The Meaning
Sometimes we go through times in our lives where we feel like we need to hold on to an important relationship and keep it close.
For this reason I've created a very special pendant so that you can keep a memento of your lost loved one close to you.
The Details
The Memento Mori necklace is made from sterling silver with a faceted quartz stone set above a small "well" of resin containing a token of your loved one. I have decided use resin so that no moisture can get in and nothing can find its way out, meaning your loved one is preserved forever. If you would prefer no resin, please let me know, but please be aware that moisture can get into micro-gaps between the stone and the silver and may affect the materials inside.
| Metal | Sterling Silver |
| Stone | Clear Quartz |
| Pendant size | 10x19mm (each stone is hand cut so please allow for slight variation in dimensions) |
The Options
There are many different things you can preserve such as:
- Ashes (shown in photos)
- Fur (shown in photos)
- Whiskers
- Hair
- Dried petal from a funeral bouquet
- Feathers
- Snake shed
Chain sold separately, find them in this listing.
For an additional fee of £17.50, you can have a small detail laser-engraved on the back of your necklace such as your loved ones signature, name, or pawprint. You will need a clear photograph of what you want engraving, and please bear in mind that it will be shrunk down to 7x9mm. If you're unsure if it will fit please contact me before ordering.
The engraving service is carried out by the wonderful Christy of Hendrix and Rogue and will increase lead-times by approximately 1-2 weeks.
You can add the engraving service to your order by clicking here.
The Smallprint
When you place your order, I will send you an email with a disclaimer to sign as I will be working with your precious materials. You will need to sign and send this to me along with the material you wish to be preserved. The email I send you will also contain any special instructions pertaining to your order.
Any material you send me will be handled with the utmost respect and any unused material will be returned to you with your completed necklace.
Made to order - this item will take approximately 4 weeks to make.
I can’t fault any part of the process! Riley was so nice and understanding with my questions, everything was handled with care and love and it arrived much quicker than I was expecting.
The pendant it’s so beautiful! I also got my boys paw print on the back of the pendant which is such a special thing to have. Because of Riley I can have my boy with me always ❤️
Having this pendant means I can start healing while still remembering my beloved Claudio. Thank you so much!
Riley made this beautiful pendent, so I am always able to have a keepsake of my dog Roxy - having this has really meant a lot to me. He sent me updates on how it was all going and was a pleasure to buy from. Would 100% recommend.
Riley was wonderful to work with, explaining what was happening every step of the way so I was secure that the ashes of my gran were safe in their hands. The finished product is just beautiful, I'm so happy I decided to go with Riley rather than one of the bigger memorial jewellery companies. The service felt personal and the necklace is so much more "me" than the standard designs that are offered. I would recommend Riley to anyone.
I commissioned a memento mori necklace to honour my beautiful 16 year old fluffy ginger cat, Henry who passed in Sept 2024. Not only was the final result as beautiful as Henry was in his feline form but the service and support provided whilst I struggled to prepare the ashes was unbelievably comforting. Regular contact without pressure on me and once I was able to relay the ashes I was kept updated on the progress.
I’m so grateful for the love and care taken to help me feel like I have a physical token of such a special soul back with me.
