Ashes Jewellery for Pets: A Way to Keep Them Close Forever
There is no love quite like the love we have for our pets. They are our companions, our comfort, and often, our most loyal friends. Whether it’s the wag of a tail when you walk through the door or the gentle purr of a cat curling up on your lap, pets bring a special kind of joy that stays with us long after they’re gone. When we lose them, the space they leave behind can feel enormous.
Creating something beautiful to remember them by can bring a sense of peace and closeness. Ashes jewellery for pets offers a truly personal way to keep their memory with you each day. It is more than a piece of jewellery. It is a connection, a comfort, and a heartfelt tribute to a beloved friend.
What is Pet Ashes Jewellery?
Pet ashes jewellery is exactly what it sounds like: jewellery made using a small amount of your pet’s ashes or fur. It can take many forms, including pendants, rings, bracelets, or charms. Each piece is carefully handcrafted to be as unique as the pet it honours.
For many of my customers, the idea of wearing a necklace for ashes or a ring that holds a piece of their furry friend offers reassurance during difficult times. It allows you to carry their presence with you in a subtle but meaningful way.
Why Choose Jewellery Made from Pet Ashes?
When someone loses a pet, the grief can be just as intense and long-lasting as any other form of bereavement. The quiet routines, the empty bed, the missing paw steps on the floor — they all remind us of the absence.
Ashes jewellery helps to fill that space with a symbol of love. It is a memorial gift not just for yourself but also for friends or family who are mourning a much-loved companion. Each piece I create is designed to offer comfort, connection, and a physical way to hold on to those memories.
As a small independent business, I personally handcraft every piece of jewellery. I understand how precious your pet was to you, and I treat each commission with the respect and care it deserves.
Popular Styles of Pet Memorial Jewellery
Necklace for Ashes
A necklace for ashes is a popular choice because it is discreet and wearable every day. It can be shaped like a heart, a paw print, or a simple circle. Inside, a small chamber or setting holds a portion of your pet’s ashes, resin-infused material, or fur.
Paw Print Jewellery
Similar to fingerprint jewellery, paw print jewellery is an increasingly popular way to memorialise a pet. If you have a clear image of your pet’s paw, it can be engraved or even imprinted into the metal of the jewellery, often alongside their ashes.
Ashes Rings and Charm Bracelets
Rings are a delicate and intimate option, often chosen for pets who were incredibly close to their owners. Bracelets with charms offer a more customisable option, where multiple pets or memories can be celebrated in one piece.
Jewellery Made from Ashes and Fur
Some clients choose to include fur alongside ashes in their memorial jewellery. This can create a layered effect in the resin and offer a more textured look, adding another deeply personal element to the piece.

A Personal Story
One of my recent clients lost her golden retriever, Alfie, after twelve beautiful years together. She wanted a necklace that would feel like a gentle reminder of him, especially on difficult days. We created a silver heart-shaped pendant with a tiny amount of his ashes and a paw print engraved on the back. She wrote to me later to say it brought her comfort every time she wore it, like he was right there beside her again.
These are the stories that stay with me. They are the reason I do what I do.
Choosing the Right Piece for You
Choosing a memorial gift for yourself or someone else can feel overwhelming, especially when you are grieving. Here are a few things to consider:
- Style – Do you want something minimal or decorative? A pendant, ring, or bracelet?
- Metal – Sterling silver, gold, or platinum are all options depending on your preference.
- Personalisation – Consider engraving names, dates, or messages.
- Use of Ashes or Fur – Some people prefer to use just ashes, others just fur, and some use both.
If you’re not sure, I’m always here to help guide you through the options. There is no rush, and no pressure — this is your tribute, and it should feel right for you.
