Grandad

Grandad

I had a necklace made in memory of my grandad. He was my best friend and made a huge impact on my life when he left this world. He was the greatest joker around and always made all of his grandchildren laugh. He was lucky enough to become a great-grandad too when my son was born – they had a beautiful bond, and not a day goes by that we don’t think about him. Hand on Heart have made such a huge loss a lot more bearable with my lovely piece.

Max

I got a heart bracelet with my dog Max’s ashes in it. Max was my first dog, and I had always wanted to have a Labrador as a child, but had to wait until I was grown up to get him. For 12 years we shared so many adventures together, and he showed me true love. Saying goodbye to him was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and I knew I wanted to get something special to keep him with me. Having my bracelet means he can still be with me on my adventures with my other dogs and remain a part of my life.

Albie

My jewellery was made from my beautiful dog Albie’s ashes. He was my gorgeous six-year-old boy who had seen me through a separation, house move, divorce and numerous life obstacles – without a doubt my best friend. Then I tragically lost him after he became extremely poorly following a routine biopsy. I found Hand on Heart Jewellery quite quickly and just knew I had to have something. My son now points to my necklace and ring when I say “Albie”.

Carla's Dog

I had my necklace made in memory of my dog, he was my best friend and was always by my side.

Sulaymaan

My necklace was made with the hand and footprint of my son Sulaymaan, who was born 10 weeks early and fought an 8-week battle against his genetic disease like a little lion. However, he got tired and had to leave for Heaven. My sisters gifted me the necklace a couple of months after his death, and I wear it every single moment.

Dad

My boyfriend bought me a beautiful necklace in memory of my father, who passed away from cancer when I was a teenager. He got this for me for my birthday as a surprise – the best gift I could’ve ever received. I’m so grateful to Donna, who made my Hand on Heart Jewellery with so much care x

Charlotte

On the 23rd of March 2023, our world was broken when our daughter, Charlotte, was born sleeping at 19 weeks and 1 day. We got to cuddle her and spend time with her but had to leave the hospital without her. The amazing midwives took her hand and footprints for us. I really wanted to feel like she was with me wherever I went but didn’t feel comfortable separating her ashes. I looked online and found Hand on Heart Jewellery. I ordered a necklace using her hand and footprints and had it engraved on the back. I wear this necklace every day without fail and would be lost without it.
