From the age of 12 I suffered from chronic pain. I saw doctor after doctor for 14 years, had 2 major surgeries, but my pain only got worse. I turned online to a chronically ill community that told me about a condition I may have: endometriosis. They connected me to a rarity: a doctor qualified to give me an endometriosis diagnosis/surgical treatment & the only specialist in my state. By the time I had surgery, the damage was so severe, I had to have a hysterectomy that put me into menopause at age 33.
I became debilitated from the hormonal change of surgical menopause. My breasts hurt constantly from the estrogen changes in my body. I once again went online to search for help & learned about Hormone Replacement Therapy for menopausal symptoms from other folks who had suffered. It took me years to find a specialist to balance my hormones on estrogen therapy, but I finally got relief to a long list of menopausal symptoms, including breast pain.
I used to keep my illnesses quiet, but when I began sharing my story I found a community of others who had also been suffering in silence, eager for relief but with nowhere to turn. A community that helps each other by telling their stories & how they survived it all. I created Body Talk Jewelry to do the same: to start a conversation around the very thing we are told to keep quiet about - our bodies & how we heal them.
I created the Body Talk boobs designs to honor the other folks I met with stories of how their breasts had impacted their lives. The one thing all these folks had in common was a story of strength. They reminded me how essential it is to talk about what it means to have & heal our bodies.
I hope Body Talk Jewelry serves as a reminder of a few things my body has taught me: Be grateful for your beautiful body, even when it hurts. You, even at your most vulnerable, are deserving of love. Speak your story, even when your voice shakes & breaks. Love yourself, scars & all.

Tits Post Earrings
Body Talk jewelry that is colored is made from titanium - a lightweight durable metal.
Colors on titanium pieces are created through anodizing - a process where titanium pieces are dipped into a chemical solution. Electric currents are sent through the solution using an anodizing device, which results in the submerged titanium changing color. You may see slight variances in color or tone due to this hand done process.
Each color is custom and hand created, so pieces may vary slightly in appearance or tone. Color may be scratched since it is on the outer layer of the metal.
Use a soft cloth and household cleaner to wipe off fingerprints and oil marks from titanium to restore brightness.
All packaging is made from paper to reduce the environmental impact of our products.
Choose whatever color you like, but know it may take me time to order/sand/anodize/assemble your Body Talk Jewelry to your specifications.
If you require a fast delivery, please email me jessie.moench@gmail.com before purchase to see what color is available right now.
Otherwise, if the color you want is not in stock, it may take me roughly 1-3 weeks to order, sand, anodize, and assemble your new custom jewery. I promise it's worth the wait!
