Since 1996, we've chosen not to use resin in our memorial jewellery because we believe a memorial should be created using materials with a proven history of lasting quality. Precious metals, gemstones and glass have been used in fine jewellery for generations, which is why we continue to use these traditional materials today.

• 100% resin-free memorial jewellery.
• Created using traditional jewellery making techniques.
• Materials chosen for their beauty, quality and durability.
• Designed to be worn, loved and treasured for years to come.
• Handcrafted in our Worthing and Birmingham workshops.

We believe the materials used to create a memorial are just as important as the craftsmanship itself, which is why we've remained committed to this approach for 30 years.

Every piece of jewellery is handcrafted using solid precious metals by our experienced in-house jewellers. We work in sterling silver, 9ct and 18ct gold, and platinum, giving you the full choice of precious metals for your memorial.

• Sterling silver, 9ct gold, 18ct gold and platinum.
• Yellow, white and rose gold available.
• Handcrafted in our Worthing and Birmingham workshops.
• All jewellery is hallmarked by the Birmingham Assay Office.
• Our team can help you choose the right metal for your design, lifestyle and budget.

Every memorial begins with responsibly sourced materials. We carefully select trusted suppliers who share our commitment to quality, traceability and responsible sourcing, ensuring every piece is made with integrity from the very beginning.

• Responsibly sourced precious metals from trusted suppliers.
• Natural and laboratory-grown diamond options available.
• Conflict-free diamonds sourced through reputable supply chains.
• Carefully selected gemstones sourced from specialist suppliers around the world.
• Every memorial handcrafted in our Worthing and Birmingham workshops.

We carefully choose every material for its quality, beauty and durability, so your memorial can be treasured for generations.

Yes. We can create memorial jewellery using human hair as well as fur from a much-loved pet.

The hair can be fine, coarse, short or long. Only a very small amount is needed, so even just a few precious strands can be incorporated into your memorial jewellery.

A small amount of hair is carefully placed within a discreet compartment inside the jewellery. The compartment is then permanently sealed to keep the hair safely contained within the piece.

This allows us to create hair memorial jewellery without setting the hair into resin or another poured material. Our memorial jewellery is completely resin-free.

No. Our hair memorial jewellery is designed to look like traditional jewellery, with the hair safely contained within a hidden compartment that is permanently sealed.

This creates a very discreet memorial. To anyone else it simply looks like a beautiful piece of jewellery, while you know that the hair is held safely inside.

We normally ask for a small pinch of hair, but if you have less than this, that’s absolutely fine. We can work with any amount that you send us.

Only a small amount is needed for each piece, and any hair we do not use is carefully returned to you with your finished jewellery.

Yes. You can have both ashes and hair incorporated into the same piece of memorial jewellery, or we can include hair from more than one person.

This can be a particularly meaningful way to keep loved ones together within one ring, necklace, pendant, bracelet or other suitable piece of jewellery.

Absolutely. You don’t need to know exactly what you want before speaking to us. Our experienced team can help you compare designs, precious metals, gemstones and personalisation, as well as answer any questions you have about using the hair you have available.
