It all started with a garden arbour in memory of my granddad Arthur Pynegar

My Nana purchased an arbour(large garden seat)as a tribute unfortunately she didn’t get to sit and reflect as often as she would have liked as it lived in my garden.

So I decided to find a perfect memorial product for my nana, that she could keep with her close to her at all times.

After a few months of searching, I found the perfect tribute, unfortunately it was too expensive.
A diamond grown from carbon off hair or cremation ashes. Most other tributes I found were mass produced so not Unique or personal enough, so decided I would create my OWN memorial tribute, in memory of my granddad.

How?

Next Roger(my husband) and I went on a jewellery making course, I soon found out this was not my forte in life!!!! BUT WE HAD A GO. Roger had to be moved tables as he was sanding his jewellery piece, so well!, the whole table was shaking violently. Here are the photos of what we made, not really a fitting tribute. Hair incorporated into silver

Still it was a great idea, I wasn’t going to let this little challenge put me off, I decided to apply for patent on the very idea, and would make it accessible to everyone.

How?

With skill, it could be a perfect Tribute or celebration piece. After about a year of searching i found SUE our master jeweller who produces the most fantastic hand crafted quality pieces. This is now known as our Always near range, Gold and silver memorial pendants, hand pieces, crystal healing stones and jewellery with cremation ashes and hair incorporated into them.

My nanas special piece.(phot0) silverpiece as above….dove (hair within the piece)

Look out for our always near range

My phoenix stone was created next which is a gorgeous stone that changes colour in different lights, containing hair and/or cremation ash this is not a grown diamond, but the sentimental value is no less was created next.

The memorial diamond idea never went away, I wanted to create a stone at an accessible price, but NOT compromise on Quality, so scoured countries for the leading technologies that could help me develop a memorial stone that would capture the carbon off either cremation ashes or hair even nails. (this is because not everyone has hair)

After a while I was lucky to find James, a Cutting edge expert who has many years in the newest of technologies and cutting edge developments in lab grown gemstones. He has helped develop our aura jewel for me. Thank you James:)

Allowing us to create, and within 6 weeks, not 6 months a jewel that possess the greatest sentimental value and sparkling beauty second to none.
