Individually handmade to order in my Shropshire studio at Maws Craft Centre. Please allow approximately 4 weeks for production before dispatch.
Our Memorial Ashes Imprint Rectangle Cufflinks offer a tactile and subtle way to honour a loved one. Thoughtfully crafted in sterling silver or solid gold, each cufflink is individually created using your loved one’s ashes to form a direct imprint onto the surface of the precious metal.
This process creates a softly textured, moon-like finish, making every pair entirely unique. Rather than enclosing the ashes within the piece, the imprint forms part of the metal itself — resulting in a discreet yet deeply meaningful tribute, perfectly suited for everyday wear or significant occasions.
For a final personal touch, a short message can be engraved on the reverse of each cufflink, including your own handwriting for even deeper meaning.
Once we receive your order, we will send you a simple kit to collect a small amount of your loved one’s cremation ashes. The kit contains a biodegradable sealable bag and spoon, allowing you to gather the ashes with care and dignity.
We require approximately one teaspoon of ashes per item ordered. Only a small amount of ashes will be used, and all unused ashes will be carefully returned to you along with your finished pieces.
For your convenience, a return envelope is provided. Please note that return postage is not included. To ensure the ashes reach us safely, we strongly recommend using Royal Mail Special Delivery when sending memorial ashes.
This design can feature a short personalised message on the back of each cufflink. Choose from the below font options, or provide your own handwriting to be engraved.
For handwritten messages, its best to limit to 1 word or initials owing to space limitations. Remember to e-mail a photo of your handwriting to studio@holduponheart.co.uk after ordering, together with your order number.
Each piece is individually made to order in our Shropshire studio by our goldsmith, Melanie — a designer-maker with over a decade of experience creating meaningful memorial jewellery.
Our stated production time begins from the date we receive your ashes and reflects the care and craftsmanship involved in creating your piece. During particularly busy periods, this timeframe may vary slightly.
If you need your jewellery by a specific date within the estimated timeframe, please leave a note in the “Note to the studio” box at checkout and we will always do our best to accommodate you.
Once your jewellery is ready to dispatch, we’ll email to let you know. All orders are sent with signature required on delivery.
