Memorial Earrings | Handcrafted Ashes & Hair Keepsake Jewellery

Keep your loved one close with my handcrafted memorial earrings. Each pair is lovingly made by me in my South Oxfordshire studio to preserve a small portion of ashes, hair, pet fur, or flowers in beautiful, wearable keepsakes. My collection includes stud earrings, hoop earrings, and drop earrings crafted in sterling silver, 9ct gold, and stainless steel.

What Are Memorial Earrings?

Memorial earrings, also known as ashes earrings or cremation earrings, are specially designed keepsake jewellery pieces that hold a small amount of cremation ashes, a lock of hair, pet fur, or preserved flowers. My memorial earrings encapsulate your keepsake within the earring itself, sealed permanently in high-quality resin alongside shimmering opal flakes.

Each pair is completely unique – the ashes, hair, fur, or flowers create natural patterns and textures within the resin, making your memorial earrings truly one-of-a-kind. They're designed for everyday wear, allowing you to keep your loved one, beloved pet, or special memories close at all times.

What Can Be Preserved in Memorial Earrings?

  • Cremation Ashes – Human or pet ashes from dogs, cats, horses, or other beloved animals
  • Hair or Fur – Locks of hair from loved ones, pet fur, or horse hair
  • Wedding Flowers – Petals from your bridal bouquet to remember your special day
  • Funeral Flowers – Blooms from a memorial service to keep their memory close
  • Special Occasion Flowers – Anniversary flowers, birthday bouquets, or meaningful blooms
  • Dried Flowers – Forget-me-nots, roses, or any preserved flowers with sentimental value

Materials & Styles

Sterling Silver Memorial Earrings

My most popular choice. Sterling silver (925) is durable, hypoallergenic, and develops a beautiful patina over time. Perfect for everyday wear and suitable for sensitive skin. Available in studs, hoops, and drop earrings.

9ct Gold Memorial Earrings

For a luxurious, lasting tribute. 9ct gold is harder-wearing than higher carat gold, making it ideal for earrings worn daily. Available in yellow gold and rose gold finishes. These premium pieces are perfect for special occasions or as heirloom keepsakes.

Stainless Steel Memorial Earrings

An affordable, durable option. Stainless steel is hypoallergenic, tarnish-resistant, and perfect for everyday wear. Ideal for those with metal sensitivities or who prefer a modern, minimalist aesthetic.

Design Options

  • Stud Earrings – Classic, elegant studs in various sizes (4mm-10mm) perfect for everyday wear
  • Hoop Earrings – Modern hoop designs with resin-encapsulated ashes or flowers
  • Drop Earrings – Elegant drop designs that dangle gracefully
  • Heart Earrings – Romantic heart-shaped designs, single or double heart settings
  • Gemstone Earrings – Featuring opal flakes that shimmer with iridescent rainbow effects
  • Sphere Earrings – Round, orb-shaped earrings with resin-encapsulated keepsakes
