A personal piece starts with a conversation.
A memorial necklace made around your memory
A memorial pendant gives you a wearable place for a personal inclusion. Resinista offers jewellery made with ashes, hair or fur, with suitable combinations discussed directly with Cathy. Pendants start from £149. Tell her what you would like preserved and whether you prefer a discreet detail or a more visible design.
Questions and details to consider
Start with how you want to wear it: close beneath clothing, visible over a neckline, or saved for particular occasions. A useful design brief has three parts: the inclusion, the look and the way you will wear the necklace. You can bring these preferences to Cathy without having chosen a finished design.
Think about the pendant and chain as one choice. Ask Cathy for the dimensions of the available pendant, the chain options and where the finished necklace would sit. If you have a necklace you already enjoy wearing, its length can be a helpful reference for the conversation.
Questions and details to consider
Check whether the price includes a chain, which lengths are available and whether your preferred clasp or finish is possible. If you hope to use an existing chain, ask Cathy to confirm its suitability for the chosen pendant rather than assuming it will fit. For a gift, consider the recipient’s usual jewellery and let Cathy guide you through the options.
Cathy’s confirmed starting prices are £149 for a stainless steel memorial pendant including a chain, £189 for solid silver and £299 for solid gold. Confirm chain arrangements for silver and gold separately. Agree the full design and delivery price before ordering.
Questions and details to consider
A simple comparison checklist is: pendant material, inclusion, dimensions, chain, finish and total price. Ask for these details together so you can compare like with like. If you have a metal sensitivity, tell Cathy before selecting the pendant and chain. Confirm their exact specifications instead of relying on colour alone.
Describe the detail that matters to you, such as a small amount of ashes, a lock of hair or a little fur. Cathy can discuss what suits the chosen pendant and how the design could look. Ask to see real finished examples when deciding.
Questions and details to consider
Your first message could be: “Hello Cathy, I would like a memorial necklace with a subtle inclusion. Could we discuss a pendant and chain within my budget?” Add a preferred colour or shape if you have one. The pendant pictures here are labelled AI design previews for the planned photography. They illustrate a visual direction; confirm the actual piece with Cathy.
A pendant can be an option when you do not know somebody’s ring size, but their preferences still matter. Consider whether they wear necklaces, the metal they usually choose and whether they would prefer to be involved in the design. An enquiry can begin before these decisions are settled.
Questions and details to consider
For several family members, prepare a separate note for each person: preferred material, chain length, inclusion and budget. Ask Cathy about the whole request before dividing or sending precious materials. Related pieces do not have to be identical. If one person prefers a ring, the memorial rings guide offers another starting point.
Contact Cathy before posting anything precious. She will explain what is needed and how to send it. Agree the design, price and delivery arrangements first. Resinista is based in Sudbury, Suffolk and serves families across the UK, with tracked and insured return arrangements.
Questions and details to consider
Ask for care instructions for both the pendant and chain, including cleaning, storage and when to remove the necklace. Mention any date you have in mind and obtain a current making estimate. Keep a note of the agreed design, chain details and sending instructions so you can check the order without relying on memory.
Stainless steel pendants including a chain start at £149, solid silver at £189 and solid gold at £299. These are starting prices from Cathy’s confirmed reference list. Ask for the final design, chain and delivery price.
Does a memorial necklace come with a chain?
The stainless steel pendant reference price includes a chain. Confirm chain inclusion, length and options separately for silver and gold pendants, and check the details for your chosen design.
Can a memorial pendant contain hair or pet fur?
Resinista offers jewellery using hair or fur as well as ashes. Tell Cathy what you would like included so she can advise on a suitable pendant and combination.
How do I choose the right chain length?
Use a necklace you already find comfortable as a reference, then discuss the available lengths and pendant dimensions with Cathy. Explain whether you want to wear the piece over or beneath clothing.
Can I wear an ashes necklace in water?
Ask Cathy for care instructions for the particular pendant and chain. Confirm when to remove it for bathing, swimming or other activities; do not assume a resin memorial necklace is waterproof.
How do I order a memorial necklace from elsewhere in the UK?
Start by WhatsApp, phone or email to Cathy. Discuss the pendant, inclusion, chain and price, then wait for confirmed sending instructions. An initial enquiry does not commit you to an order.
