“These necklaces were the most perfect and beautiful gift to share with my donor-there isn’t much out there in the way of kidney donation jewelry with this much care and class put into it…so thank you for doing what you do. It means a lot to both of us.”Anna Kaschner, 2017
“I am truly impressed by your service. I had never had anyone care so much about their customers. Thank you so much!” Maria Saavedra, In 2016
“Transplant went well. It is, as you know, a journey of a recovery. I wanted to thank you again for the beautiful work you do. Everyone loved the necklaces very much. And I absolutely loved the Hero book. The rose quartz kidneys were held during the surgery. I believe in the energy of these crystals and the collective energy of all of us focused on the same positive outcome. I just wanted you to know the work you do is so very meaningful and so very much appreciated…Thank you!”
Krys Whitmore, NJ 2016
“I recently donated a kidney to my high school principal from 25 years ago. He has become a very important person in my life and it was an easy decision for me. His two daughters gave me this beautiful necklace before I left the hospital. Thank you for making this beautiful jewelry, I absolutely love my keepsake representing the best decision I ever made.”
Amber Lyle, Iowa 2016
“My friend was completely surprised and delighted by the gift. She was particularly moved by the thoughtful enclosures and information on your efforts, as was I.

I so appreciated being able to acknowledge her courage with such a beautiful and poignant gift.”

Ana B Texas 2014
“I’m thinking of having the word “Believe” engraved on the back (of the scrollwork kidney pendant)… Believing in faith, the doctors & trusting that everything would be ok. I know (my mother) will be equally, if not more, touched by your story. You are doing a beautiful service with your creativity. Many people do not understand what an important moment a transplant represents… thank you! “
Jennifer O, Illinois 2014

I’ll be checking your site periodically for new and exciting transplant gifts!

”Myra, I wanted to get back with you to tell you what a blessing the bracelet is! I love it. I was too excited to wait until the surgery to give it to my sister so I had the heart engraved with “2013” on one side and “Gift of Life” on the other as soon as I received it and gave it to her this past weekend while we were together. It has been a HUGE hit with everyone! Thank you, again!”
S.L. Indiana 2013

M.S. South Carolina 2013

D.H. Nevada 2012
“I received the absolutely beautiful mother of pearl necklace today and was so excited when I opened it…WOW…much prettier than the website showed. I couldn’t wait to give this to my friend and she was “over the moon” and loved everything about it. She is also a jewelry designer and I rarely give her jewelry, but this was just amazing and so was her reaction…worth every penny! As educators, we really liked the idea that you donate a portion of your sales to educate others about kidney transplants!“
B.M, Florida 2012

Because of you, we will always have a special keepsake to remind us of how special life is. I truly appreciate your kindness and value what you do for so many people. I look forward to placing a future order with you, Myra. My husband and I thank you with all our hearts!

“The pendant is every bit as beautiful as I imagined. The colours mirror the beautiful area we live in with the greens of the hills and mountains and the blues of the sky, rivers, and sea. I am sure my daughter is going to be delighted and will wear it with pride. I thank you for all the thought you have put into making this such a lovely package, the pretty box, and the interesting cards. My husband loves his “HERO” card and is very proud to have been able to help our daughter in this way. Thank you once again – you are very talented to have created such beautiful jewelry and I wish you every success, both with your business and also with your health so that you may long be able to carry on doing what you are doing.”
T.Barrington. Conwy, North Wales, UK 2011
“I just want to tell you that I went to my pre-op on Monday…and the doctors and nurses there all commented on my beautiful Kidney bracelet. I love that it sparks a conversation and I can always use it to stimulate kidney awareness. I looked inside the box it came in and was amazed at the work you put into the cards and helplines that you sent. What a “gift” you are to me…a stranger whom I’ve never met…reaching out to help. I just want to give you the biggest hug ever. Thank you!”
F.D. Pennsylvania 2011
“Your jewelry has made wonderful gifts to those who have made the gift of life possible for me!”

