Surrounded by the beautiful Shropshire countryside and a trio of boys, Melanie created Hold upon Heart in 2012 with the aim of offering a stand-out collection of highly personalised memorial jewellery, including ashes, fingerprints, handprints and footprints and pet's pawprints, all capturing your cherished moments & telling your family's story. After all, our stories are what make us...
Our Paws & Presence collection contains a selection of beautiful pet memorial jewellery made using your pets own paw-prints, hair and cremation ashes. We can also make any of our handprint jewellery designs with a pawprint, and any of our ashes designs are suitable for pet ashes.
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.
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.
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.
Hold Upon Heart is a small, independent business creating beautiful, made-to-order jewellery and gifts in the Ironbridge Gorge, Shropshire.

With a five-star reputation and a hands-on, personal approach, you can trust us to care for your family’s most precious memories.
