Creating a fully custom memorial design
Bespoke, Unique, For You

Our Custom Design Service

If you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, or simply want something truly unique, our Custom Design Service can help. From small changes to one of our existing designs through to completely bespoke memorial jewellery or glass artwork, our designers, jewellers and glass artists will work with you to create the perfect piece.

Bespoke doesn’t have to mean complicated or expensive. Because we design and make everything ourselves, we can help with anything from a small alteration to one of our existing designs through to completely bespoke memorial jewellery or glass artwork.

  • Custom ashes or hair jewellery.
  • Personalising or adapting one of our existing designs.
  • Remodelling or recreating sentimental jewellery.
  • Changing or upgrading gemstones.
  • Using your own precious metals or gemstones.
  • Custom engagement rings, wedding rings and matching sets.
  • Fingerprint, handwriting, paw print and bespoke engraving.
  • Custom glass ashes artwork created by Siobhan Jones.

We work in sterling silver, 9ct and 18ct gold, and platinum, and can source natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, birthstones and coloured gemstones from specialist suppliers around the world.

Whether you have a clear vision or just the beginnings of an idea, our in-house design studio will work with you to transform it into a beautiful, handcrafted memorial you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

  • Professional design drawings to develop and refine your ideas.
  • 3D renders to help you visualise your design.
  • Physical 3D printed prototypes where appropriate.
  • Review and approve your design before production begins.
  • Expert guidance throughout the entire design process.

By taking the time to develop and approve every detail before your jewellery is handcrafted, you can move forward with complete confidence and peace of mind.

We offer free bespoke design consultations by video, phone or in person.

  • We begin by listening to your ideas and discussing what you would like.
  • You can share photographs, sketches, drawings or existing jewellery.
  • We discuss metals, gemstones, engraving, design details and budget.
  • Where required, we provide design mock-ups, computer generated 3D renders and even physical 3D printed prototypes for your approval.
  • Once agreed, we provide full order details and a personalised payment link.
  • Your approved design is then handcrafted by our jewellers or glass artists.

How much does custom ashes jewellery cost?
Small alterations or personalisation can start from around £195. Fully bespoke pricing depends on the design, precious metal, gemstones and work involved, and we will provide a clear quotation before you proceed.

How long does custom memorial jewellery or artwork take?
Custom designs usually take around 2–6 weeks from receipt of ashes or hair. We will confirm the expected timescale for your individual design.

Can you add ashes to my existing jewellery?
Yes, we regularly work with existing jewellery. Our team will assess the piece and explain what is possible.

I don’t know where to start. Can you still help?
Absolutely. Whether you have a fully formed idea or just a rough concept, we’ll guide you through the design process. Simply tell us about your ideas, style and approximate budget, and we’ll help create something truly personal.

Choosing an ashes memorial ring
Guided Support

Buying an Ashes Ring

Choosing an ashes ring is deeply personal, but it doesn’t need to feel complicated. From finding the right design and precious metal to checking your ring size, choosing engraving and deciding how you would like the ashes or hair included, our experienced team are here to guide you every step of the way.

There is no right or wrong choice. The best ashes ring is simply the one that feels the most meaningful and comfortable for you. Think about the jewellery you already enjoy wearing, whether you prefer something subtle or more decorative, and how often you plan to wear your memorial.

  • Choose from hundreds of designs, including everyday rings, statement rings, signet rings, wedding rings, eternity rings, stacking rings and bespoke designs.
  • If you'd like the ashes to be visible, choose one of our fused glass ashes gemstone designs, with or without diamond accents.
  • If you prefer a more discreet memorial, choose one of our hidden chamber designs in plain precious metals, diamonds or coloured gemstones.
  • Select from sterling silver, 9ct or 18ct gold, and platinum.
  • Consider adding engraving, birthstones or other personal touches to make your memorial even more meaningful.
  • Our team can help you compare designs, ring widths, colours and available options.

You don’t need to know your ring size before ordering. We can send you a complimentary ring sizer where required, or professionally size your finger in our Worthing showroom.

  • Select the option stating that you are unsure of your size when ordering online.
  • We'll include a complimentary ring sizer with your Ashes or Hair Collection Pack where required.
  • Measure the finger on which you intend to wear the ring.
  • Check the size more than once and at different times of day, as fingers can naturally change slightly.
  • Contact us if you are unsure which size to choose.

