Rocky

My ashes ring was made in memory of my beloved pug Rocky. I’d had him from him being 13 weeks old and he passed away in January aged 13 years. He was/is my heart dog. He was always by my side and in the incredibly hard times he kept me alive when I wanted so badly to give up.

Missy

Missy came into my life at 6 months old and left very suddenly at 11. I cannot put into words what she meant to me, she was my best friend and so much more, she definitely rescued me. Learning to do life without her has been so hard, but I find comfort in having her with me and every time I look down at my hand and see my ring, I feel so full of the love she gave. Thank you so much for your kindness throughout the process, you are incredible people. ♡

Pebbles

My little kitty Pebbles. He was adorable and only 5 years old when he passed away in a cattery whilst I was on holiday. He was my best friend he was my little shadow. He had a fall and cut his leg and after numerous trips to vet with scans it was clear he had a single grass seed floating inside him which after numerous operations unfortunately his body gave up. Devastated. He left his brother behind but pebbles will forever be missed.

Sid

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.

Misty

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 Smith

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.

Papa

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.

Maggie

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
