What Can Be Put Inside Memorial Jewellery?

Memorial jewellery offers a beautiful and personal way to keep your loved ones close to your heart. Whether you're remembering a cherished family member, friend, or beloved pet, these handcrafted keepsakes can hold precious elements that celebrate their life and legacy.

At Lovely Oxford, we specialise in creating bespoke memorial jewellery UK that preserves your most treasured memories. Here's what can be beautifully preserved inside our handmade pieces.

Ashes and Cremation Remains

Cremation ashes are the most common inclusion in memorial jewellery. A tiny amount of ashes – often just a pinch – is carefully set within the resin or incorporated into the design of memorial rings, memorial necklaces, and memorial earrings.

The ashes create unique patterns and textures within each piece, ensuring your jewellery is truly one-of-a-kind. This process works beautifully for both human and pet memorial jewellery UK, allowing you to keep your beloved companion close forever.

Pet Fur, Dog Hair, and Cat Fur

For pet owners grieving the loss of a cherished dog, cat, horse, or other beloved animal, pet fur memorial jewellery UK offers a touching tribute. We can preserve locks of your pet's fur or hair within our hair and fur memorial jewellery collection.

Many pet owners choose to create memorial jewellery for dogs UK, cat memorial jewellery UK, or keepsakes for horses and other animals. The fur is carefully arranged to showcase its natural colour and texture, creating a beautiful reminder of your pet's unique personality.

Pet ashes jewellery UK is also incredibly popular, combining cremation ashes with fur clippings to create a comprehensive memorial piece that captures the essence of your beloved companion.

Human Hair

Locks of human hair have been used in memorial jewellery for centuries, and this Victorian tradition continues today. Whether it's a loved one's hair, a lock from a child's first haircut, or hair from a family member, we can preserve these precious strands in our hair memorial jewellery.

Hair creates beautiful visual interest within the resin, and its natural variations in colour and texture make each piece unique.

Baby Teeth and Pet Teeth

Precious baby teeth from your child's milestone moments can be preserved in memorial jewellery, creating a keepsake that celebrates their growth. Similarly, dog teeth, cat teeth, or teeth from other beloved pets can be incorporated into pet memorial jewellery UK pieces.

Many pet owners choose to preserve a dog tooth or canine tooth as part of their dog memorial jewellery UK collection, especially when combined with fur or ashes. This creates a tangible connection to your pet's physical presence and personality.

Umbilical Cord

Dried umbilical cord stumps can be preserved in memorial jewellery, creating a unique keepsake that commemorates your baby's birth and the profound connection between mother and child. This deeply personal inclusion celebrates the beginning of life and the unbreakable bond formed during pregnancy.

Umbilical cord pieces work beautifully in pendants and can be combined with other birth keepsakes for a comprehensive memory piece.

Dried Flowers and Petals

Flowers from a funeral, wedding bouquet, or a loved one's garden can be preserved forever in memorial jewellery. We carefully dry and set the petals to maintain their colour and form, creating stunning memorial keepsakes that capture a specific moment in time.

This option is particularly meaningful when combined with ashes or hair, creating a multi-layered tribute to your loved one or pet.

Breast Milk

For mothers wishing to commemorate their breastfeeding journey, breast milk can be preserved in memorial jewellery. This creates a unique keepsake celebrating the bond between mother and child and the nurturing journey you've shared.

Fabric and Textiles

Small pieces of meaningful fabric – from a favourite shirt, baby blanket, wedding dress, military uniform, or your pet's collar or bedding – can be incorporated into your memorial jewellery. These textile inclusions add personal significance and can be combined with other elements like ashes, fur, or hair.

Soil and Sand

Soil from a meaningful location, such as a family home, favourite dog walking spot, or resting place, can be preserved in memorial jewellery UK pieces. Beach sand from a beloved holiday destination or a special place you shared with your pet also makes a beautiful inclusion.

Combining Multiple Elements

Many customers choose to combine several elements in one piece – for example, pet ashes with fur and a dog tooth, human ashes with flowers from the funeral, hair with umbilical cord, or fabric from a cherished garment. This creates a rich, layered memorial that tells a complete story.

Our solid gold memorial jewellery UK collection offers premium heirloom-quality options for those seeking luxury keepsake pieces.

Important Information and Care Guidelines

Please note: All inclusions must be clean, dry, and provided in a secure container. We require only a small amount of each material – typically a pinch of ashes, a small lock of hair or fur, or a single tooth. Your remaining materials will be carefully returned to you.

Memorial jewellery is designed as a keepsake and should be treated with care. Whilst our pieces are durable for everyday wear, we recommend removing jewellery before swimming, bathing, or engaging in vigorous activities to preserve its beauty.

Each piece is handcrafted to order in our UK studio and is entirely unique. Natural variations in ashes, hair, fur, and other organic materials mean no two pieces are identical – this is what makes your memorial jewellery truly special.
