about the piece.
In Tina's words, "Immediately after losing my twins, Sophia and Ellie, I wanted so badly to have a piece of jewelry to represent them. Two days after delivering them, I was home alone for a short time. I went into my studio, stamped their names on a disc, and after a couple revisions, I came up with this piece. Wearing it brings me comfort and connects me to my babies who cannot be here with me."
