How is it made?
Creating memorial jewelry involves a meticulous and careful process to ensure that each piece is both beautiful and durable. Here’s how it’s made:
- Collection: You provide a small amount of your inclusions, usually around 1/2 tsp or the size of a quarter. We will send you a shipping kit to collect your inclusions and label for each one.
- Creation: I will combine your inclusions with resin to create a solid, durable material. This material is poured into a mold to make a stone or into your preferred bezel.
- Completion: Once your piece(s) are complete, we will carefully package them, along with any leftover inclusions and a care card, and return to you!
How long will it take?
Turnaround time is currently 8-10 weeks after I receive your inclusions. We do not keep stock of jewelry findings so everything is made to order. Is it possible for your piece(s) to be done sooner? Yes! But this is our normal timeframe that you should expect.
What inclusions do you work with?
We mostly work with ashes, fur/hair, sand/soil, flowers and fabric. We can also do breast milk. If there is something else you would like to include, please send us a message at keepsakes@floracreekplace.com to see if we can help!
Can I mix inclusions?
Absolutely! For example, you can mix your pet ashes with a fur clipping. Just make sure that you leave detailed instructions when you order and on your information sheet that is sent with your inclusions (this is included in the kit!)
How much do I need to send?
It depends on what you are sending but here are the typical guidelines:
Hair: 1 inch long, 2-3 clippings per piece/loved one
Ashes, Sand, Dirt, etc.: ½ tsp. per piece/loved one
Flowers: send a couple of petals of each color or flower you want used in each piece.
Fabric: a quarter size per piece of fabric you wish to send. It will be cut into smaller piece to fit within the bezel/stone.
How do I know you’re using my inclusions?
This work means the world to me and I am meticulous about keeping orders organized. Everything is immediately labeled and safely stored. I also only work on one order at a time to ensure no mix ups. I respect your inclusions, and I thank you for trusting me with them.
How do I get my inclusions safely to you?
Once you have placed your order, I will send you a kit with all the supplies and special instructions on how to package and ship your inclusions to me. And if you want inclusions mixed—label each item very clearly!
Can I send ashes from different people or pets?
Yes, you can! Just make sure to put in the description box that that's what you're sending so we can send you enough bags in the shipping kit for each one. You'll be able to label each bag as well so we know what we're using for each piece.
Can I send hair from different people or pets?
Yes, you can! Just make sure to put in the description box that that's what you're sending so we can send you enough bags in the shipping kit for each one. You'll be able to label each bag as well so we know what we're using for each piece.
I don't see any jewelry that I like, can I order something different?
Absolutely! Please reach out to me on the chat or at keepsakes@floracreekplace.com. I will help you find what you're looking for.
How do I know what size ring to purchase?
If you are unsure of your ring size, and want to find out before ordering, you can go to a jeweler (recommended) or you can order a cheap ring sizer off of Amazon.
If you want to go ahead and purchase your ring, just choose the option "Unsure of Ring Size" and we will send you a ring sizer in your shipping kit.
You will need to mark your ring size on the form we send in the kit to let us know which size to purchase.
Will my jewelry be the same color of the ashes I send?
Ashes will usually darken a bit when mixed with resin. We also offer both white and black shimmer powders that can be mixed with your inclusions if you would like.
Will my jewelry look exactly like what's on the website?
It will look similar but not exact. As these are handmade items, there will be differences in how each piece will look compared to others, even in the same order.
What do you do with leftover inclusions?
Any leftover inclusions will be returned to you with your completed order! Breast milk will be returned in a powdered state. We will not be able to keep milk in it's liquid form.
How do I take care of the jewelry?
Sterling silver will tarnish if you don't take care of it. Keep your Jewelry dry as much as possible. Take it off when washing your hands, taking a shower or swimming. Keep it in an airtight bag when it's being stored. Do not wear it if you're doing something that causes you to sweat, like at the gym. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals. Use the included microfiber cloth to polish it. I am not responsible for damage to the jewelry due to improper care. You will receive a care card with your jewelry!
Will the gold plating come off?
If you plan to wear your piece frequently or every day, I highly recommend choosing sterling silver. Gold plating can wear off over time, and I can't guarantee how long it will last—it could be a few months or up to two years. Because of this, I suggest considering yellow gold plating only for pieces you plan to wear occasionally. It may also be possible to have your piece made of solid gold. If you are interested in this, please contact us with the item you wish to have made in gold so that we can give you a quote.
Do you offer any pieces in solid gold versus gold plated sterling silver?
Some of our pieces do have the option to be made in solid gold! In each listing description, where it says Dimensions & Details, it will state if that piece can be made in solid gold. If you are interested in purchasing that piece, please email us at keepsakes@floracreekplace.com with the name of the piece you want in solid gold and any details such as bezel shape, chain length or ring size so we can get a quote from our jewelry maker to give to you.
Will the resin turn yellow over time?
All resin will turn yellow over time, however, we use a high quality resin that has UV inhibitors to slow the yellowing. I have jewelry pieces that are almost 4 years old and still crystal clear!
Do you offer international shipping?
At this time I am not offering international shipping.
What is your return policy?
Because our jewelry is personalized, we do not offer returns or refunds on them. We would be more than happy to repair your items if something were to happen to them. Please email us if there are any questions regarding this at keepsakes@floracreekplace.com
