Sarah's Mum

My beautiful ring was made in honour of my beautiful Mum. Her favourite colour was red, and she will forever be in my heart. I feel so much comfort from wearing my ring, and I know she is always with me.

Connie

Connie, our beautiful Daughter. Connie was born in January 2025 and when she was 2 weeks old, we discovered she had a life-limiting mitochondrial disease. She died when she was 4 weeks old. Connie's fight was so brave and graceful she never looked sick, until the very end. Her strength inspires us to keep going and look after her older Sister, Phoebe. I wear my necklace with her hand and foot print, every single day. I wear it with pride, and it helps me feel close to her. Thank you to everyone at 'Hand on Heart Jewellery' for making such a special item to keep forever 🤍.

David

I had a special ring in memory of my Dad, David. My Dad was the ultimate family man. Everything he did, he did for us. He was there whenever we needed picking up, cheering on,  and fixing things. He was just there for us. He was our biggest supporter. A few years ago, he was diagnosed with dementia, and slowly he started to lose himself. He wasn’t able to do the things he loved anymore, and it broke him and left us heartbroken. But he fought, he laughed, he spent time with us all, holidays, days out, family meals, he was still there for us. In January, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and he died just 9 weeks later. It’s left such a massive hole in our family. I wanted something made that I could carry with me, I wanted to keep him close, I wanted him to still be a part of our everyday life, and so that I could take him places with us. The ring you created for me is beautiful beyond my expectations, and it’s something I can pass on to my daughter as she grows up. I can’t thank you enough, because of you, my dad is still with me every day, and I absolutely love it.

Eddie

My Granddad, Eddie. He was truly the greatest man you could meet. His passion was baking, having owned his own bakery for over 30 years. He always knew what to say to cheer me up, and the world is a darker place without him. I love you, Grumps! X

Jack

This necklace was made in memory of my beautiful little brother, Jack. Jack was the light in every room. He made me laugh without even trying. He was made for the stage. Everyone needed a Jack in their life. The most caring soul, and even at the age of 17, taught me to look for the good in everyone. We shared a bond that I miss dearly every day, and this necklace makes me feel like I carry a piece of him everywhere I go. I don’t just live for me anymore, I live for us both.

Ozzy

My memorial ring was made for myself, containing the ashes of my dog Ozzy. People say you always have that one special dog, you love all of your pets, but there's that one extra special one, and Ozzy was just that. He grew up with our Daughter, so his loss was extra difficult. He came on every adventure with us, our favourite place being Cumbria. Cumbria will always hold an extra special place in our hearts because of Ozzy. I've got a few pieces from Hand On Heart (Ozzy's paw print on a necklace being one of them). So there was never any doubt that I would be having Ozzys ashes in a ring from Hand On Heart when the time came. I chose to have them set in Black to match Ozzy's shiny black coat, and my ring definitely shines just like Ozzy did. Going back to Cumbria since losing Ozzy has been made that little bit easier knowing he's still there with us, within my ring.
