From the very beginning of creating our ashes jewellery range, we meticulously tested various materials, comparing glass and resin to ensure the highest quality for our pieces. Resin quickly stood out as the superior choice. Unlike glass, which is prone to chipping, cracking, or breaking, resin offers exceptional strength and durability. It also resists fading and discolouration, ensuring that your jewellery remains as beautiful as the memories it represents. That’s why every piece in our ashes jewellery collection is crafted with resin—to provide a lasting, reliable tribute to your loved one.

At Memories Made, our cremation ashes jewellery is designed to be truly unique, with a striking appearance that sets it apart from traditional ashes jewellery. We set out to create jewellery that highlights the beauty and significance of your loved one's ashes, making them appear gently suspended within the piece. Unlike other companies that simply pour the ashes into the design, we take a more thoughtful approach. Each piece is crafted with exceptional care, as we carefully select and place the ashes, choosing primarily the brightest white fragments to ensure they shine through the resin. This meticulous process allows the ashes to complement the elegance of the jewellery itself, creating a truly stunning and meaningful tribute.

We are committed to complete transparency, which is why every order is carefully recorded and shared on our social media pages. This allows you to witness your piece being lovingly crafted, offering you a window into the process and making us one of the most transparent memorial companies in the world.

The ashes are always visible in the finished piece, carefully positioned and evenly spaced to enhance the beauty of the design. This thoughtful placement ensures the ashes are seamlessly integrated into the jewellery, creating a harmonious and meaningful tribute to your loved one.

Additionally, all of our sterling silver items are plated in rhodium, a premium material that provides several benefits. Rhodium enhances the durability of your jewellery, making it more resistant to scratches and tarnishing. It also gives the silver a stunning, reflective finish that maintains its brilliance over time. This extra layer of protection ensures your jewellery remains as beautiful and timeless as the memories it holds. At Memories Made, every detail is designed with care, ensuring your piece is crafted to the highest standards of quality and beauty.

As part of your order, you’ll receive a free ring sizing kit along with your ashes kit. The ring sizing kit includes an easy-to-use ring sizer that you can place over your desired finger to determine the perfect fit. Simply complete the supplied ring sizing form with your measurements and return it to us along with your ashes using the free prepaid tracked returns label. Just pop it into any Royal Mail red post box, and it will be safely delivered to us. This ensures your ring is crafted to fit you perfectly.

Please note that not all jewellers work to the same ring dimensions that we do, so we highly recommend using our ring sizer for accuracy. Once our memorial ashes rings have been created, they cannot be resized without destroying the ashes setting, which is permanently and securely sealed inside the ring. Using our ring sizer ensures your piece is crafted exactly to your needs, preserving the integrity of this meaningful keepsake.

After placing your order, you will receive your free ashes kit, which includes a specially supplied scoop for measuring the ashes. For each piece of ashes jewellery ordered, we only require one scoop, ensuring that the process is simple and stress-free.

Yes, we absolutely can. We create keepsakes using items that hold sentimental value to you. Examples include sand from a beach where cherished memories were made, fabric from a loved one’s clothing, or even locks of hair to incorporate into the jewellery.

We’ve also had the honour of crafting keepsakes for deeply personal moments, such as incorporating fragments of pregnancy tests to memorialise a miscarriage. These meaningful items are treated with the utmost care and respect, ensuring the final piece is as special as the memories it represents.

Sometimes, customers don’t have any physical items to include, and that’s perfectly okay. In these cases, we can create a keepsake using resin, coloured to match a loved one’s birthstone or their favourite colour as a way to remember them.

The process is almost identical to our ashes jewellery. Once your order is placed, we send you a collection kit. If you’re providing inclusions such as hair or fabric, simply place them in the kit following the instructions. If you’d prefer a resin keepsake, let us know your chosen colour, and we’ll lovingly craft a piece that honours your memories beautifully.

Ashes jewellery starts at £149. This cost reflects the use of precious metals in crafting each piece, as well as the significant time, skill, and care required to create it. While our social media videos may give the impression that each piece takes only a few minutes to make, this is far from reality. The videos are heavily edited to keep them short and engaging for viewers, meaning most of the intricate and detailed work is removed from the final cut.

Creating ashes jewellery is a meticulous process that demands precision and care. Beyond the delicate process of incorporating ashes, we also engrave many pieces with personalised details and polish them to a mirror finish to ensure they shine with elegance. Each step requires a steady hand and an immense amount of patience to achieve perfection. If anything isn’t flawless, we simply won’t send it.

This dedication ensures that every piece we create not only honours the memory of your loved one but also serves as a beautiful and lasting tribute. It’s this commitment to quality and craftsmanship that makes each piece truly special.

Yes, absolutely. We can use pet cremation ashes to create beautiful and meaningful jewellery. Pets are such an incredibly special part of our lives, offering unconditional love, companionship, and countless cherished memories. Sadly, their time with us is far too short, but their impact on our hearts lasts a lifetime.

The ashes can be incorporated into a design of your choice, and you can even select a colour that reminds you of your pet’s personality or favourite things—like the colour of their collar, their favourite toy, or even the sparkle of their eyes.

We’re truly honoured to help preserve the bond between you and your beloved pet in a piece of jewellery that reflects their irreplaceable role in your life.

Yes, we can create jewellery using white gold, 9ct gold, or higher purity gold such as 18ct. Once we receive your ashes, the process takes approximately 5–6 weeks to complete. This timeframe allows us to carefully craft your piece and have it hallmarked at the Assay Office.

Hallmarking is not only a legal requirement but also a guarantee of quality and authenticity. It ensures that your jewellery has been made with the correct purity of solid gold, giving you complete peace of mind that your piece is genuine. The combination of precious metals and our meticulous craftsmanship results in a beautiful and meaningful keepsake that you can treasure forever.

Although we don’t currently have readily available listings on our website for purities higher than 9ct, or the ability to purchase white or rose gold directly, we can certainly accommodate these requests. Simply send us an email at enquiries@memoriesmade.co.uk, and we’ll be more than happy to assist you in creating your perfect piece.
