TURNING MEMORIES INTO
MEMORIAL JEWELLERY
SINCE 2012
MORE THAN JEWELLERY
We create beautifully crafted memorial jewellery, designed to preserve life’s most precious moments.
Our collections of Ashes Jewellery, Fingerprint Jewellery and Handprint Jewellery are lovingly handmade in Shropshire, UK, using sterling silver and solid gold. Whether holding a loved one’s cremation ashes, capturing the unique detail of a fingerprint, or preserving a baby’s delicate handprint or footprint - or a cherished pet’s pawprint - our jewellery is individually made to order, to keep them close, always.
Our carefully considered collections include fingerprint, handprint and ashes charms, necklaces, bracelets, rings, keyrings and cufflinks - each piece a refined expression of love. Designed with quiet significance and crafted to last, this is jewellery created to hold your memories forever.
We have four distinct collections of memorial ashes jewellery, each incorporating rings, charms, necklaces, bracelets and cufflinks. Lots of our designs are also suitable for incorporating hair.

Our new carefully curated collection of Stainless Steel fingerprint, handprint and pawprint jewellery is designed to be durable and affordable, perfect for thoughtful gifting and everyday wear.
PROVIDING ASHES
We only require a small pinch of cremation ashes to create your memorial jewellery.
After you place your order, we will send a simple collection kit containing a wooden spoon and a sealable bag, so you can gather the ashes easily at home. We ask for approximately one teaspoon of ashes per piece of ashes jewellery ordered, although only a small amount is used in the making of each item. Any unused ashes are returned to you with your finished jewellery.
Each piece of cremation ashes jewellery is made individually, with the greatest of care. To ensure the integrity of each piece, ashes are handled separately throughout the making process.
PROVIDING PRINTS
ORDER A PRINT KIT
At Hold Upon Heart, we’re experts at creating beautiful jewellery from fingerprints, handprints, footprints and pawprints, but you might be wondering how you actually capture your prints.
The good news is that we can work with prints you already have, or we can send you a simple, easy-to-use print kit so you can take them at home. If you’re short on time, we can also work with photos of all types of print - as long as you can zoom in and see detail, we can use it.
HOW TO ORDER

Hold Upon Heart is a small, independent business creating beautiful, made-to-order jewellery and gifts in the Ironbridge Gorge, Shropshire, UK.

With a five-star reputation and a hands-on, personal approach, you can trust us to care for your family’s most precious memories.
NEW MEMORIAL JEWELLERY DESIGNS
There is something special about coming up with new designs, its probably my favourite part of what I do. Each piece begins at the bench here in our Shropshire workshop, shaped slowly by hand, with care in every detail.

I’m Melanie — the maker behind Hold Upon Heart. It’s a small, deeply personal jewellery business built around family, love, memory, and all the little details that matter more than we often realise...
MOLTEN MEMORIES - NEW FINGERPRINT JEWELLERY DESIGNS
There’s something quietly powerful about jewellery that embraces imperfection — pieces shaped not by rigid design, but by movement, heat, and the unpredictability of nature itself. That’s exactly the spirit behind our new Molten Fingerprint pieces.
