The True Warrior Story
Hi, I’m Melissa—metalsmith, mama, and founder of True Warrior Jewelry.
My journey started in the darkest moments of my life. After being diagnosed with Stage IV Endometriosis, enduring multiple surgeries, and facing the heartbreak of infertility, I turned to something unexpected: crystals. What began as a small bracelet, Moonstone and Rose Quartz for fertility, became a quiet source of hope. To my surprise, my next IVF cycle worked. And soon after, I welcomed my son, born at just 30 weeks and fighting for his life in the NICU. I called him my “True Warrior.”
Jewelry became my way of coping through each chapter. Another IVF, another traumatic birth, another surgery. And through all of it, creating jewelry with intention helped me heal. That’s how True Warrior Jewelry was born.
Today, I handcraft each piece with the same energy that carried me through: strength, healing, and resilience. My jewelry is more than an accessory.. it’s a reminder that you're not alone. That you're stronger than you think. That healing is possible.
Whether you’re navigating your own hard season or simply love meaningful jewelry with purpose, I hope you find a piece that speaks to your spirit—and reminds you of the warrior within.
With love,
Melissa
