Gold jewelry set including necklaces and earrings on a marble surface

Why ilMio

We chose the name ilMio [eel MEE-oh] because it means "mine" in Italian. Every piece of jewelry we create isn't just yours. It's made from someone who is yours. These lips are from my daughter. These tiny feet belong to the sweet baby that is mine. This paw print comes from the furry friend who owns my heart. This forever connection is yours to treasure, yours to wear, yours to hold close.

Because the most exquisite jewelry doesn't just complement your style. It carries the essence of those who shape your world.

Where Love Becomes Wearable

Our story began with a mother's heart and a cousin's inspired vision. Natassia was preparing for a birthday trip, excited but navigating those complex emotions every parent knows when leaving their children. Her cousin Alex, who is like a sister to her, understood that weight parents carry even when they know they deserve to celebrate and live their own lives. Alex's solution was as innovative as it was profound: transform Natassia's daughters' lips into exquisite gold necklaces. The moment Natassia held those pieces, everything changed. They weren't just stunning jewelry (and they were stunning). They were her girls, with her, wherever she went. Those worried feelings dissolved into peace.

Designing What Matters

That transformative moment sparked something extraordinary. Natassia, Alex, and Marc (Natassia's husband) recognized they had discovered something profound: a way to carry love in its most refined form. They envisioned a brand where others could experience that same connection through meticulously crafted pieces that honor personal style while creating lasting bonds to the beloved ones who matter most.

This is what ilMio exists to do. We create heirloom-quality jewelry that transcends distance, preserves precious moments, and keeps your most treasured relationships close to your heart.

Individually Handcrafted, Eternally Meaningful

When most jewelry houses launch, they name themselves after the designer. We chose differently. While Natassia and Alex oversee every detail to ensure exceptional beauty and flawless execution, our jewelry is designed by something far more powerful: the beloved ones who inspire each creation.

The perfect imperfections of your loved one's lips. Your baby's tiny feet. Your cherished companion's paw. These are our true designers. We simply translate their unique beauty into wearable art that tells your story, individually handcrafted in solid 14K gold and sterling silver to last forever.
