Years ago, I helped my wife launch her brand, Gemma Raffo. A brand born out adversity and pain with the hope of helping others get through difficult times. Unfortunately, trying to run two websites became overwhelming so we temporarily shut it down with the intention of bringing it back "when time allowed". I've finally accepted that time will never allow so we are going to combine the brands and release products, new and old, here on the J. L. L. site. 

This is a reintroduction of her first coin, The Passing Coin, but with a twist. A special edition CNC machined and deep laser engraved version. We will be bringing back the original soon but I was too excited about this version not to launch it.

The Passing Coin is just that, it is a coin created to keep for yourself and pass on to those you love. We created the Passing Coin as a symbol of love, strength and reassurance, and to solidify the everlasting bond with those you care about. I love having something tangible to hold closely, acting as a constant reminder that no matter what the current situation may be in our lives, our love is safe and can withstand anything life may throw our way. We can hold onto the coin during the darkest of hours, whether feeling alone and apart from those we love most, nervous about starting a new chapter in life, living thousands of miles away for an unknown amount of time, no matter the circumstance, the Passing Coin reminds you that someone loves you. I carry this coin with me wherever I go, whether in my pocket or in my wallet, I never leave without it.  My girls carry one as well, which in turn keeps the bond and connection between us, and is a constant reminder that our love will never go away.  I love this coin, it can be given for a thousand different reasons to a thousand different people, and whatever the circumstance, the Passing Coin’s purpose will always remain; No matter where you are, I am here with you, and this too shall pass.
