PRECIOUS MEMORIES

Hold Upon Heart creates handcrafted Memorial Jewellery, Fingerprint Jewellery and Baby Keepsake Jewellery, designed to capture the people, moments and memories that matter most. Every piece is lovingly made by me, Melanie, an independent goldsmith working from my studio in the beautiful Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire. For more than 14 years I've specialised in creating handmade memorial jewellery and deeply personal keepsakes that celebrate lives, preserve memories and tell unique stories - one pair of hands carefully crafting every piece from start to finish.

Entirely self-taught, I've poured my heart and soul into refining my craft. Whether preserving a loved one's fingerprint, a pinch of cremation ashes, a baby's tiny handprint or footprint, or a beloved pet's pawprint, every piece is individually handcrafted by me with exceptional care and attention to detail.

With thousands of happy customers around the world and collections including charms, necklaces, lockets, bracelets, rings, cufflinks and keyrings, you'll discover meaningful keepsakes you simply won't find anywhere else. Every design is created to honour the memories that matter most, so you can feel completely confident that your precious memories are in safe and caring hands.

We have five distinct collections of memorial ashes jewellery, each offering a beautiful range of rings, necklaces, bracelets, charms and cufflinks. Our handmade Encaptured Collection and our hand-finished Stardust Collection both allow ashes or hair to be carefully preserved within beautiful coloured resin, creating a personal keepsake that is uniquely yours. For something more subtle, our handmade Echoes and Secrets Collections incorporate ashes in discreet and understated ways, keeping their precious meaning known only to you. Finally, our Vessels Collection offers a small selection of self-fill stainless steel memorial jewellery, designed to hold a tiny amount of ashes inside. You can find out more about our Memorial Ashes Jewellery and our making process here.
