This piece is entirely handmade to order in my Shropshire studio. Please allow approximately 3-4 weeks for your jewellery to be carefully made before dispatch.
This beautiful Memorial Ashes Torque Bangle features a tactile ashes imprint charm, creating a subtle way to remember a loved one. Handmade by me from sterling silver in my Shropshire studio, I use your loved one's memorial ashes to imprint a unique texture directly into the precious metal, creating a beautiful moon-like finish. Because every imprint is created by hand, no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
By using the ashes to create a direct impression in the silver, rather than enclosing them inside the jewellery, the result is a discreet tribute that's perfect for everyday wear. I can also engrave a short personalised message on the back of the charm, or even reproduce your own handwriting for an even more personal keepsake.
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, allowing you to select the postal service you feel most comfortable using.
This design can feature a short personalised message on the back. Choose from the below font options, or provide your own handwriting to be engraved.
For handwritten messages, its best to limit to 1-2 words max to ensure legibility of the engraving. 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 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.
