How Can Memorial Jewellery Help Me Grieve?

No matter what age or under what circumstance we lose a loved one, it is one of the most difficult experiences we go through in life and it can involve a rollercoaster of emotions and up and down days. Often we seek different ways of comfort to help us navigate our way through the grief and one of those ways is through memorial jewellery.

What is memorial jewellery?

Memorial jewellery is a unique type of jewellery that is worn to not only remember and honour the memory of our loved ones, but also to help provide us with some comfort at the same time. Memorial jewellery in earlier years featured rings, necklaces or charms which were created using the actual ashes of your loved ones. Since 2011 Gemz By Emz have created and designed unique and modern pieces of jewellery that do not require your loved one's ashes to be created. Whilst we do create self-fill ashes jewellery which can be filled with your loved one's hair or ashes inside, we are not limited to creating only this jewellery. We have designed our own unique and modern jewellery pieces which can be engraved with the actual photo, handwriting or fingerprint/handprint of your loved one too!

How can memorial jewellery help with grieving?

We hear from our customers all of the time who tell us that our memorial jewellery has provided them with great comfort following the loss of a loved one or a pet.

Being able to have your jewellery pieces engraved with the face of your loved one, their unique fingerprint or they actual handwritten message to you provides such a personalised and treasured keepsake for years to come. This personalisation allows you to feel that your loved one is actually with you every day and our popular necklaces in particular allow for your loved one to be close to your heart.

Our photo jewellery in particular enables you to have a specific moment in time captured forever onto a special item of jewellery - perhaps this could be your favourite photo of your mother, or a photo of you and your father from your favourite holiday.