If you order a ring online and select "I'm unsure – please send me a ring sizer", we'll include a complimentary ring sizer with your Ashes or Hair Collection Pack.

If you've requested one of our Free Order Packs before ordering, a complimentary ring sizer will already be included.

Follow the short guide below to see how to use it. Alternatively, we can professionally size your finger in our Worthing showroom.

Please contact us if your completed ring doesn’t fit as expected. Our rings can be resized if required.

Many of our ashes rings can be personalised with engraving. The amount and position available depend on the individual design and ring size, so please speak to us if you have something particular in mind.

  • Names, initials, dates and short personal messages.
  • Fingerprints, handwriting and paw prints where suitable.
  • Symbols, meaningful artwork and completely bespoke engraving.
  • Engraving can often be confirmed after placing your order.

Absolutely. You don’t need to make the decision alone. Our experienced team can help you compare designs, metals, colours, gemstones, ring widths and personalisation options without any pressure to order.

FAQs FOR ASHES MEMORIAL RINGS

Which finger do you wear an ashes ring on?

There's no rule — you can wear an ashes ring on whichever finger feels right. Many people choose the ring finger of the right hand, keeping the left free for a wedding band, while others wear their memorial ring stacked alongside an engagement or wedding ring as a lasting connection. Some prefer a little finger or middle finger simply because the fit and style suit them. Our ashes rings are made to order in every size, so whichever finger you choose, your ring will fit properly. If you'd like guidance on sizing or style, call us on 01903 216425.

Is gold ashes jewellery hallmarked?

Yes — every piece of gold ashes jewellery we make is fully hallmarked. UK law requires gold items over one gram to be independently tested and marked by an assay office, and we hallmark every piece regardless of weight. The hallmark is your guarantee that the metal is exactly what we say it is — 9ct or 18ct gold — verified by an independent authority, not just by us. With ashes rings, the hallmarking is completed first, then the ashes are added and the compartment permanently sealed, so the mark never disturbs your loved one's ashes. Our silver and platinum pieces are hallmarked too.

What's the difference between 9ct and 18ct gold for ashes jewellery?

The difference is the amount of pure gold in the metal. 9ct gold is 37.5% pure gold, giving a lighter colour and a more affordable price, while 18ct is 75% pure gold — a richer, warmer tone and a noticeably weightier feel. Both are hallmarked, both are available in yellow, white or rose, and both hold your loved one's ashes in exactly the same way — the sealed compartment or glass gemstone is identical whichever carat you choose. 9ct suits everyday wear on a budget; 18ct suits a piece intended as a family heirloom. If you're unsure, call us on 01903 216425.

Can I choose yellow, white or rose gold?

Yes — our gold ashes jewellery is available in yellow, white or rose, in your choice of 9ct or 18ct. Yellow gold is the classic warm tone, white gold has a cool silvery finish that pairs well with diamonds, and rose gold carries a soft blush colour that has become a popular modern choice. Whichever you choose, the piece is handcrafted to order, hallmarked, and holds your loved one's ashes in exactly the same way. If you're matching a memorial ring to a wedding band or an existing piece, call us on 01903 216425 and we'll help you find the closest match.

Can gold ashes jewellery be engraved?

Yes — most of our gold ashes rings can be engraved on the inside of the band, adding a name, date or short message that sits privately against the skin. Engraving works beautifully on both 9ct and 18ct gold, and the same option is available on our silver and platinum pieces. Every sealed compartment is also engraved with our chamber marker — a small symbol showing exactly where your loved one's ashes rest within the piece. If you'd like to discuss wording or check whether your chosen design can be engraved, call us on 01903 216425 before you order.

Which finger do you wear an ashes ring on?

There's no rule — you can wear an ashes ring on whichever finger feels right. Many people choose the ring finger of the right hand, keeping the left free for a wedding band, while others wear their memorial ring stacked alongside an engagement or wedding ring as a lasting connection. Some prefer a little finger or middle finger simply because the fit and style suit them. Our ashes rings are made to order in every size, so whichever finger you choose, your ring will fit properly. If you'd like guidance on sizing or style, call us on 01903 216425.
