WHY WE NEVER USE RESIN IN OUR JEWELLERY
OUR MATERIALS VS RESIN
At Ashes With Art, we never use resin in our jewellery, and never will.
While resin may be common in keepsake jewellery, it simply isn’t suitable for durable memorial jewellery.
Unlike resin, our materials are UV-stable, waterproof, and trusted by professional jewellers for generations. That means you can wear your ashes jewellery with confidence, knowing it’s made to the highest standards, no resin, ever.
THE PROFESSIONAL ALTERNATIVE
We use only time-tested, professional-grade materials, the same ones used by high street jewellers and premium jewellery brands.
Instead of resin, we offer lasting alternatives such as diamonds, semi-precious gemstones, glass and plain precious metal design with hidden chambers that hold the ashes or hair, all carefully crafted to stand the test of time.
You’ll never find resin in a quality jeweller’s display case, which is why you won’t find it in ours.
