How to Choose Pet Memorial Jewellery to Keep Them Close

Losing a pet is unlike any other loss. They are woven into daily life in quiet, constant ways, and when they are gone, the absence is deeply felt.

Many people choose pet memorial jewellery as a way to keep a small part of that connection close. But it is not only about ashes. There are many ways to honour your pet in a piece that feels right to you.

Ashes, Fur, Feathers and More

While ashes are the most common choice, they are not the only option. Some people prefer to include a small lock of fur, a whisker, feathers, or even a tiny fragment of fabric from a favourite blanket or bedding.

For dogs, cats and even smaller pets, it can feel more comforting to carry something familiar and personal rather than only ashes. There is no right or wrong choice. It is simply about what brings you peace.

Rings, Necklaces and Charms

Pet memorial jewellery comes in many forms. Some choose a ring that can be worn daily. Others prefer a necklace close to the heart. Charms and bracelets can also hold ashes, fur or small keepsakes.

What matters most is choosing a piece you will genuinely wear. A memorial should feel natural, not formal or forced.

You are not limited to a specific “pet” design. While paw motifs are available, any of our memorial jewellery can be used to honour a beloved pet. The most meaningful pieces are often the ones that simply feel like you.

The Process

For those including ashes, hair, fur or fabric, we guide you through the process carefully. Collection kits are provided where needed, and everything is handled with respect and care in our Scottish workshop.

Nothing is rushed. Each piece is made to order.

Keeping Them Close

Choosing pet memorial jewellery is not about replacing what has been lost. It is about carrying a small reminder of the bond you shared.

Whether you include ashes, fur, feathers, whiskers or a tiny piece of something they loved, the choice is personal. What matters is that it feels right to you.
