Resin Information And Why We Don't Use It
Resin Information
Choosing which memorial piece you want can be a really difficult decision. If you've looked online for memorial jewellery, chances are you have come across the concept of resin being used as a preservation tool for ashes and hair. We do not use resin here and generally advise against it.
Resin, or epoxy resin, is a type of glue that is man-made and used for many different purposes. Resin casting is a method of plastic casting where a mold is filled with a synthetic resin which then hardens. Due to the simplicity of the product, this can be carried out with little investment and little skill.
Its use in jewellery, whilst frowned upon by master craftsmen, has grown over recent years. All resin has the possibility of discoloring to an off-yellow, warping, or falling out due to shrinkage. You cannot get it wet or expose it to too much sun. This is why you won't find resin products in a true jewellery store but will find these products on a market stall.
Don't just take our word for it. It's always important to do your own research. Whilst resin has its place in the world, we believe that for memorialisation, it is not suitable.

Precious Metal Information
Precious Metal Information
Which precious metals do you make with?We work with Sterling Silver, 9ct and 18ct Yellow, Rose, and White Gold, and Platinum.
Is there a difference between 9ct and 18ct gold?The main difference between 9ct gold and 18ct gold is the purity, with 18ct gold being the purer of the two. As a result, 18ct gold will be more expensive than 9ct gold.
The color varies between 9ct and 18ct golds very slightly. This is not noticeable to most people.
None of the above make either metal better or worse. We always advise to go with the one that you want or the one you normally choose.
Which Precious Metal is best?All our precious metal is high quality and suitable for use.
In terms of hardness, silver is the softest, then 9ct gold, then 18ct with platinum being the hardest.
As we said though at the beginning, all precious metals we use are suitable, so it's very much a personal preference based on what you normally buy and your budget.
Do you use sterling silver?Yes, all our silver is sterling silver.
Will your silver tarnish?We Rhodium plate all of our silver to avoid tarnishing as silver is a metal that does tarnish if exposed to certain elements.
Do you hallmark your precious metal?We hallmark all jewellery as per hallmarking UK guidelines and law.
