Our Story

Built through grief, with love.

Life has many moments. We experience gut-wrenching heartbreak, feel dizzying love, suffer profound sadness, awe in great beauty and ride every emotion in between. 

Our lives are a tapestry of love, loss, birth, death, relationships, chapters, celebrations and endings. We cross thresholds where we grow, change and learn. Pivotal moments like loss, or love mark us forever. 

We wear these marks, invisible to others, known to us alone. We carry the lessons learned. We thumb the raised edge of the scar and never forget where it came from. 

The moments that shape us, guide us. Grief becomes a pathway. Loss, a lesson. Love always remains a guiding light. 

The star is the coming together of our life experiences, a moment that shaped us and the teachings we must never forget. The pendant becomes the home to our story, the place where the star is etched into our canvas. The stone sits solidly inside the star within the pendant of time and creates the moment that we have committed ourselves to remembering.

Aster is this alchemy, the engraving of the star on a necklace that is worn touching your skin every day. We transform the invisible into the visible. We manifest your most potent life experiences into an elegant symbol you can carry with you. 

Life has many moments. Aster remembers them.

Founders Story

On October 1st 2024, we walked into a 20 week scan and the sonographer said “we’ve found a lot of problems with your baby”. We’d learn that we would lose our first baby, Teddy and she passed at 23 weeks.

What followed was a long walk with grief and a chapter in our lives that created heartbreak and breakthrough. Grief taught us many lessons and transformed us. Our experience left an indelible mark, one we will remember forever. 

Grief can turn everything black, but in the darkness you become aware of the light. Teddy became our star in the sky. A twinkle of light in the darkness illuminating a path forward. 

Our star represents our first baby, our grief and the gratitude for what we have that we found. 


Everyone has a different story. With different moments of love and loss. Aster creates an opportunity for you to tell you story, to hold it close to you skin and hold on to life’s greatest lessons.

We hope we can help people place their star in the sky and always look to it for strength and guidance along their way,
