How to Order

1. Choose Your Jewellery

Explore our collections and choose your favourite design. All of our jewellery can be personalised with breastmilk, cremation ashes, hair, fur or other meaningful inclusions.

Please note: Product photographs are examples of previous designs. Your jewellery will be created in your chosen base colour as standard, without decorative flakes. Flakes can be added upon request included in the price of your item, and opal accents are available for an additional £5 per item.

For specific colour combinations, finishes or bespoke designs, please contact us to discuss your preferences.

2. Receive Your Inclusion Kit

Once you've placed your order, we'll send you an Inclusion Kit (UK orders only) containing a suitable container, clear instructions and a personalisation form for your colour, finish and design choices.

Ordering a ring? Your kit will also include a ring sizer to help you find the perfect fit. Please return this with your inclusions.

Customers are responsible for return postage when sending their inclusions to us.

International orders: Customers outside the UK will need to send their inclusions directly to us. Inclusion kits and ring sizers are not supplied for international orders.

For unusual or bespoke inclusions, we'll contact you personally to discuss your requirements.

3. Your Keepsake Is Handcrafted

Once your inclusions arrive safely, your jewellery will be individually handcrafted with care and attention to detail.

Your inclusions are carefully incorporated into high quality resin and set into your chosen jewellery design.

We understand how precious your inclusions are and treat each one with the care and respect it deserves.

4. Receive Your Special Keepsake

Your finished jewellery will be carefully packaged and delivered to your door, ready to wear and treasure for years to come.

Any unused inclusions will be returned with your completed jewellery, except for breastmilk, which is preserved for future remakes or additional orders.

Handcrafted with care in West Wales, made to be treasured for years to come.

Every inclusion is unique, and we understand just how precious these materials can be. To help us create your perfect keepsake, please read the relevant information below before sending your inclusions.

Breastmilk & Colostrum

• Minimum quantity: Ideally 5ml of breastmilk or colostrum. Smaller quantities can be accommodated, below 2.5ml I may need to add a little water during preservation.
• Previously frozen milk: Perfectly suitable, including milk that has been stored in the freezer for some time.
• Preservation: Your milk is carefully preserved using a specialist process that transforms it into a powder before being incorporated into resin. This process takes approximately five days and helps protect the milk against deterioration.
• Unused milk: Any remaining preserved breastmilk powder is securely stored for future remakes or additional orders.
• Appearance: A natural, milk coloured finish is standard, although alternative colours, decorative flakes and opal accents are available upon request. Opal accents cost an additional £5 per item.

Umbilical Cord

Umbilical cord must be completely dried before sending.

Small strands or fragments can be incorporated throughout your jewellery or arranged in a particular area of the design.

If you would prefer your cord to be discreetly positioned or contained within a smaller section of your piece, please let us know your preferences.

Placenta

We can only accept fully dried or encapsulated placenta. Fresh placenta cannot be accepted.

• If your placenta has been encapsulated, one capsule is sufficient.
• The natural colour of your placenta may influence the appearance of your finished jewellery.
• If you would prefer a more subtle finish, your placenta can be positioned in a smaller section of the design or concealed where the design allows.

Please contact us if you have any specific preferences.

Cremation Ashes

We can incorporate both human and animal cremation ashes into our jewellery.

• Quantity required: Approximately one teaspoon of ashes is sufficient.
• Inclusion Kit: UK orders include a suitable container for safely sending your ashes.
• Natural appearance: Cremation ashes vary in colour, texture and particle size, which can influence the finished appearance of your jewellery.
• Visible or discreet: Ashes can be displayed within the resin or incorporated more discreetly. If you would prefer your ashes to be concealed, please let us know.

We understand that cremation ashes are irreplaceable and treat every inclusion with the utmost care and respect.

Hair & Fur

Hair and fur can be incorporated into many of our jewellery designs, creating a beautiful keepsake of someone special.

• Quantity required: A small curl, lock or tuft of hair or fur is usually sufficient.
• Appearance: The colour, texture and thickness of the hair will influence how it appears within the resin.
• Lighter hair: Blonde, white and grey hair may become translucent when placed in resin, making individual strands less visible.

Although we carefully select and position strands to achieve the best possible result, we cannot guarantee the visibility of hair or fur, as this depends on its natural characteristics.

If you have a particular arrangement in mind, please contact us before ordering.

Custom & Unusual Inclusions

We can accommodate a wide variety of sentimental inclusions beyond those listed above, including teeth, fabric, soil, pregnancy tests and other meaningful materials.

Some inclusions may require specialist preparation or may not be suitable for every jewellery design.

Please contact us before ordering with an unusual inclusion so we can discuss its suitability, your design preferences and any special preparation requirements.

A Little Reassurance

Your inclusions are handled with care throughout the creation process. Any unused inclusions will be returned with your completed jewellery, with the exception of preserved breastmilk powder, which is retained for future remakes or additional orders.

If you're unsure how much to send, how to prepare your inclusion or whether something can be incorporated into your chosen design, we're always happy to help.

Simply get in touch before ordering, and we'll guide you through the process.
