Understanding Our Memorial Jewellery Process
Creating memorial jewellery is a deeply personal experience, and we understand that many customers feel nervous about sending precious ashes or hair away for the first time. At our Burbage studio, we aim to make the process as simple, respectful, and reassuring as possible from beginning to end.
Choosing Between Resin or Clay Memorial Jewellery
When designing your memorial jewellery, one of the first decisions is whether you’d prefer a resin or clay finish.
Our resin memorial jewellery creates a smooth, glass-like appearance, allowing ashes or hair to be beautifully preserved within the design. Resin can be customised with a wide range of colours, shimmer effects, and even Diamond Dust to create something completely personal.
Clay memorial jewellery offers a softer, more natural appearance. The ashes are blended into specialist clay to create a subtle and understated finish, perfect for customers looking for a timeless and elegant style.
We’ll guide you through both options and help you choose the style that feels right for you.
Custom Colour Selection
Every memorial jewellery piece is handmade to order, meaning you can personalise the colours and finishes to reflect your loved one, a favourite colour, birthstone shades, or simply a design you’ll feel comfortable wearing every day.
Customers often choose:
-
Soft neutrals and pearl tones
-
Blues, greens, and birthstone colours
-
Opalescent shimmer finishes
-
Diamond Dust or subtle sparkle
-
Classic clear resin finishes
We’re always happy to discuss custom ideas during the design process.
Our Ashes and Hair Collection Kits
For customers unable to visit our Burbage studio in person, we provide simple collection kits to safely return ashes or hair to us.
Each kit includes:
-
Clearly labelled secure containers
-
Instructions for safely packaging contents
-
A return envelope

Information about the process and turnaround times
Only a very small amount of ashes or hair is needed to create your jewellery, and any unused material is carefully returned with your completed order.
Safe and Respectful Handling in Our Burbage Studio
We know how important trust is when creating memorial jewellery.
All ashes and hair received in our Burbage studio are handled individually and with the utmost care and respect throughout the entire process. Each order is carefully labelled, securely stored, and worked on separately to ensure complete accuracy and peace of mind.
We treat every memorial piece as if it were for our own family, understanding the emotional significance behind every order we create.
Handmade Memorial Jewellery Created with Care
Whether you choose a memorial ring, pendant, bracelet, or charm, every piece is handcrafted with compassion and attention to detail.
Our goal is to create jewellery that not only preserves memories, but also brings comfort and connection for years to come.
If you’re considering memorial jewellery and would like to discuss your ideas, we’re always here to help guide you through the process gently and personally.
