Handmade with love, meant to last - here’s how to care for your piece.
Each piece of jewellery I make is crafted slowly, by hand, using raw textures, recycled metals, and natural finishes. With a little extra care, your piece can be worn and treasured for many years to come.

Need Help or a Refresh?
If your piece needs a little love after lots of wear, I’m happy to help. Whether it’s a professional polish, a reset, or a repair, just pop me a message.
Jewellery is made to be worn, loved, and lived in.
A little care goes a long way - and every mark and moment only adds to the story.
Aftercare for Inlay Memorial Jewellery
Your inlay memorial piece has been created with a combination of your loved one’s ashes and a durable resin. To help preserve its clarity and strength, please follow these care guidelines:
Aftercare for Ashes-in-Metal Memorial Jewellery
This type of memorial piece is crafted by incorporating ashes directly into the metal during the making process, creating a subtle and long-lasting tribute. These pieces are generally more durable and can be worn daily, but still benefit from mindful care:
Because the ashes are safely held within the metal, there is no visible resin to protect - making this style more resilient for daily life while keeping its meaning close.
The Beauty of Wear
Like all meaningful jewellery, your ring may pick up tiny signs of wear over time. That’s part of its story. But if your inlay ever becomes damaged or dulled, I’m happy to help with a professional clean, polish or inlay refresh.
Here’s how to look after it:
General Tips
- Avoid moisture: Remove your jewellery before swimming, showering, or doing the dishes - water, especially saltwater or chlorine, can dull the finish and affect the metal over time.
- Keep away from chemicals: Perfume, lotions, and cleaning products can react with silver and gold. Put your jewellery on last, and take it off first.
- Store it safely: Keep your piece in a soft pouch or separate box when you’re not wearing it, away from humidity and direct sunlight.
Silver Jewellery
- Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time, especially when exposed to air or worn infrequently - to bring back its shine, gently polish with a soft cloth (I recommend a jewellery polishing cloth).
- Wearing it often actually helps prevent tarnish - your skin’s natural oils are a good thing!
Gold Jewellery
- Gold is low-maintenance but still benefits from gentle care.
- Avoid harsh scrubbing - use warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth if you need to clean it.

Aftercare for Inlay Memorial Jewellery
Your inlay memorial piece has been created with a combination of your loved one’s ashes and a durable resin. To help preserve its clarity and strength, please follow these care guidelines:
- Keep away from water and chemicals: Avoid wearing your jewellery while swimming, showering, or cleaning. Prolonged exposure to water and household products can weaken the resin.
- Store safely: Keep your piece in a soft pouch or box when not being worn to protect the inlay from scratches and UV exposure, which can cause yellowing over time.
- Avoid impact and heat: Resin can crack if dropped or exposed to high temperatures. Handle your piece with care, especially if it includes delicate design work.
- Polish gently: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe your piece. Do not use jewellery cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the inlay.
Aftercare for Ashes-in-Metal Memorial Jewellery
This type of memorial piece is crafted by incorporating ashes directly into the metal during the making process, creating a subtle and long-lasting tribute. These pieces are generally more durable and can be worn daily, but still benefit from mindful care:
- Wear with care: While these pieces are designed for everyday wear, remove them during heavy manual work or activities that could scratch or dent the metal.
- Clean simply: Use a soft polishing cloth or warm water with mild soap to clean your jewellery. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products can dull the finish of the metal over time.
- Store properly: Keep in a dry place, ideally in a soft pouch or box to prevent scratches when not worn.
Because the ashes are safely held within the metal, there is no visible resin to protect - making this style more resilient for daily life while keeping its meaning close.
