The HoH Memorial Wall

I got a purple heart necklace for my daughter, Kelsie. She sadly lost her life at only 8 years old due to a rare reaction to a cold, where the virus attacked her heart.

Kelsie had such a huge impact on my life. She was the most determined, smart, and beautiful girl, the happiest person I’ve ever met. She taught me patience and was my strength.

As my middle child, she lived up to it — stubborn and mischievous, but so funny with it that I’d struggle to keep a straight face when telling her off.

The thing I’ve noticed most in these last 6 months without her is her smile and laugh. She had the kind of smile that instantly made you smile back, and her crackly laugh would have you giggling along, even when you weren’t meant to because she was being cheeky.

My amazing Nan passed away in March at the wonderful age of 92. I feel so incredibly lucky to have had her in my life for almost 34 years and to have nothing but love and beautiful memories. She is missed so much every single day, and I can’t wait for my jewellery to arrive so that a tiny part of her can be close to me forever.

My ring was made with my dog’s ashes. He was 14 and a half, and I had him from when he was just 8 weeks old. He was my best friend and got me through some really difficult times in my life. Later, he became the best big brother to my three boys. We all miss him dearly, but my ring ensures he is always with me. xx

I had some cufflinks made for my son, who is getting married in November, using his grandad’s ashes. His grandad was like a dad to him. I gave them to my son on what would have been my dad’s 98th birthday last December — it was a very emotional time.

My mum — my biggest cheerleader and best friend. My necklace with her fingerprint and handwriting is always with me.

My memorial ring was made for my beautiful girl, Willow (I believe Chloe made my ring). She was our 5-year-old German Shepherd who sadly passed away earlier this year from a really aggressive, incurable cancer. She was our absolute world, and we tried everything to give her the longest and best quality of life — we even sent samples to America to try experimental treatment options, but heartbreakingly she passed away just two days after they began analysing them.

I’ve found so much comfort in wearing my ring every day, knowing that she is always with me. We have recently welcomed a new puppy, who is bringing us so much joy. Her little German Shepherd mannerisms remind us of Willow and are helping us to smile again.

Thank you for the work you do. I can imagine it must often be very emotional, but please know you are bringing so much comfort to people. Your jewellery is a truly beautiful way to hold on to precious memories. x

My necklace was made in memory of my beautiful mum, who passed away in 2023. She was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2021 and lived with this cruel illness for two years. It slowly took away her freedom to walk, her ability to do the simplest of daily tasks, and eventually, even her voice. Through it all, Mum was so brave and always kept a positive outlook, despite everything she faced.

Mum was the heart of our family, and it’s still so hard to adjust to life without her. I chose the red resin oval necklace, as red was her favourite colour and she was always known for wearing her red lippy (the photo I treasure most is of her at my wedding, topping up her lipstick 😂). I also had her handwriting engraved on the back, which makes it even more special.

I wear this necklace every single day. It brings me comfort to know she is always with me. Thank you so much for creating such beautiful memorial jewellery. xx

This was made for my cat Misty whom I had for over 18 years

My wonderful parents. My dad died just before the first lockdown when I was 28. I was a daddy’s girl from day one – he was the most supportive and caring person, always making us laugh. He even kept my mum smiling at every one of her chemo appointments and was always there for my children. A little while later, my mum passed away and joined my dad in heaven. They were soulmates and destined to always be together. She was my biggest cheerleader, my best friend, and now my guardian angel.

My parents were always there to hold my hand and guide me through life. I now have both of their handprints on my necklace, close to my heart. Even though they are in heaven, I can still hold their hands, and my children can feel their handprints too.

My dad, Michael. He was a huge part of my life – we were a team. We did everything together: we laughed, cried and sat in silence. I feel like a part of me left with him when he passed in January. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about him. Having a piece of jewellery from yourselves with his ashes in has given me so much comfort. It feels like he’s with me all the time, although it still hurts knowing he’s not physically here with me to see me grow more as a person and to watch me have my own family.
