Jewellery to Keep Them Close

Create a special piece of jewellery to honour someone you love and keep their memory close.

Memorial jewellery is deeply personal, and I’ll work closely with you to create something that feels meaningful and true to the person, memory or connection you want to honour.

Together, we’ll explore your ideas, stories and symbolism, from choosing gemstones and materials to developing the design and adding those little personal details that make the piece uniquely yours. Throughout the process, we’ll stay in touch so you can watch your piece and the memories held within it come to life.

Fingerprint Jewellery

A unique imprint of someone you love, captured as a piece to keep close.

A fingerprint is carefully captured as a mould impression, then used to handcraft a piece of silver jewellery in silver art clay, preserving the unique lines and details of their fingerprint in a lasting keepsake.

Ashes Jewellery

A little piece of someone you love, held close within your jewellery.

A small amount of ashes is carefully set behind a gemstone and sealed within the jewellery, creating a deeply personal keepsake made especially for you.

Custom Engraving

A personal message, date, memory or symbol, held in silver or gold.

Whether it’s a loved one’s name, special quote, a meaningful date, or a little symbol with special significance, custom engraving allows you to weave something deeply personal into your jewellery.

Bespoke Memorial Designs

Process

1. COMMUNICATION & IDEAS
Contact me via message/email to raise your interest in having some bespoke jewels made. If you already have some ideas, we discuss them and build on them together - or if you're not sure about what you want yet, I give you some ideas & options.

2. DESIGN PROCESS & SOURCING
I then do some sketches of different design options and send them to you. You can let me know what you like and if there's any alterations/additions you want. If you're incorporating a gemstone in your design, I will send you through some options for you to decide on.

3. FINAL DESIGN
Once I have your feedback, I will then create the final design for you to approve. We decide on the gemstone & finalise the bespoke piece before creation.

4. HANDCRAFTING
Once everything has been finalised, I will then start crafting your bespoke dream jewels. I send you regular updates and photos during the making process so you can see your jewels come to life. Each piece of jewellery is handcrafted from start to finish by me - from precious metals & quality gemstones.

Lead time

Lead time for bespoke jewellery can vary depending on the complexity of the design. I usually estimate around 2-6 weeks for making once the design has been finalised.

If you need your bespoke jewellery for a specific date, please let me know as soon as possible.

Cost

The cost of your bespoke jewellery depends on the materials used (metals & gemstones) and the complexity of the design.

If you have a idea in mind of how much you'd like to spend, this can be taken into account when considering the metal, gemstone and design/making complexity of your bespoke jewellery.

Bespoke Stories:

Yoshi & Goblin
A memorial ring created to honour love, memory and connection.

  • STORY

    Vic came to me wanting to create a memorial ring for her beloved parrot, Yoshi. From the beginning, we wanted the piece to be more than simply a memorial. We wanted to capture their connection and the things that made Yoshi so special.

  • SYMBOLISM

    The egg shape became an important part of the design. Vic has always had a strong affinity with the egg shape, using it in her artwork as a symbol of rebirth and creativity. As Yoshi had also hatched from an egg, a pear shaped stone felt like a beautiful symbol of their connection.

  • GEMSTONES

    The deep green emerald represents Yoshi's bright green feathers and his birthstone, whilst the moonstone represents Vic and her birthstone, and a bright orange hessonite garnet to represent Vic's beloved ginger cat, Goblin, who also recently sadly passed.

  • DETAILS

    There were lots of sketches, ideas, and conversations until the ring felt like a true reflection of everything Vic wanted it to symbolise. Every detail was considered, creating a piece that felt completely personal to her and to the memories she wanted to carry within the piece.

  • CONNECTION

    Vic was absolutely thrilled with the finished piece and wears it every day as a reminder of the connection between her, Yoshi and Goblin. It was such an honour to create such a special piece that holds such a meaningful story.


  • REMEMBER

    Every bespoke piece begins with your story, your ideas and the meaning you want it to hold. Get in touch to explore working together to create a special, meaningful piece of jewellery to honour and remember someone you love.
