How Memorial Jewellery Is Made
People often ask me what actually happens to their loved one's ashes once they reach me, and I completely understand why. You are trusting me with something so precious, and I never forget that.
When you send ashes for a piece of silver or gold, they come to my bench, not a factory. I work by hand, and there are a few different ways I can create your piece. Ashes or hair can be inlaid in clear resin. Ashes can be imprinted, or rolled, onto solid metal. Ashes can also be sealed securely inside a ring, so they are hidden and protected within it, and the titanium hidden ashes rings I offer use this same technique. Fingerprints and paw prints are laser engraved onto the metal. Each one suits a different person and a different way of life, and I am always happy to help you choose.
These guides take you behind the bench: the honest truth about resin, how an ashes ring is made, and how to tell which technique is right for you. You can also read how your jewellery is made, and why families choose to work with one jeweller.
