Leo

Our beautiful son Leo was born at 29 weeks in September 2021 and passed away at 98 days of age, a few days after Christmas. I bought a leather bracelet with his footprint on it for his daddy, as there aren’t many options for men around (that aren’t rings). Our boy’s lungs never developed properly, and after fighting for 14 weeks his heart gave up and he passed in my arms, holding his daddy’s hand. We will miss him forever. It’s beautiful to have forever memories you can wear every day.

Laura's Dog

Hi, I had a pet nose keyring made by yourselves a few years ago and I’ve recently lost it. It was from my first pet dog, who I had when I was 7 years old, and he lived and grew up with me until he finally passed at the amazing age of 18! To say I’m devastated that I’ve lost it is an understatement.

Pippy

My dog Pippy – he was with us from 1 and a half years old until he was 13 and a half. He went from being a scared little doggy to the most loved and cherished part of our family. He was always there waiting for us as we walked through the door, ready to greet us, and even when he got old and deaf, he learned to feel the vibrations when we came in and would be ready for us.For the last year and a half of his life, he couldn't be left alone, so one of us was always with him, which makes it so much harder now he’s gone. This jewellery will hopefully make me feel he is still with me, as we all miss him so much.My favourite thing was the cuddles he gave us whenever we needed them—or when he did—he would place his head under our chin to snuggle in.

Noble

Noble, my dog, had been with me for 10 years through everything. I felt so lost when he passed away at home after a very short battle with lymphoma.

Grandad Ray

My Grandad Ray, he was a big male figure in my life and he died of cancer in 2016 surrounded by family. He was our everything.

Teddy

I have a heart necklace currently being made which contains my cat’s ash and fur. When he passed, he had just turned 6 years old. I had him since he was 6 weeks old. He was super friendly to everyone who came into the house – he was the first one to greet you. Teddy used to head bump you whenever he wasn’t getting any attention, hated being picked up but loved all the fuss. He received a blood transfusion from his brother over Easter weekend. He also had a bone marrow extraction, which led to the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukaemia, which is rare. Because of Teddy, I am raising awareness of feline blood donors in memory of him.

My lost baby ❤️ I lost a baby just before 12 weeks. This loss really impacted me, as I had recently given birth to twins, so to me this baby was my final baby. The ring I had made with the baby’s ashes is one of my most prized possessions.

Grandad

Grandad

I had a necklace made in memory of my grandad. He was my best friend and made a huge impact on my life when he left this world. He was the greatest joker around and always made all of his grandchildren laugh. He was lucky enough to become a great-grandad too when my son was born – they had a beautiful bond, and not a day goes by that we don’t think about him. Hand on Heart have made such a huge loss a lot more bearable with my lovely piece.

Max

I got a heart bracelet with my dog Max’s ashes in it. Max was my first dog, and I had always wanted to have a Labrador as a child, but had to wait until I was grown up to get him. For 12 years we shared so many adventures together, and he showed me true love. Saying goodbye to him was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and I knew I wanted to get something special to keep him with me. Having my bracelet means he can still be with me on my adventures with my other dogs and remain a part of my life.

Albie

My jewellery was made from my beautiful dog Albie’s ashes. He was my gorgeous six-year-old boy who had seen me through a separation, house move, divorce and numerous life obstacles – without a doubt my best friend. Then I tragically lost him after he became extremely poorly following a routine biopsy. I found Hand on Heart Jewellery quite quickly and just knew I had to have something. My son now points to my necklace and ring when I say “Albie”.
