Touch Wood Keepsakes - Memorial Rings and Pins

Our process for creating a memorial ring or pin is uniquely personal to the individual or family we are working with. As with our Touch Wood Rings; wood types, colours, design and sizing are your decisions to make. We are here to help and we will communicate with you for as long as necessary to ensure you are happy with your choices.

There is no pre-production work - every ring and pin is an individually created work of art. While David works on your piece, we keep the ashes of your loved one in a special keepsake box overlooking our meadow, as a symbolic way to share the incredible view, the blackbirds song, the sunrises and the moonlight ...

Since rings and pins are so small, very little ash is required in their making. A small jewelry bag (the tiny plastic zip lock kind) or a small plastic pill bottle containing just a teaspoon or thimbleful of ash, sealed inside a plastic bag and shipped in a padded envelope is a very safe way to send us all we need to create your ring or pin. Any unused ash is carefully repackaged and returned with your order, or if you prefer, lovingly scattered among the willows at the edge of the meadow.

There are lots of possibilities for this style of Touch Wood Ring. You might consider having a simple wooden band created from some special piece of wood in memory or celebration of someone you love. Your wood ring can be crafted from wood that has a special memory for you . . your grandfather's hammer handle or a bit of wood from your Mum's old wooden spoon. . . It is not necessary to incorporate a center band.

If you are thinking about adding a center band of something other than cremains, you might consider a few words on a strip of paper from a handwritten letter, a bit of sand from a special beach, even strands of hair can be incorporated as an inset band in our wood rings.

To incorporate fabric, paper, sand, strands of hair, crushed rock; the cost would vary depending on the complexity of the design.
