Losing a pet is losing a member of the family. Whether it's a dog who greeted you at the door every day, a cat who curled up beside you every evening, or any other companion who shared your life, the grief is real and it deserves to be honoured. Pet memorial jewellery offers a way to keep them with you, always.
What Is Pet Memorial Jewellery?
Pet memorial jewellery works in exactly the same way as human memorial jewellery. A small amount of your pet's cremation ashes or fur is placed inside a discreet compartment within a ring, pendant, charm, or bracelet. The piece is then sealed, and you can wear it every day as a quiet tribute to your companion.
Ashes, Fur, or Both?
You have options when it comes to what you place inside your memorial piece:
- Cremation ashes. The most common choice. Only a tiny pinch is needed (0.1 to 0.5 grams).
- Fur or hair. A few strands of your pet's fur can be placed inside instead of, or alongside, ashes. This is a lovely option if you saved a clipping before they passed, or if your pet wasn't cremated.
- A combination. Some people add both a tiny amount of ashes and a strand of fur to the same piece.
Which Piece Should I Choose for a Pet Memorial?
Any piece of memorial jewellery can be used as a pet memorial. Some of the most popular choices include:
- Paw print pendants and charms. Designs featuring a paw motif are a beautiful, recognisable tribute.
- Heart-shaped pendants. A classic symbol of love that works for any pet.
- Ashes beads and charms. Small, versatile pieces that can be added to an existing bracelet or chain.
- Rings. Wear your pet's memory on your hand every day.
Can I Get My Pet's Paw Print on Jewellery?
Yes. If you have a paw print impression (many vets and pet crematoriums offer this service), it can sometimes be incorporated into bespoke jewellery designs. If you're thinking about this, it's worth asking your vet about taking a paw print impression before or shortly after your pet passes.
When Should I Order?
There's no right or wrong time. Some people order immediately after their pet passes, finding comfort in having something tangible to hold onto. Others wait until the sharpest edge of grief has softened. Your pet's ashes won't deteriorate, so you can take as long as you need.
Is It Just for Dogs and Cats?
Not at all. We've created memorial pieces for dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, birds, and many other beloved animals. If your companion was cremated or you have a lock of their fur or hair, we can help you create a lasting keepsake.
What Our Customers Say
Many of our pet memorial customers tell us that wearing their jewellery brings genuine comfort: a sense that their companion is still with them on walks, at work, and through the quiet moments at home where their absence is felt most.
