Natasha's Mum

I lost my mum quickly and unexpectedly to cancer in February 2024. She was my best friend and the most important person in my entire life. I was only 24, so I felt like I had no idea how to continue my life without her. I got a necklace made with her ashes, and now I will never feel alone again. It brings me so much comfort knowing that she will be with me (literally) 24/7 for the rest of my life. The piece of jewellery I picked out was something she would have loved to wear herself, so I know that if she could see it, she would love it. I could never thank Hand on Heart Jewellery enough for the gentle care of my beloved mum’s ashes and the beautiful necklace that was created.

Geoff

Our jewellery was made in memory of our dad, Geoff. Both my sister and I have some jewellery in his memory. I could say he was the best dad ever and our childhood was glorious. However, like all of us, he was flawed and made mistakes. But what he gave us was life. With that life, he instilled in us a sense of fairness and what was right, how people and family were everything. He gave us stories, music and literature, and opened our eyes to a world we could only imagine. Most of all though, he gave us love – unending, unconditional love without judgement. So, thanks Geoff. You were the best dad ever, and we can never thank you enough for being our dad. Forever your girls, Molly and Ella xxx

Bella

Bella – the most beautifully loving and loyal pug.

- Katie O

Girl with long light brown hair smiling at camera. She has brown eyes and eyebrows. In the background is a restaurant, colours of blue and red.

Amelie

I had three rings made using the ashes of our darling daughter, Amelie. She was very sadly diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour at the age of 14. She underwent two rounds of palliative radiotherapy but lost her battle with this cancer 15 months after her diagnosis. She was beautiful, strong and fiercely independent, and it is a terrible tragedy. The rings – for myself (her mum), her younger sister and her Nana – ensure that she is always with us and remind us every day of her spirit and the love we had for her.

Piper

My cat Piper – she was my best friend, always there with unconditional love and cuddles. She was always close to me, so that’s why I wanted her close to me always with this jewellery.

Nicola's Dad

With my dad’s ashes, I chose a teardrop pendant. From start to finish, the process was so professional. When my pendant arrived, I was so overwhelmed at how beautiful the quality was and how gorgeous it looked. Thank you so much.

My necklace was made using my dog Bella’s ashes. She was the first dog we had as our own (we’d had dogs when living with our parents). She was beautiful.

- Emma Murray

White dog with curly fur, black eyes and nose. Dog is laid on a black wicker outdoor chair.

Olly

I wear my teardrop necklace in memory of my beloved little Bichon named Olly. He was my first little dog, and he was so special to me and my husband. He was like our little furry boy, as we didn’t have children together. We also have another little Bichon called Murfy – they were always together, and Murfy misses his little friend too. It gives me great comfort that Olly can be close to me all the time I’m wearing it. He will always be in my heart, and I will definitely do the same for Murfy when his time comes. My little boys will always be loved and close to me.
