What Makes Quality Hair Memorial Jewellery
Hair memorial jewellery transforms a precious strand into a lasting tribute. At Precious Mementos By Sharna, we craft handmade pieces that hold your loved one's hair within resin inlays.
The best hair memorial jewellery combines durable materials, secure enclosure, and thoughtful design. Sterling silver forms the foundation of our pieces, while the resin inlay must seal completely to protect the hair from fading or shifting.
Our Vintage Solitaire Floral Ring and Secret Sentiments pendants exemplify this standard, requiring only a teaspoon of hair yet creating a profound connection.
How Much Hair Is Needed for Memorial Jewellery
You need far less hair than you might think. Most hair memorial jewellery pieces require only about one teaspoon of hair clippings, whether from a recent loss or childhood hair saved years ago.
The hair should be clean and dry; a few strands twisted together work perfectly. This small quantity is placed within the resin inlay, suspended so it stays visible and protected.
For pieces like our Vintage Solitaire Floral Ring, the resin dome sits prominently in the centre, so even a modest amount of hair creates a meaningful visual presence.
How to Send Hair for Memorial Jewellery
Sending your hair safely is straightforward. After you've placed your order, we provide a secure collection kit with a screw-top container designed for sending inclusions such as hair, ashes, or breastmilk.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much hair is needed for hair memorial jewellery?
Most handcrafted hair memorial jewellery requires only a small amount, typically around one teaspoon of hair or less. The hair is incorporated into a resin inlay that sits securely within the piece. This minimal requirement means you can create a meaningful keepsake without needing a large quantity of material. After you order, you'll receive a secure collection kit with a screw-top container specifically designed for sending your precious inclusions safely.
Can hair memorial jewellery be made with ashes as well?
Yes. Many pieces, including the Vintage Solitaire Floral Cubic Zirconia Halo Ring and Secret Sentiments pendants, can hold hair, ashes, breastmilk, or other meaningful materials in the same resin compartment. You can also combine multiple inclusions in a single piece, for example, hair and ashes together, to create a truly personalised tribute. Discuss your specific wishes when ordering, and the artisan will guide you through the design process.
Why is handcrafted hair keepsake jewellery more expensive than standard jewellery?
Handcrafted memorial jewellery costs more because each piece is individually made by an artisan with care and precision. The process involves custom design, high-quality sterling silver or gold, secure resin work to safely hold your inclusions, and a certificate of authenticity. The price reflects the emotional labour, craftsmanship, and the fact that your piece is entirely unique, not mass-produced. You're paying for a lasting, high-quality tribute that will be treasured for years.
