoallergenic surgical steel.

Poem#1


My dainty little flower,
Some seedlings are too beautiful for earth
You will forever be my baby blue;
Heaven's Bloom,
And I your Mother Vase
Forget me not dear one;
And I not you-
Together, someday, we will have our season
.....Nadine Lanham 2005.

Poem#2

Oh Heavens, sky Blue
I miss you, miss you true
I wish for our spring,
where together we laughed and loved
Bouquet dreams
Wait for me in the Eternal Garden
I will wrap myself in turquoise blankets, yellow stars
I will remember, through petal tears
And I will smile for the seasons we had-
Where forget me not memories will forever bloom.
.......Nadine Lanham 2005
 

Poem#3

You left so soon
A presence so bright
That you had to go
Just doesn't feel right
You'll never be forgotten
I'll keep you in my heart
Someday we'll meet again
And never have to part
Until that day comes
I'll think of you every day
Wearing this Forget-Me-Not
Helps me know you are okay!
