In the summer of 2012, surrounded by the beautiful Shropshire countryside, Melanie created Hold upon Heart with the aim of offering a unique collection of highly personalised jewellery.
Capturing everything from your loved one's cremation ashes to unique fingerprints, your children’s hand and footprints to your pet’s pawprints, your hand-written messages and doodles to your favourite family snapshots, our jewellery is designed to truly tell your story.
and the love we experienced as parents, that inspired us to begin making jewellery. Our children have grown, our story evolved, but we continue to pour love into each and every piece we make.
Rich in sentiment, central to each piece of jewellery we create is a feeling or memory, a moment of parenthood or celebration and remembrance of a loving relationship, turned into something tangible and beautiful, to wear and enjoy forever. We use a mixture of traditional fabrication techniques, ultra modern technology and quality craftsmanship, to ensure our jewellery will be worn and enjoyed for a lifetime.
Our jewellery is created in our Maws Craft Centre workshop, in the heart of the historical Ironbridge Gorge. Every single piece passes through our hands and receives the utmost of care and attention to detail. From the early stage drawings, to the hands on hammering and sawing of precious metal, to the mysterious art of polishing, to the careful hand packaging. We may take a little longer to craft our pieces because of this, but it ensures you get the makers skill and love each and every time you order.
