Our Story
Hi! I'm Ashley, and this is my fiancé, Dallin!
Dallin and I have been together for over three years, and part of our relationship was long distance. The reason for the distance? I wanted to serve a church mission.
I had always known that I wanted to serve a mission and felt a strong prompting that it was something I needed to do. However, after dating Dallin for six months, I also felt the Spirit when I prayed about having Dallin in my future. I went back and forth trying to decide whether I should stay and marry Dallin, or leave to serve a mission.
I remember Dallin telling me, "You don't have to choose one or the other. You can serve a mission, and we will get married. I'm not going anywhere."
So, I said the hardest goodbye and left on a mission.
For years, Dallin had been practicing the art of silversmithing. During my first Christmas in the mission field, he sent me a package filled with notes, poetry, and a sterling silver CTR ring. I wore that ring every single day of my mission (and got quite the tan line from it, haha!). It became my favorite reminder of two things I loved: my Savior and my wonderful boy.
I still wear that CTR ring every day, along with a newer ring Dallin made me... my wedding ring!
Now, we want to share what was one of my favorite gifts with you.
I'm convinced that a handmade piece of jewelry, paired with meaningful words from someone you love, is one of the best gifts you can give a missionary. Missionaries have to travel and can't take much with them, so having something small, meaningful, and personal to carry is especially special.
This is why every one of our pieces comes with personalized engraving included. We want each piece to carry the words, love, and memories of the person giving it. Whether it's a gift for a missionary, someone you love, or even a piece for yourself, we hope it serves as a reminder of the greatest gift of all: Jesus Christ.