“My husband recently gave me one of your sterling silver kidney pendants. It is really beautiful and I just love it!!! Thank you for sharing your artistic talents with the transplant community. Being a recipient is a privilege and not one to be taken lightly! It is so important that we help promote organ donor awareness. You are more than welcome to add my comments to your testimonials page. You have a wonderful website!”
S.S. Washington 2011
“This is the most unique gift I have ever seen! My (red kidney) earrings came in a precious box within a little bag…all very elegant. I will wear them to the hospital and keep them on long enough for the nurses and doctors to have a little chuckle. Then I will put them away for fear of some envious person trying to abscond with them while I am sedated.”
D.F. Illinois 2010
“I just wanted to let you know that the kidney pins arrived late yesterday afternoon, and I couldn’t be happier…your presentation was awesome!! THANK YOU!! I know the recipients are going to be thrilled. So happy that I found your website…You are doing a wonderful thing for so many people out there, and I’m thankful and very grateful to have met someone like you!! 🙂 I will highly recommend you!!
S.B Texas 2010
“She loved the necklace and she’s been wearing it ever since we gave it to her. Thank you for helping us to convey to this amazingly brave woman just how much her friends care about her and respect the gift she will be bestowing to another.”
K.C. Pennsylvania 2010
“I just opened the box and burst into tears. All those exquisite little “lungs”! I had the occasion to finally meet my donor’s parents a few months ago. I am hoping my donor’s father, who now works with a transplant services agency, will wear the pin I give him on his lapel and be reminded of all that his daughter was able to do for others, even in her death. I guess those of us lucky enough to have been saved by the generosity of others are destined to shake our heads in wonder every single day.”
G.S. California 2010
“Thank you so very much, Myra. It was truly a wonderful experience getting to do business with you on this gift. I know it will be very special, and as you say, a talisman for her.”

My husband loved his kidney key-chain. Thanks again for your terrific website and the support you gave us during a very overwhelming time in our lives.”
L.F. Nevada 2010

P.M. New York 2010
“ I am so happy I was able to obtain one of your “kidney” necklaces. My donor is a very wonderful, altruistic, loving person who will love the necklace. This will be symbolic of her gift to me. Your offerings are a blessing to those of us in search of ways to thank our donors and others in our lives who support us.”

I think your designs and your website are very vital to celebrating and appreciating our kidney donors. Thanks for your kind words and inspiration! Now the task at hand is to take care of this wonderful gift!”

Thank you for your creative jewelry. Continued good health to you and everyone who is either a donor or recipient. My friend is a Hero. This is truly a wonderful gift.”
S.B. New York 2009
“I wanted to let you know that my coordinator opened her very special gift, the Rose Quartz kidney pendant, and she loved it!! I was so amazed by the prompt delivery. The packaging was beautiful and the pendant was even more stunning in person than it is online!! The meaning of the rose quartz was a very nice touch. I had the hardest time picking out a gift for my coordinator, then I heard of your website from one of our donors. I am so glad that I found something so meaningful and significant. I will definitely pass out your cards and order from you in the future. I am more than happy to do business with you, especially knowing that you donate some of your profits. Thank you again, Myra!”
J.B. Arizona 2008
“Myra, just wanted to let you know that I received the necklace and keychain today. They are beautiful. Glad to see that you had a card in with the items with some of your background. Loved the packaging. I wish you much success and good health. I have learned just how precious our kidneys are to us. Thanks so much for all your help and speedy delivery.”
S.S. New Jersey 2007
“I just wanted you to know that the keychain I purchased was absolutely beautiful! I bought it for my brother for Christmas. We celebrated the one year anniversary of my 3 yr old son’s transplant (my brother was his donor). I have had a hard time trying to express my gratitude for what he has done for my family. I know there is no way I can ever repay him but I wanted him to know how much it meant to me. Thank you so much for creating a special thank you for him. I’m hoping that each time he looks at it that he’s reminded of the wonderful act of love he gave.”
