Individually made to order in my Shropshire studio at Maws Craft Centre. Please allow approximately 4–6 weeks for production before dispatch.
Our Memorial Ashes Heart Hammmered Ring is a tactile, solid piece, featuring a gently hammered band with a heart shaped bezel containing your memorial ashes. Handmade here in Shropshire in sterling silver or solid 9ct gold, its a truly beautiful way to keep a loved one close.
You can personalise your ring by selecting from 11 beautiful colour options, with the choice of adding crushed opal for a luminous, iridescent sparkle, or opting for a smooth flat colour finish with a subtle shimmer.
You may also further personalised your ring with an engraved message on the inside of the ring band - we can even engrave your own handwritten message if you wish.
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.
We offer a choice of 11 beautiful colours, each available either with crushed opal or as a simple flat colour finish.
Adding crushed opal creates a stunning iridescent effect, as the tiny opal fragments catch the light and reveal flashes of rainbow colour. Our flat colours offer a more understated elegance, with a soft shimmer created by the pearl powder used to tint the resin.

This design will feature ashes hidden beneath the colour layer.
This design can feature a short personalised message on the inside of the ring. Choose from the below font options, or provide your own handwriting to be engraved.
For handwritten messages, its best to limit to 2-3 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 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.
