October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time that naturally makes us come together in reflection, love and remembrance. It is a moment to celebrate the strength of those living with breast cancer and to support those that have lost because of it. And even for those whose loss isn’t connected to cancer, this month often brings back memories of the people who shaped our lives before they left it.
At Inscripture, we know exactly how powerful those feelings can be, mainly because we feel them too. We ourselves have lost loved ones to cancer, so we know how important months like this can be. It’s also a big reason why our memorial jewellery was created in the first place, to help people hold on to the ones they love, in their own personal way.
The Importance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast Cancer Awareness Month reminds us how many lives are touched by this disease. In the UK, one in seven women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. And while it’s easy to just see this figure as a bunch of numbers, it’s so much more. These are real mothers, sisters, daughters and best friends whose lives have been changed forever because of cancer.
This month encourages all of us to open the conversation up, to support those living with it and to check our own bodies, and those around us, regularly. It’s also a reminder to do our part and help raise funds for the research that continues to ensure those living with breast cancer get the treatment and care they deserve.
And for some, it’s also a month that gives you the opportunity to remember and celebrate loved ones and the incredible courage they showed, or continue to show.
How Memorial Jewellery Can Bring Comfort
At times like this, it’s not always easy to express ourselves the way we want to, but with memorial jewellery, we hope we can help you showcase your love in a way that requires no words. It turns our feelings of love into something tangible, into engraved keepsakes that can be held and worn every day.
Our Handwriting Jewellery Collection is one of our best-selling examples where each necklace, bracelet and charm is engraved with real handwriting taken from a note, card or letter. Every curve and detail of their words are carefully captured to recreate the exact message left behind. It’s a touching way to carry their words and their love with you wherever you go.
Our Fingerprint Jewellery Collection captures their identity in another way, this time immortalising the unique lines and textures of their touch onto precious metal. And with our Photo Jewellery Collection we can preserve a favourite image so that a smile, moment or shared memory can be kept close forever.
For those wanting a more physical reminder, our Ashes into Jewellery safely holds a small amount of ashes or hair within the piece. Your loved one’s remains are beautifully suspended within your chosen Eternal Hues resin colour, each chosen to reflect a different emotion or personality.
You can also choose Aura Shimmer, which adds real diamond dust for a gentle sparkle and select how visible the ashes appear through our Inclusion Visibility options. For those wishing to combine two shades, our Memory Blend option allows two Eternal Hues to be mixed together, representing two lives or two sides of one story.
Each of these collections help to turn memory into something lasting and something that feels like closeness. It’s memorial jewellery designed to remind you that love can still be felt, even after loss.
We’re Supporting the Pink Ribbon Foundation this Breast Cancer Awareness Month
It seems only right that we do our part this breast cancer awareness month too, not just by providing our customers with keepsakes that keep their loved ones close, but by raising funds for one of the many incredible charities doing their part to tackle this disease. That’s why this month, we are proud to support the Pink Ribbon Foundation for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The Pink Ribbon Foundation is a grant-making trust that provides grants to charities across the UK that help people affected by breast cancer. Their work funds everything from counselling and therapy services to research and early detection programmes.
The Ellara Ashes Ring
To help support the incredible work of the Pink Ribbon Foundation, we are donating 15% from every Ellara Ashes Ring sold to the foundation.
This stunning ashes ring, part of our Ashes into Jewellery collection, was originally designed as a tribute to love that endures. At its centre is a heart-shaped setting filled with your loved one’s ashes and your chosen Eternal Hues resin. The band gently crosses near the heart and is finished with sparkling white zirconia stones.
Like all our memorial jewellery, it’s handcrafted in our Essex studio and handled with complete care under our Ashes Safeguard Promise, ensuring your loved one’s ashes remain safe at every step.
And now, as well as being a symbol of remembrance and love, every order of our Ellara Ashes Ring this Breast Cancer Awareness Month becomes a token of strength and support. You’re creating not just a personalised ashes keepsake for yourself but helping others through your support of the Pink Ribbon Foundation.
No matter how you’re spending Breast Cancer Awareness Month, whether it’s by sharing information, remembering someone you love or helping to raise funds with our Ellara Ashes Ring, you’re making a difference. So, thank you.
