About

Hi! I’m Sarah,

A former veterinary technician, lifelong animal lover, mom of two wild boys, dog mom to one extra fluffy Pomeranian/Shi-Tzu mix named Fen.

After years of supporting families through some of their hardest goodbyes at the vet office, I wanted to offer something more tangible- a way to hold on to the moments, memories, and the love.

That’s how Valenwood Vixen was born.

I create handcrafted keepsake jewelry using hair, fur, ashes, and other deeply personal materials. Every piece is made by hand, one at a time, with the same compassion I brought to my years in vet med and the same care I’d want for my own family.

Since 2014 I have had the honor of creating over 5,000 keepsakes for grieving families, pet parents, and new moms... all seeking to preserve life's most precious moments. 

This isn’t just jewelry, it’s memory made wearable.
