Ashes

In recent years I've been commissioned to make various pieces of jewellery which contain the ashes of a loved one.  Behind the stone of each of these is a tiny and permanently closed compartment which contain the ashes.

Silver, Alexandrite & Moonstone Ashes Pendants

  • I make the band on its own (if making a ring) and send it to the customer, along with a small container for the ashes and their choice of stone.  This a two stage process because once the ashes and stone are set in place, resizing isn't possible, so this gives the opportunity to resize the ring a little if needed.

  • The customer then sends the ring, stone and ashes back to me to complete.  The ashes are placed into a small compartment behind the stone and a 'lid' secures them in place with the stone set on top.  The ring and any remaining ashes are then returned to the customer.

  • ​I understand that it's a very personal and precious item that I'm handling and therefore you can rest assured that I will treat what you have entrusted to me with the utmost care and respect.
