The Inspirational Story of Madelyn Keepsake Pendants


Madelyn Company is the originator of jewellery created especially to hold ashes or other precious keepsakes. The story behind these precious pieces of jewellery is one of inspiration and hope.

Over 15 years ago Lisa Saxer Buros (Wisconsin, USA) embarked on a very personal journey following the passing of her Mother, Madelyn. She wanted to feel closer to her beloved Mother so together with her friend, Joni Cullen, she designed a very precious and unique piece of jewellery.

Here is how Lisa and Joni (the founders of "Madelyn Company") describe their journey:

"In March of 1992, our family lost a wonderful, spirited friend and mother. Her views on life were inspirational: 'Love the moment' and 'Death is the greatest adventure of all.'

Still, in the months that followed, we sought another source of comfort and strength. From Madelyn Saxer's zest for living and her ability to embrace death, the concept of the Keepsake Pendant was born. A symbol of continuing love ... a reassuring remembrance to keep close to one's heart.

In creating our pendant line, we had a simple purpose: to enable others to cope more easily, to hold a source of comfort in their hands and to find peace in their hearts.

Our Keepsake Pendants bring memories to an even more personal level by holding a small portion of cremated remains, a lock of hair or dried ceremonial flowers. The pendants may be worn or displayed in a glass dome.

The opportunity to choose a Keepsake Pendant presents itself only once - the comfort a Keepsake Pendant offers, lasts a lifetime."

These two women created an idea which has bought comfort to thousands of people all over the world. Through their vision many families have been able to have something which was never possible before - the ability to have their loved one close to their heart everyday.
