Preserve Your Story with Mind Over Matter (M.O.M.)

At Mind Over Matter(M.O.M.), I create custom keepsake jewelry and preservation art designed to honor the moments, memories, and people that matter most. Each handcrafted piece is created with care using meaningful inclusions such as breastmilk, cremation ash, hair, fur, whiskers, placenta, flowers, fabric, honey, teeth, and so much more.

Specializing in breastmilk jewelry, memorial jewelry, cremation ash keepsakes, and DNA preservation art, every design is uniquely made to preserve your story in a timeless and wearable or display form. From subtle minimalist rings to heirloom-inspired statement pieces, no two keepsakes are ever exactly alike.

Each piece is individually handcrafted using a one of a kind, detailed preservation process designed to maintain beauty, durability, and sentimental value for years to come. Whether you are celebrating motherhood, honoring a loved one, memorializing a pet, or preserving life’s most meaningful milestones, your keepsake is created with deep respect and intention. Have your custom cherished materials turned into exquisite gems and fine art. Whether your element is large or small, we craft stunning pieces you'll treasure as deeply as the memories they hold.

When we think of heirlooms, we often recall cherished jewelry passed down through generations, like a grandmother's ring or a mother's necklace. Jewelry holds sentimental value for many, so why not start a new tradition with a piece uniquely your own? Our keepsakes serve as lasting statement pieces that encapsulate your unique story. Wear your story proudly with a custom piece from Mind Over Matter.

The Preservation Process: How It Works

🖤 Step Three: Preservation & Creation

This is where the magic happens. Using professional preservation techniques, your unique elements are stabilized and meticulously transformed into an exquisite, custom gemstone or carefully integrated into a fine art layout. Any unused not perishable materials are kept completely safe to be returned to you. Extra milk is kept on file for a year or more. Every piece is individually handcrafted using a specialized preservation process designed for beauty, durability, and longevity. No two keepsakes are ever exactly alike, making each creation truly one of a kind.

📸 Step Four: Final Finishing

Your keepsake undergoes the finishing touches, polishing, and protective sealing before being carefully photographed.

Your finished piece is designed to honor your memories for years to come.

Ensured the Purity of your story. We never use chemical tints, pearlescent powders, or filler to alter your inclusions. While the industry standard often relies on tinted filler powders, I believe your memories shouldn't be hidden behind a layer of synthetic makeup. Your elements are preserved exactly as they are in nature, ensuring a completely authentic, one-of-a-kind heirloom. No two breastmilk should preserve exactly the same.
Additionally, I am the only one handing your elements. They don’t go through a doze people or created by someone you didn’t work with.
The Relic Collection: Hard as Glass Unlike standard keepsake jewelry that relies on soft, scratch-prone craft resins, our signature Relic Collection features a proprietary, ultra-durable finish. It cures completely hard as glass, protecting your sacred memories against yellowing, UV damage, and everyday wear.
Studio Transparency I honor the deep emotional weight of your materials through strict isolation, and I consider you a part of the journey from the moment your package arrives at the studio to the final finishing polish.

Your completed keepsake is beautifully packaged and prepared for its journey home. We will ship it directly to your doorstep with full tracking, or you can arrange for a secure local pickup at our studio. Your story is ready to be worn proudly and passed down through generations.
