After eleven years of handcrafting personalized jewelry that marks life’s most treasured moments, Tickle Bug Jewelry founder Lisa Tremblay unveils a defining evolution with the introduction of KinMarked LLC. The rebrand reflects the natural growth of a woman-owned small business that began as a creative outlet during new motherhood and has matured into a recognized source for handcrafted jewelry that commemorates the full spectrum of meaningful human experiences.
The transformation to KinMarked emerged from a decade of listening to customers. While Tickle Bug Jewelry became known for its beautiful motherhood pieces, the stories that arrived in Lisa’s inbox told a bigger truth: people wanted to honor far more than one chapter of life. Customers commissioned pieces for graduations, weddings, milestone birthdays, friendships, memorials, adoption days, retirements, and reunions. Each request revealed a broader purpose—creating jewelry that captures the moments and relationships that shape us.
Lisa’s entrepreneurial journey began during a deeply personal season of growth following the birth of her third son. Jewelry making became a creative space that belonged entirely to her—something she could nurture while caring for three young boys. What she didn’t expect was how her art would become intertwined with the stories of others. Her craftsmanship became the physical expression of people’s most meaningful memories.
While Lisa leads the artistry behind KinMarked, she emphasizes that the business would not exist without the support of her husband, Erich. His encouragement, partnership, and belief in her creativity have been foundational to the brand’s success. From helping during busy seasons to offering steady emotional support through every stage of growth, Erich has been an essential part of the KinMarked story.
The name KinMarked encapsulates the brand’s heart. “Kin” embraces everyone who holds a sacred place in our lives—children, partners, parents, chosen family, lifelong friends, and loved ones who live on in memory. “Marked” symbolizes the lasting impact of those relationships and the moments that define them. Together, the name represents the imprint of connection.
Every KinMarked piece remains intentionally handcrafted in sterling silver and 14k gold-filled materials. Lisa’s hand-stamping technique gives each piece a uniquely human character—subtle variations that prove a real artist touched every letter and detail. Customers who value genuine craftsmanship over mass production are drawn to this authenticity.
The expanded brand now honors the full emotional landscape of life. Joyous milestones like graduations and weddings. Quiet moments of friendship, everyday affection, and personal growth. Tender memorials for those who have passed. Pieces that welcome new beginnings—and pieces that gently acknowledge grief. Each item is created with the understanding that jewelry becomes a token of memory, comfort, celebration, or connection.
“Marked with meaning” serves as both the brand’s signature phrase and guiding philosophy. KinMarked pieces are more than accessories—they carry stories, names, dates, and symbols that hold personal significance. They become heirlooms infused with emotional truth rather than simple decoration.
Though Lisa is based in Toledo, Ohio, KinMarked has grown into a nationwide online brand. The company’s location reinforces its roots as a genuine small business, while its e-commerce model allows it to serve customers across the United States and beyond. There is no storefront—just handcrafted artistry reaching customers wherever their stories unfold.
KinMarked’s rebrand positions the company for expanded visibility while preserving the heart-centered character longtime customers cherish. The new identity better reflects the depth, versatility, and emotional resonance of Lisa’s jewelry, opening doors to gift guides, lifestyle features, and broader recognition among people who seek meaningful, personalized keepsakes.
From its origins as a new mother’s creative escape to its present role as a trusted source for handcrafted sentimental jewelry, KinMarked LLC celebrates eleven years of growth while stepping boldly into its next chapter—one where every piece continues to be, in every sense, marked with meaning.
