My husband, Geoff, is the absolute love of my life. Geoff had polycystic kidney disease all of his life. He worked hard doing a really physical job, although he would be in pain; he never complained. 5 years ago, he medically retired due to the chronic illness that finally beat him, and we started his dialysis journey again without complaint. He eventually was given the gift of life from a courageous family in the form of a kidney transplant. We are forever grateful to our unknown hero. Tragically, an accident gave him his angel wings at the age of 62. I had a necklace and a ring made with his ashes, which helps me feel him close to me still.

Buddy, a much-loved dog who is very sadly missed by us all.

Cassius, my protector. You found me when I was struggling. You saved me. You fought cancer, a stroke, dementia and a weakened heart towards the end, but you gave your everything. Almost 15 years old, you were my constant companion for 13 of those. I didn't want to let you go, but you let me know it was time. Hand in paw to the end, at home with those who loved you. My heart is broken, but I can now hold you close in my locket. Forever with me.

My lovely Pops. The first man I ever loved and the one who always loved me unconditionally. Supporting me quietly through all my life choices - the good, the bad and the ugly Xx

Willow, my Cat. She was the most gorgeous little girl you could wish for. A little rescue that was nervous when she first arrived, but soon realised what it was like to be loved. Unfortunately, she had a very short life of only 6 years and was discovered having a fit in the street. To this day, I don’t know who found her and took her to the vets, and for that I am grateful. My companion, my little girl.

Tom West. Our amazing son and brother lost this year. He was about to start work as a forestry manager re forestry in Northern Ireland. Our life has lost joy and colour. I ordered cufflinks for his brother and a necklace for myself. Tom can be part of our future, travelling with us until we are reunited.

My necklace and bracelet are in memory of Jeffrey, my 3 year old Frenchie, who we lost a year ago in January. I hand-reared him from a day old, as he had a cleft palate, but got diagnosed with kidney problems at 6 months old. I thought I’d have so much longer with him, but he declined so fast in January 2025, a week in the hospital, and we had to let him go. I’ll never forget the sigh of relief he did when he went to sleep forever. I miss him every day.

My necklace is beautiful, it brings me closer to my mum. She was my best friend, and the gap she has left in my heart is filled by this beautiful piece of jewellery. Thank you so much for your outstanding craftsmanship.

Charli came into my life just before things got very tough. She saw me through everything, often being the one thing that kept me going. To lose her at 14 years old was like losing my purpose. But I was truly blessed for those 14 years with the smartest but naughtiest dog in the world! I’ll love you forever my best girl. My beautiful necklace means you are right next to my heart always ❤️

I’ve had a necklace made for me from my beautiful mum’s ashes, as she suddenly and very unexpectedly passed away aged 55. I received the necklace yesterday and words can’t explain how much comfort it’s provided me on my grief journey having part of her with me always. I’m now try to live life the best I can for the loved ones who are no longer here, and she will always be with me. She was and always will be my home and my safe space and I hope to do her proud 🤍 Thank you so much, Donna, for creating my beautiful necklace and to the whole team for handling something so special to so many people x
