Memorial Jewellery | Ashes & Hair Keepsake Jewellery UK

Cherish your loved ones and beloved pets forever with my handcrafted memorial jewellery. Each piece is lovingly made by me in my South Oxfordshire studio to preserve precious memories of those who matter most. Whether you wish to preserve cremation ashes, a lock of hair, pet fur, dog hair, cat fur, horse hair, or flowers, my unique keepsakes provide a meaningful way to keep them close to your heart. Choose from sterling silver, 9ct gold, and gold-filled necklaces, rings, earrings, lockets, and bracelets—each one a timeless tribute crafted with care and compassion.

What Is Memorial Jewellery?

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

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

What Can Be Preserved in Memorial Jewellery?

  • Human Ashes – Cremation ashes from loved ones, parents, grandparents, children, or family members
  • Pet Ashes – Ashes from beloved dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, or other cherished pets
  • Human Hair – Locks of hair from loved ones, baby's first haircut, or wedding hair
  • Pet Fur – Dog fur, cat fur, horse hair, or fur from any beloved pet
  • 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 Flowers – Anniversary flowers, birthday bouquets, or meaningful blooms

How The Process Works

Step 1: Choose Your Jewellery
Browse my collection and select your preferred style, metal, and size. I offer rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and lockets in various designs.

Step 2: Place Your Order
Complete your purchase and I'll send you detailed instructions via email within 24 hours.

Step 3: Send Your Materials
You'll need just a small pinch of ashes (about 1/4 teaspoon), 5-10 strands of hair or fur, or a few flower petals. I'll provide my South Oxfordshire address and guidance on safe packaging. I handle all materials with the utmost care and respect.

Step 4: Drying (If Needed for Flowers)
If you send fresh flowers (UK only), I'll carefully dry them for 3 weeks before preservation. Dried flowers can be sent from anywhere and skip this step.

Step 5: Handcrafting (2-4 Weeks)
I carefully encapsulate your keepsake in high-quality eco-friendly resin, often adding opal flakes or preserved flowers for extra beauty. Each piece is hand-finished and polished by me in my studio.

Step 6: Delivery
Your memorial jewellery arrives in eco-friendly packaging with care instructions. Any remaining ashes, hair, fur, or flowers are returned to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much ashes, hair, or flowers do I need to send?
Just a small pinch of ashes (about 1/4 teaspoon), 5-10 strands of hair or fur, or a few flower petals. I only need a tiny amount to create your jewellery.

Will I get any leftover materials back?
Yes, absolutely. Any unused ashes, hair, fur, or flowers are carefully returned to you with your finished jewellery.

How long does it take?
Production takes 2-4 weeks from when I receive your materials. For fresh flowers (UK only), add 3 weeks drying time. I'll keep you updated throughout the process.

Can I wear my memorial jewellery every day?
Yes! My jewellery is designed for everyday wear. I recommend removing it before swimming, showering, or applying lotions to maintain its beauty.

Can I include pet ashes, dog fur, cat fur, or horse hair?
Absolutely. My memorial jewellery is perfect for preserving pet ashes, dog fur, cat fur, horse hair, or any other beloved animal's remains or fur.

Can I combine ashes and hair in one piece?
Yes! I can combine ashes with hair, fur, or flowers in a single piece of jewellery.

What's the difference between your memorial jewellery and traditional lockets?
Traditional lockets simply hold ashes or hair inside and can open. My memorial jewellery permanently encapsulates your keepsake in crystal-clear resin, creating a beautiful, sealed tribute that's visible and protected forever.

Do you offer memorial jewellery for pets?
Yes! A significant portion of my work is pet memorial jewellery. I create beautiful pieces for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and all beloved pets.
