Our story

About KinMarked – Personalized Jewelry Handmade in the USA

For the givers, the rememberers, the ones who feel life deeply. This is your moment—KinMarked.

Jewelry to mark the moments that matter.

KinMarked began with a mother, a hammer, and a deep love for capturing life’s milestones in silver and gold.

For over a decade, Lisa created meaningful, hand-stamped jewelry as Tickle Bug Jewelry. Pieces that celebrated motherhood, memory, and the people we hold closest. Her three sons grew up beside her bench, the rhythm of the hammer echoing through her home. Each letter, each charm, was made with care and intention. KinMarked continues that tradition with a name that holds even deeper meaning.

Kin for the people who make us who we are.

Marked for the way we honor them. With metal, with memory, with love.

These pieces aren’t just beautiful, they’re keepsakes. Carried through graduations, weddings, births, and goodbyes. Worn as quiet reminders of what matters most.

Every piece is made by hand, meant to last, and created for the givers, the rememberers, and the ones who feel life deeply.

This is your jewelry. Your people. Your moment—KinMarked.

Meet the Founder

Hi, I'm Lisa — founder of KinMarked and mom to three boys who remind me daily how fast it all goes.

KinMarked started with a simple belief: the moments that shape us deserve to be carried with us.

*It also started on a folding table in a playroom in my garage about 12 years ago.*

When my boys were small, I found myself wanting to hold onto everything. Their names, the dates that mattered, the little things I never wanted to forget.

I learned how to hand-stamp pieces for myself... then for friends, then for strangers who felt the same way. Back then, I was going by Tickle Bug Jewelry, working out of whatever corner of the small playroom I could claim. No studio, no team. Just a hammer, a set of letter punches, and a feeling that this mattered. Turns out, a lot of people felt that way too. What started as a passion project on a folding table with hot wheels underfoot grew into something I never could have planned, and KinMarked is where that journey has brought us.

Today, every piece is handstamped in our Midwest studio by a small team of women using those same traditional tools. Names, dates, milestones, memories. Crafted in 14k gold-filled and sterling silver, built to last as long as the love behind them.

Because KinMarked isn't just jewelry. It's meaning made wearable.

I'm so glad you're here.

Warmly,

Lisa Tremblay

What We're Made Of

Made by Hand

Every piece starts as a blank piece of metal and becomes something that makes someone cry in the best way. Hand-stamped in our Ohio studio, letter by letter — because the moments you're marking deserve more than a machine.



Gifting Made Easy

We handle everything- signature gift packaging, a handwritten note in your words, and free shipping over $125. You just have to show up and watch her face.

Built to Be Kept

We only use USA-regulated 14k gold fill and 925 sterling silver — because the story behind every piece deserves a metal worthy of it. With a little care, your jewelry will stay beautiful for years to come. Not a trend. Not a season. A lifetime.

Designed and manufactured in Ohio

We put care into every step of the process, creating timeless designs you’ll cherish forever.
