Are you wondering what to do with your loved ones cremation ashes? Maybe you have looked at those little ‘jewellery’ urns and they aren’t quite your thing. A different option would be to have something made from my ‘ashes into silver’ range.
I have developed a technique that allows me to mix a small amount of cremation ashes into silver itself so that it actually becomes a part of the piece. Unlike an ‘urn’ where the ashes could be emptied out, my technique embeds the ashes into silver. It is your choice whether you would like the ashes to be hidden or visible.
Because I work with silver clay, it is possible to craft pretty much any design. Texture mats enable me to incorporate beautiful patterns into your design.
You could even have the ashes put into a charm that features your loved ones fingerprint, handprint or handwriting. I can make the ashes visible in the silver (the lumpy effect), or I can hide them underneath the top layer of the piece so that you still get the smooth, shiny finish and no one needs to know that you have ashes inside. Only a tiny amount of ashes is needed, quarter of a teaspoon will be more than enough to create this effect, leaving you with plenty of ashes to scatter or be made into other items.

Are you still doing this. If so how large of an item can you make. I was thinking about having my fathers ashes melted into silver and create a small sailboat ornament
Hello, yes I still make ashes jewellery however I do not work with molten/melted silver. I am not sure I would be the right person for this job. Thanks Gemma
Hi please could I have an email address to speak about an order I would like to place
you can email gemma@lastingtouch.co.uk Thanks
Hi Gemma. Do you do mens bands?
Thank you
I’d dropped you an email Jo. Thank you
I am looking for a cremation/ashes ring. I have a rough design in mind. Would this be something you could help me with?
At the moment i do not offer rings, however I will be taking a course at the end of March and I will hopefully be able to offer them after that. Please feel free to email me your design ideas. Thanks
Do you have a design that is more masculine?
Maybe smaller and a simple disc or a circle?
Or a tree of life design?
Just ideas.
Hi, All of my pieces are made from scratch so can be any shape you like. I am more than happy to work with you to design a bespoke piece that suits your needs 100%. Drop me an email at gemma@lastingtouch.co.uk to have a chat about it.
I have a ring with my daughters birthstone but I want to put my moms ashes into the band. Is there anyway to do that while still keeping the design of my ring.
Hi Sabrina, it might be possible but it isn’t something that I personally would do. I make all of my pieces from scratch, I do not work with existing jewellery. It’s too high risk and I would be worried that I would not be able to replace it if anything were to go wrong.
I love your work! Can you tell me what the price would be for the teardrop shaped pendant with the tulip design. Thank you.
Hi Carol, this was a bespoke piece made for a customer. The price would be around £65 for something similar. Do feel free to email gemma@lastingtouch.co.uk
Thanks Gem
Thank you. I’ll be in touch in a couple of weeks.
How much of the ashes would you need for a pendant of about one and a half inches?
Only a tiny amount, less that 1/2 a teaspoon. The rest you can scatter or do with as you wish.
