Get to Know Rory's Inspiration Lapidary Arts
Experience the unique beauty of Rory's Inspiration Lapidary Arts! Our handcrafted jewelry is a heartfelt tribute to our beloved son, Rory Bain, whom we lost on April 1, 2011, to suicide. Each creation honors his memory and the special bond he shared with his father through their shared passion for collecting stones and rocks.
Every piece we craft tells a story of love, remembrance, and resilience — celebrating not only the natural beauty of the stones but also the joy, strength, and healing that come from honoring those precious moments.
At Rory's Inspirations, we believe jewelry can be more than adornment; it can be a source of comfort, a reminder of cherished connections, and a symbol of hope. We invite you to explore our collection and carry a piece of this meaningful journey with you.
Experience inspired artistry through designs that honor natural wonder, personal growth, and the spirit that shapes every journey.

How One Passion Sparked a Movement
What began as quiet walks and shared discoveries between a father and son soon became something more—something sacred. Rory and his father bonded over a love for nature, collecting stones not just for their beauty, but for the stories they carried. When Rory’s life was tragically cut short in 2011, those small moments became the foundation for something powerful.
Rory’s Inspirations was born not only to honor his memory, but to share the joy he found in nature with the world. Each handcrafted piece of jewelry reflects that legacy—infused with purpose, emotion, and meaning that goes beyond the materials.
In this ABC7 News feature, you’ll step into the heart of our mission: to transform grief into creativity, memory into artistry, and personal pain into something others can hold onto. These designs are more than adornments—they are symbols of healing, resilience, and enduring love.
