Celebrating Connection and Mindfulness through Handcrafted, Meaningful Jewelry
At Pale Blue Dot Designs, we believe in the power of connection, compassion, and meaningful moments. Founded by Amy Tolleson, a loving mother, wife, dog mom, and expert crafter and event planner. Our journey began as a tribute to her youngest son, Ian Tolleson. The thoughtfulness and compassion received from friends and family during challenging times inspired us to create something beautiful, something that resonates with love every day.
Dear Ian David,
You will remain a beacon of light in my world that was forever changed on 11/27/2021. I will forever hold your 27 years of joy dearly and with the utmost love & gratitude. Your admiration for Carl Sagan’s “Pale Blue Dot” speech inspired me to make bracelets as a gesture to family & friends who unwaveringly provided comfort and support and showed their love through our tragic loss. The “Pale Blue Dot” speech took on a deeper meaning for me after your death along with many views of this thing called life. More than ever I realize nothing is guaranteed, the worries of the day are usually insignificant, and love & kindness are always a good lead. I share as well great admiration for the speech that many do not know. To bring recognition to it and possibly spark thoughts in others for the profound message it delivers eases my heart and brings me joy.
"There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."
- Carl Sagen
