pnemastone was born from a place of grief and love— In 2018, after the sudden loss of my beloved boxer, Spicoli, I was overwhelmed with the pain of his absence and was searching for a way to carry a piece of him with me.

Grief led me to create something truly unique— memorial jewelry made from ashes, designed with intention and crafted with care. I first taught myself glass making and later learned silversmithing, driven by a desire to help others heal.

pneumastone is my way of sharing that healing

pneuma is a Greek word meaning "spirit" or "breath." It often refers to the life force or soul that animates a person or being. In ancient philosophy, particularly in Stoicism, pneuma was considered the vital spirit or energy that connects all living things.

This felt like the most fitting name — as it conveys a sense of life, energy, and the enduring spirit of those remembered through our memorial jewelry.

Each piece is made with intention, created to honor loved ones and preserve memories in a tangible form. Whether it’s a memorial to a pet, a family member, a cherished friend, pneumastone jewelry is a way to carry a part of them with you, always.

This is more than jewelry- it’s a symbol of love, comfort, memory and the pneuma—their light that never fades.
