Nan

My Nan. She was my best friend. We lost her in 2022, and with the money she had left us, I got a necklace made with her ashes in it, so she can carry on going on lots of adventures with me, just like we used to whilst she was here! Miss you so much, Nan❤️

Lynn's Dogs

We lost our first 2 family furbabies within a year of each other. One completely unexpectedly and the other we had to help across the rainbow bridge. We were devastated. I now have 2 bracelet charms made from their fur in the colours of their collars and leads. They will be forever with me ❤️

Stacey's Nan

My beautiful jewellery is in memory of my special Nan. I miss her so dearly. She was a true spirit who didn’t care what anyone thought of her, and she always made me laugh with her witty humour especially when she’d slide me £20 notes like it was for drugs 😂. She used to tell me I was her favourite, but that I wasn’t allowed to tell the others. I hope I make her proud when I fight for what the children need at school. I wear my necklace to every meeting, holding her close, and I know she gives me the strength to stand up to everyone. I miss her every single day and would do anything for one more sloppy kiss and hug. She was more than just my Nan, she meant the absolute world to me.

Dad

I lost my amazing dad, my world, my best friend in January, only five months after he became ill. It broke my heart in ways I never thought possible, the pain was unreal. I needed a way to always have him with me, to be able to hold him when I needed comfort, just as I always had when he was here. That’s when I turned to Hand on Heart. Having a necklace that’s always with me brings a little bit of comfort, knowing that my dad is still in my heart and I can hold him again. Thank you for giving me a beautiful piece of my life back.

Paddy, we adopted him from Manchester Dogs Home when he was eight weeks old. He left us for Rainbow Bridge when he was 14. He saw me through the loss of my dad and my cousin and best friend, I still miss him even though we now have two new fur babies.
