I lost my little pug, Sid, in December just a few days before Christmas. Despite him being 13, it was sudden and unexpected, I have felt completely lost without him so to have his ashes in a ring means a lot to me that I can now keep a little piece of him with me every day. Thank you to everyone at Hand on Heart for making such a beautiful piece of jewellery for me.

I had a necklace made in memory of my beautiful dog Misty, we got her as a puppy and she was 13 years old when she passed. Loosing Misty left a big hole in my heart and I miss her every day, we did so much together and she was their for me during the happy times and the sad times, she was a constant in my life. Wearing this necklace makes me feel safe like there's a little bit of her with me protecting me and loving me.

Stacey Groves then, for just 2 days in life, Stacey Smith. But forever in our hearts. Stacey was, is & will be, the greatest chapter of my life. But I want her to have been the entire story of it, not just Chapter One. Stacey demonstrated patience, selflessness, empathy, courageousness & love. Her fight & victory with cancer first time round fills me with pride. She is my hero.

My ring was in memory of my grandad, or Papa as we called him. He was 93 when he died, though you wouldn’t have known it. He was so full of life and was the best grandad, dad and husband anyone could ask for. Growing up, I have so many incredible memories of the time he spent with me painting or reading among other things. His greatest gift to us was his time - true, devoted, quality time. We are forever grateful for that, and rest assured, he will never be forgotten.

My lovely husband, Tim

Necklaces to remember my beautiful dog Maggie are being made currently for me and my daughter. Maggie was an incredibly special dog who grew up with my children perfectly fitting the staffie reputation of being a nannie dog. Maggie went everywhere with the children. Watched over them while they played in the garden, showed the puppies in our family the correct way to behave and always had the utmost respect for humans even though her first experience with humans wasn’t a positive one. Maggie will always have a special place in my heart and with the necklaces will always be with me. Thank you

My Dad, Kane. My Dad loved his music, he had such a big collection of CDs, Vinyl and thousands upon thousands of songs on his iTunes. When I was 8 I begged my parents if I could have piano lessons and my love for music began. I went onto play piano before moving onto saxophone and clarinet in recent years. My Dad was always so proud of me for learning my musical instruments and always amazed at the fact if I wanted to learn a new instrument I or he would buy it and I would have learnt something on it within a week or so. He would watch me practice and smile so much. We would always share our passion for music by discussing what songs we liked, what solos we enjoyed, or what new song we had heard on the radio. I lost my Dad unexpectedly in October 2024 and I just knew I needed something created in his memory as he should still be here with everyone. I couldn’t be more grateful to Hand on Heart who have provided me with the most beautiful finger print necklace that also has my Dads handwriting on the back. My childhood nickname, and stuck with me to my current age of 27, is Tiger and to see that engraved on the back in my Dads handwriting means a lot to me. I wear my necklace all the time, especially when I am practising my musical instruments that way my Dad is always still with me and hearing me practice. Being able to feel his fingerprint when I need my Dads comfort means so much to me because it feels like he is holding my hand. Thank you so much Hand on Heart, I am so touched at how beautiful my necklace is.

I had my amazing memorial ring made with Bramble's ashes. She was the most beautiful, funny and loving girl that absolutely adored people. For much of her life it was just me and her and losing her was one of the hardest things I've been and continue to go through as she really did feel like my reward in life and everything I did revolved around her. Receiving my ring was a such a comfort. Not only is it stunning but I now have a little part of her with me everywhere I go.

I had a fingerprint necklace made for me and my mum In memory of my amazing Dad who suddenly passed away in November 2023, not a day goes by that we don’t think about him, he was the most selfless caring person who truly would do anything for anyone, there are no words to describe how much he is missed, he really is the loss of our lives but having a piece of him with me everyday gives me such comfort🤍

We lost our beautiful Golden Retriever 23 years ago, and I've never felt ready to let him go. We adopted Ben when he was 5 years old and had him for 9 incredible years. He was such a beautiful soul, and loved us as much as we loved him. Miss him every day, but Hand on Heart enabled us to carry him with us every day. Which is what Ben loved the most - just being with his family.

My ring was made in memory of Vern my cat. I picked him up at 7 weeks old and loved him every second of every day for the next 17 years through all life’s amazing ups and dreadful downs. You can’t prepare for the day you have to say goodbye and I’ve never felt a pain like it, but having my ring made to wear every day repairs a tiny bit of my broken heart.
