What Can Be Included in Keepsake Jewellery?

One of the most common questions we receive is:

“What can actually be included in a keepsake piece?”

It’s such an important question and one we’re always happy to answer with care and clarity.

Keepsake jewellery is designed to hold a very small amount of something deeply meaningful. These tiny inclusions are carefully set within resin or stone, becoming a subtle yet powerful way to keep your memories close.

What Can Be Included?

Each piece is individually created and can hold a small amount of:

Hair or Fur

A lock of hair from a loved one, a snippet of baby hair, or fur from a cherished pet.

Ashes

A small, carefully measured amount of cremation ashes can be gently incorporated into your chosen design.

Other Meaningful Inclusions

We can often include other personal elements that hold significance for you. If you’re unsure, simply reach out, we’re always happy to guide you.

Sometimes keepsakes are created in memory.
Sometimes they are created in celebration.
And sometimes they are simply a way to hold a moment still.
