We are so sorry to hear that you have lost your beloved pet. Losing a pet is never easy, no matter the circumstances, and it should be taken as seriously as losing a human companion. Although nothing can fill the hole they leave in your heart and the silence in your home, you may wish to celebrate their life in various ways.
You may choose to hold a memorial or create a pet memorial gift for yourself or your loved ones. Here is a snapshot guide on how to select the perfect piece if you are unsure of what type of memorial jewellery or other memorial items you wish to choose.
Types of Pet Memorial Jewellery
1. Nose and paw print jewellery
Think of these pieces as the pet equivalent to fingerprint jewellery. Preserve the outline of your pet’s precious paw in an item of sterling silver, rose gold or yellow gold jewellery forever. Add your engraving to a locket, necklace, bracelet, or Pandora charm. Alongside the various styles, we also have some leather bracelets perfect for people who don’t like wearing metal jewellery.
You will need to use an inkless printing kit to get a copy of your dog, cat or other furry friend’s nose or paw print for the jewellery. Read our complete guide on how to create a perfect paw print for engravings before you place an order.
If you have a favourite photo of your pet, you may like to proudly display these pictures in items like a photo necklace. The jewellery in this range is in a heart shape as this seems popular with people ordering a personalised piece of a loved one or pet. You can even order numerous charms on your memorial necklace or bracelet if you have multiple pets.
Treasure your pet by turning their ashes into jewellery with our signature range. Choose from a ring, necklace or bracelet in your favourite metal so you can wear it daily and keep your best friend close to you.
4. Other Memorial Gifts
Suppose memory jewellery isn’t your thing. There are other options, including engraved trinket boxes on which you can write your pets name or paw print on and fill with sentimental pieces that remind you of them, such as their dog tag. The handwriting and photo keyring is also popular, so you can keep a picture of your furry pal with you when you leave the house.
