For the dreamers, the doers, and everyone discovering just how far they can go. Ad Astra, Latin for “to the stars,” celebrates possibility, ambition, and the exciting chapters still ahead.
The Meaning Behind the Words
Ad Astra — To the stars
“A reminder that you are capable of going farther than you ever imagined.”
Details That Actually Matter
- 13 mm (1/2-inch) hand-stamped disc, a subtle symbol of encouragement.
- Available in 925 sterling silver or 14k gold-filled, for the finish that suits their style.
- Adjustable 16–18 inch chain, for easy everyday layering.
- Stamped by hand, rather than machine engraved, for an individual touch. Because every piece is stamped by hand, slight variations in spacing and depth are part of its charm.
- Meaning card and signature KinMarked packaging, so the encouraging message is part of the presentation.
An especially thoughtful graduation gift, new-job gift, encouragement gift, or celebration of a big dream.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
Production time is how long it takes to make your order BEFORE it ships. Every piece is made by hand in our Ohio studio, and our current production time is 5-7 business days (Monday through Friday).
Shipping time is how long your order is in transit AFTER it ships.
Production time + shipping time = when your order will be delivered to you.
Standard - USPS Ground Advantage. 5-7 business days in transit. $5 flat rate, and FREE on orders over $125.
Upgrade - UPS 2-Day Air. $15. About 2 business days in transit. This speeds up delivery, not production, so your order still needs 5-7 business days to be made.
Production time runs longer during the holidays and other busy gift seasons. The current production time is always posted in the banner at the top of every page, so that number is the one to trust.
We currently ship within the United States only. Once your order ships, you will receive a tracking number by email.
Yes! If you’re not completely happy with your purchase, you have 10 days from the delivery date to request a return or exchange. Items must be unworn and in their original packaging.
Unfortunately, custom or personalized pieces are non-returnable. If you need to start a return, simply contact our support team, and we’ll guide you through the process. Please note that return shipping costs may apply.
Absolutely! Our jewelry is designed with sensitive skin in mind, using hypoallergenic, nickel-free, and lead-free materials. Whether you’re wearing our sterling silver or gold-filled pieces, you can enjoy them comfortably without irritation. If you have any specific allergies or concerns, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help!
To maintain the shine and longevity of your jewelry, we recommend:
- Avoiding water, lotions, and perfumes when wearing your pieces.
- Storing in a dry, cool place when not in use.
- Cleaning gently with a soft cloth to remove dirt and oils.
At KinMarked, sustainability is woven into every step of what we do. Jewelry is more than an accessory, it’s a way to honor your story and mark the moments that matter. We believe those memories should last a lifetime without costing the earth.
Recycled Metals
Each piece is handcrafted with recycled sterling silver and 14k gold-filled metals when able. By choosing recycled materials, we reduce the need for newly mined resources and give beautiful metals a new life.
Handcrafted, Not Mass-Produced
Your jewelry is handstamped and hand-finished in small batches. This slower, intentional process means less waste and more care in every detail.
Eco-Friendly Packaging
Every element of our packaging is designed to feel elegant while being kinder to the planet.
Jewelry Made to Last
Fast fashion comes and goes — but your KinMarked jewelry is made with quality metals and timeless designs meant to be cherished for years. We create pieces you’ll reach for again and again, jewelry that celebrates life’s milestones without adding to the throwaway cycle.
Artisan Aesthetic: Handstamped
Every Piece, a Story: When you choose hand-stamped jewelry, you're choosing a piece with a story. From the careful marking of each letter to the love that inspires its creation, it’s a journey you can feel with every wear.
