Hello! I’m Kati, a proud mama to two wonderful kids—a boy and a girl—and a dog mom to our two beautiful black labs, Aria and Layla. My husband and I have been together for years and he’s my biggest cheerleader, always supporting me in pursuing my dreams, including this venture.

Creativity has always been a big part of who I am, and my passion for memorial jewelry deepened when I became a mother. Like many mamas, I found motherhood to be a journey of both challenges and profound joy. For me, breastfeeding was particularly tough yet incredibly rewarding. I wanted to find a way to celebrate that experience and the bond it created with my son.

That’s how Ounces to Ashes came to be. What started as a tribute to breastfeeding journeys has grown into something much more. Whether you’re commemorating a breastfeeding experience, a pregnancy loss, a cherished pet, or another significant moment, I believe everyone deserves a beautiful piece of jewelry to treasure and reflect upon. I’d be delighted to help create a unique, heirloom piece that captures those precious memories for you.
