Kane

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.

Bramble

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.

Caitlin's Dad

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🤍

Ben

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.

Vern

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.

Skye

For my soul dog, Skye. She was my whole world and I am completely lost without her. The mountains were her happy place and I can now continue to carry her with me on every adventure.

Lot

I sadly had to make the decision to put my horse, Lot, to sleep in November 2024. After receiving back her ashes, I decided I wanted a keepsake to ensure I have her with me wherever I go 🤍 I chose a ring from Hand on Heart, and it is just stunning. Thank you so much for producing such lovely jewellery for us to treasure 🤍

Benji

My furry forever pal Benji saved me from many a dark day due to my mental health getting out of that dark hole I was in. No words can explain how much we miss him as a family. My heart has been torn in two, but with my beautiful bracelet, I feel he is forever with me.

Love you Benji xxx🐾🐾💔

Dexter

Dexter, our beloved furry boy.
He never failed to make us smile every single day of the 10 years and 3 months he was with us. He came to us as a tiny bundle of fluff and grew into a handsome boy. His eyes were the first thing we fell in love with.

He loved his holibobs with us. We took him everywhere — Scotland, the Isle of Skye, Cornwall, Kent, Yorkshire, Northumberland, Wales, and our favourite place of all, the Lake District.

He was taken from us so suddenly by a devastating immune illness. Within just 12 hours, we had to make that terrible, heartbreaking decision to let him go. To say he is missed is a definite understatement.

Finding HoH Jewellery through a Google search felt like it was meant to be. The fact that you're based in Cumbria was the icing on the cake.

The teardrop necklace I chose is the most precious item I own. I wear it every day, knowing and feeling that our boy is with me all the time.

Thank you so much for making this special piece for me. I will be forever grateful and thankful to you all.

Karen's Parents

My beautiful necklace was made to remember my lovely parents, who both lost their battles with cancer last year, less than 3 months apart.

Completely devastating. I cherish my memories and my necklace.

Thank you so much.

We shared so many adventures together, climbing hills and mountains, making memories I’ll cherish forever.

Thank you so much.
