OUR JEWELLERY
  • January 24, 2024 2 min read

    We sadly lost our fur-ball Maud this month, she'd made it to the fine old age of 18 so it was anticipated, but still made me feel very sad - after all, she's been by my side for all of my adult life. Now I have made literally thousands of pieces of memorial jewellery, and am well aware of how precious it is to the wearer and the comfort it brings, but it's probably the first time I have experienced this need for comfort myself, since I began making jewellery 12 years ago anyway. I can't lie, even though my girl was very old and we knew it was coming, I was still a teary mess most of last week, and I found myself really wanting to have something to make me feel close to her still. We hadn't received her ashes back at that point so I found myself in my studio making this ring. I haven't taken it off since.

    We have since received her ashes and I have incorporated them in this necklace. The labradorite stone had been floating about the studio for months, so it was nice to finally have an idea as to what to make with it. The stone radiates different colours under the light, which you can't really see in the photo. A small pinch of Maud's ashes are sealed within the black resin heart on the clasp of the necklace, and the back of the stone features a cut-out silhouette of her, gazing at the stars.

    Now this isn't an everyday necklace, so I am doodling away in my sketchbook trying to come up with some ideas more suited to wear daily, but I do love working with these large stones and making a real statement piece. I think the next few months will see a few more pet memorial designs entering the HuH collections, and for that we will have Maud to thank! x
