When we lose someone truly special, or a deeply loved pet, capturing the essence of their physical memory is a deeply personal journey.
Often, families find themselves holding onto more than one type of precious keepsake. You might have a small amount of cremation ashes, but also a lock of hair or a clipping of fur.
A question we are frequently asked at our studio is: Can you combine both ashes and hair inside a single piece of memorial jewellery?
The short answer is yes, absolutely. Combining multiple sentimental inclusions into one memorial tribute creates an incredibly unique, multi-layered piece that keeps your loved one close.
How We Mix Inclusions Beautifully
At Nicky Robin, We specialise in crafting custom layouts that treat every physical inclusion with the utmost dignity. When blending ashes and hair or fur, there are two main styling methods:
- The Shared Element Design: We can gently integrate fine snippets of hair or fur directly alongside the cremation ashes within our vibrant, custom-coloured polymer resins. This creates a subtle, beautiful textured depth where both elements sit together for eternity.
- Layered Placement: Depending on the design of the setting, we can carefully position the ashes as a grounding base layer, delicately placing the hair or fur on top before sealing it under our crystal-clear protective finish.
What Can Be Combined?
Our bespoke processing isn't limited to just human remembrance. This method is incredibly popular for:
- Pet Memorials: Combining a beloved dog or cat’s ashes with a clipping of their ashes and soft fur.
- Equestrian Keepsakes: Blending a horse's ashes with an elegantly woven strand of horsehair from their mane or tail.
- Family Tributes: Incorporating hair from multiple family members or combining a parent’s ashes with a childhood lock of hair.
Finding Your Perfect Piece
If you are looking to create a combined keepsake, our dedicated Ashes & Hair Collection features stunning options specifically designed to hold multiple elements securely. From delicate silver lockets to elegant statement rings, we walk you through every step of the process.
Every order includes our signature, secure Inclusion pack, allowing you to safely send your elements to our studio. Any unused hair or ashes are returned to you with the utmost respect alongside your finished, handcrafted jewellery and its official Certificate of Authenticity.
