The Story Behind Milk Velvet Pearls
I’m Sarah Faulkner—jewelry artist, wife, mother, and walking miracle.
I founded Milk Velvet Pearls before my brain aneurysm burst.
Before the ambulance ride. Before the stroke.
Before I knew my own brain would become a battleground.
But let me be clear—my faith didn’t begin the day I almost died.
It was forged in earlier fires.
Through the heartbreak of my son’s addiction.
Through realizing my husband’s alcoholism, and my co-dependency.
Through quiet mornings when all I had was my journal and my prayers.
I was thanking God before the miracle.
Worshiping through my pain.
Learning to trust Him when nothing made sense.
So when the aneurysm ruptured—
When the doctors said I shouldn’t have survived—
I already knew what to do:
Keep Praying.
And God answered.
Not just with survival—
But with abundant life.
Now I run this business with a new fire.
Not just designing jewelry,
But sharing the truth:
God still does the impossible.
Beauty still comes from broken places.
And your story is not over.
At Milk Velvet Pearls, I don’t just craft adornment.
I create wearable testimony—
Jewelry that carries power, purpose, and praise.
Each pearl represents the pain you didn’t choose—
Transformed by the grace you did.
Every piece is for the woman who’s walked through the hard
and come out whole.
Not untouched, but rebuilt.
Not silenced, but singing.
You are not what you've lost.
You are what you've lived through.
And Who brought you through it.
This is my offering.
This is my worship.
This is my pearl.
My newest creation is a courage-filled, contemporary chunky silver chain statement piece called M77. It was inspired by Matthew 7:7, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you."
It's rare, and powerful, and an absolute delight to wear. The first exclusive batch sold out in less than 24 hours! The next limited batch will be available in mid-late August but is available for pre-order now.
You can get yours here:
With love and faith,
Sarah
