Memorial Jewelry

Memorial Jewelry

This collection includes modern memorial jewelry with a discreet, permanently sealed hidden compartment — created to hold meaning quietly and privately.

This collection began with my mother.

After her passing in England, I wanted a discreet way to keep her close — not something obvious, but something refined, enduring, and personal.

As a jeweler working in solid 10K, 14K, and 18K gold, as well as sterling silver, I created pieces designed for everyday wear — natural, elegant, and made to last.

Each piece is handcrafted in New York and features a permanently sealed hidden ashes compartment. Once sealed, it never reopens — ensuring privacy, security, and permanence.

The collection includes cremation rings, diamond bands, ashes necklaces, and fine pendants in solid gold and sterling silver.

Individually made using genuine diamonds and precious metals, each piece is designed to be worn daily — to hold meaning quietly and beautifully.

Why I make memorial jewelry

It began with my mother

After my mother passed, I wanted a way to keep her close that was refined and private, not obvious. So I made one.

Since then I've made memorial pieces for people remembering family, friends and much-loved pets. Each one is made in solid gold or sterling silver, to be worn every day for a lifetime.
