How to Choose and Create the Perfect Ashes Ring in the UK

It’s so important to find a significant way to honour your loved one. Choosing an ashes ring can be a way to keep a little part of them close after they’ve passed away, and more people than ever are choosing to DIY an ash ring.

Choosing Your Style

With so many options from a classic sterling silver band with a crown point heart, to modern rose gold settings. Ashes are sometimes hidden (placed behind a stone) but usually they’re “visible” which is infused into a resin inlay or stone. You can decide which style resonates most with your grieving process.

Ashes in a Ring UK: The DIY vs. Professional Path

Many UK families choose to send ashes to a jeweller such as Nikki’s flagship store Tree of Opals which specialises in organic, handmade designs, or Rejewelled with beautiful crystal inlay designs, many find peace in the tactile process of making the ring themselves. A DIY kit from Keepsaker Supplies provides the professional-grade materials needed to ensure the tribute is durable and beautiful.

The Preservation Process

We make our rings by hand so please make a note of our lead times, then your ring will be sent by Tracked48 or Special Delivery. A large pinch of ashes is all that you need, you don’t need to send it to us, and the final product is water-resistant.

Putting Ashes in a Ring: Filled vs. Cabochon Rings

• Filled Rings (Direct Pour):  Pour resin into the bezel cup (the holder on top of the ring) then sprinkle some ashes on top. You can include almost any combination of sparkles and even powder eyeshadow then cure under a UV lamp. Our tutorials give you as much or as little info as you like, we just hope you enjoy watching.

• Cabochon Rings: Making a stone with a mould which you can then set in the ring using the back of a teaspoon. You can make as many stones as you like till you get the perfect one and easier if you’re worried you’ll go wrong. Many of our rings are suitable for both.

Sizing
We can make rings in literally any size, if you want to order in a size not shown please get in touch on in**@***************es.com and we will add a listing for you. There’s usually no additional charge for larger rings in silver, within reason! We are size inclusive and have made ring settings for resin in every size for clients in the past. We can make ring settings from a UK A to a Z+16 (a US 1 to US 21).

Cheap Engraving

Our rings can be personalised with engraving like text engraving, such as “Miss you forever Mum xxx” or their actual handwriting (e.g., from an old card), just make sure you’re ordering an engravable ring and add this to the basket at the same time.
