Our Story

Fourteen years at home,
and a new calling.

Being home with my kids for 14 years was one of the greatest seasons of my life. Now that they're older and starting to move out, I felt called to step back into work. I prayed for direction, and that's when I discovered permanent jewelry.

I started Lasting Bonds because I'm passionate about the stories behind the jewelry. Whether it's matching bracelets or a meaningful birthstone charm, every piece is a reminder of the people and moments that matter most.

I'm here to create a personal and joyful experience through timeless jewelry you can wear every day.

Kind Words

Loved by the people
who wear it.

A few notes from recent sessions. Every piece carries a story, and these are some of our favorites.

Can't say enough good things about our experience with Lasting Bonds. We got a last minute appointment for 4 ladies and all chose beautiful pieces that mean so much. We've already made plans to come back and add on jewelry. This is such a fun thing to do! I will recommend them over and over!

I reached out to the owner the day after my stillbirth, wanting permanent bracelets in memory of my babies. Even though she normally only takes clients at her business, she welcomed me into her home so I didn't have to wait, which meant so much in such a difficult moment. She was incredibly patient, kind, and thoughtful, making sure I was happy with every step. The bracelets turned out perfect and hold so much meaning for me. I am beyond grateful for her compassion and her beautiful work.

I think I found my new obsession! I got a hand chain by Carol and I am in love with it. She took the time to show me different options and styles to make sure I found the right fit. They have a great selection of chains as well as connecting charms. Definitely recommend, and I'll totally be coming back for more pieces!
