This piece is entirely handmade to order in my Shropshire studio. Please allow approximately 4–6 weeks for your jewellery to be carefully made before dispatch.
Keep their spirit close with our handcrafted Angel Wing Memorial Ashes Charm. Carefully made to hold a tiny portion of cremation ashes, this delicate wing represents love that transcends, comfort in times of loss, and the feeling that they are always watching over you.
You can personalise your charm by selecting from 14 crushed opal colour options, which have that beautiful iridescent sparkle, or from our pearlescent flat white or flat black colour options. You may also choose whether the ashes are placed above the colour layer so they remain visible, or beneath it for a more discreet finish.
For a final personal touch, a short personalised message can be engraved on the back of the charm, we can even engrave your own handwriting for even deeper meaning.
Please note: Charm supplied with a jumpring (to thread onto a chain) as standard. Chains can be added at additional cost below.
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 14 beautiful crushed opal colours. The opal creates a stunning iridescent effect, as the tiny fragments catch the light and reveal flashes of rainbow colour. We also offer a flat black and flat white colour, which has a subtle pearlescent shimmer for a more understated look.

You can also choose whether your loved one’s ashes are set beneath the colour layer or placed above it so they remain visible. This is entirely a personal choice. However, if you select an opal finish, the sparkle and colour flashes of the opal are often more noticeable when the ashes are positioned beneath the colour layer.

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 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.
