Julia

Julia is the owner of Ashes Memorial Jewellery. Julia is a highly trained jeweller and silversmith who trained at the Birmingham Jewellery School back in 2001.

Julia created Ashes Memorial Jewellery in 2016 after sadly losing several family members. She was uninspired by the memorial jewellery and keepsakes on offer at the time of her grief. Julia’s passion for handmade jewellery and love for unusual jewellery design was the catalyst for the creation of Ashes Memorial Jewellery.

Julia proudly has her specialist memorial jewellery workshop in the heart of Burton Upon Trent in Staffordshire. Julia’s compassion for her customers, striking jewellery designs and unrivalled memorial jewellery innovation has seen Ashes Memorial Jewellery go from strength to strength. AMJ is now one of the largest handmade memorial jewellery specialists in the UK.

About Ashes Memorial Jewellery

Ashes Memorial Jewellery was founded by Julia Usher. Julia trained as a contemporary jeweller and silversmith at the Birmingham School of Jewellery, located in the heart of the jewellery quarter and has been an established jeweller for 14 years. Ashes Memorial Jewellery was founded after Julia lost a loved one and she was unable to find any unusual memorial jewellery to commemorate her loved one. Julia spent a year developing the first collection of signature memorial jewellery and developed the technique of rolling cremation ashes or hair onto silver or gold.

Ashes Memorial Jewellery has a specialist workshop in Burton Upon Trent, Staffordshire. Your ashes jewellery will be handcrafted to a very high standard by one of our specialist jewellers. We pride our business on offering a truly personal and caring service. We work very closely with all our customers. Our aim is not only to create a beautiful piece of jewellery but to create a unique treasure that you can keep close to you forever. Ashes Memorial Jewellery is a manufacturing workshop and we do not have a shop or showroom. Our workshop is up a flight of stairs and owing to our insurance and nature of the hazardous equipment within our workshop we are unable accommodate visitors.  You are however most welcome to drop off your loved one’s ashes via prior appointment.  Please call 01283 260245 after placing your order if you would like to do this.  If you also have any questions regarding the jewellery please don’t hesitate to call us.
