Design Guide

The Design Guide is intended to give you insight on what’s available to personalize your resin keepsake and make it beautiful. I included the most popular options but there are plenty of other add ons not included that can be found in the custom Design Collection. My Instagram has tons of examples to look at! All of these options can be added to your cart from the Custom Design Collection OR just let me know in the check out comment what you would like added. Enjoy!
With love,

What materials are used?

All my Jewelry is made of either .925 sterling silver, .999 fine silver, 14ct gold filled, 22k solid gold, or bronze. All items are clearly marked in product descriptions. Jewellery is not always hallmarked due to thin ring bands. Glitters are biodegradable and I source only ethical Mica powders.
Each order is worked on separately and everything is labelled. Rest assured your element is in good care, and 100% it is your element in the keepsake provided to you. Covid sanitization procedures are in full effect and all tools and work space are cleaned between orders

Ring Sizing

Before you order it’s recommended that you get sized by a professional jeweler. I do not resize rings made of resin, as it can easily be damaged by heat. Be aware that your ring size can fluctuate post partum or with weight gain/loss. Resizing is possible from a certified jeweler in your area who is comfortable using a laser welder. This process does not heat the stone.

Flowers

Flowers of all kinds can be added to your piece! Funeral flowers, birth flowers, even wedding bouquet petals! I have lots of flowers to choose from and you can also send me your own. They just need to be 100% dried. Flowers tend to look a little darker once placed in resin, similarly to what you would expect them to look like if wet. Alternatively, some lighter coloured flowers can look more transparent.

 

Crushed Genuine Opal

Opal adds that something extra.  Beautiful  pieces of rainbow Opal reflect all the colours of the rainbow. It’s not easy to see at first glance but more so when it catches the light with movement. A wonderful option for rainbow babies as well. 

Metallic Flakes

These come in gold, silver, and copper. For milk pieces, gold flake is especially popular because mama milk truly is liquid gold!

 

Hair/Fur/Placenta/Umbi

Hair, fur, Umbi or placenta can be added, please be sure to add this add on to your cart from the Custom Design Collection. Placenta/Umbi MUST be professionally encapsulated as I do not preserve these. These tend to look a little darker once placed in resin, similarly to what you would expect them to look like if wet.

Base Colour

I have made a demo of a fraction of the colours I have. Please let me know if you want a different colour or Custom colour. Ashes also come in a variety of colours. Some are black, grey, yellow, tan, etc and this can impact the colour of the final piece. I tend to place ashes so they are visible, so please use checkout note to let me know you’d prefer me to blend them in. In some cases the ash is so fine it is like a powder and having the ashes very visible is not possible.

The purple memorial ring below shows lavender with purple glitter and Opal.

 

 Breastmilk can also be tinted though! See below
