What Is Hair Keepsake Jewellery?

Hair keepsake jewellery is jewellery made using a small amount of hair, carefully sealed into your chosen design. The hair may come from a loved one, a child, yourself, or a pet. It can be used to mark a special moment in life, remember someone who has died, or create a family keepsake that can be treasured for years to come.

Each piece is handmade with care and sensitivity. The hair is placed into the jewellery in a way that protects it while allowing it to remain visible as part of the finished design.

What Types of Hair Can Be Used?

Most types of hair can be used for keepsake jewellery, including baby hair, adult hair, memorial hair, pet fur, horse hair, and small locks saved from meaningful moments. The amount needed is usually very small, so even a tiny lock can often be enough.

Darker hair is usually shown best against lighter backgrounds, while lighter hair is often shown best against deeper colours. We carefully choose or adjust the background colour so the hair can be seen clearly and beautifully.

Baby Hair Keepsakes

A baby’s first curl or first haircut can feel too precious to lose. Hair keepsake jewellery allows you to preserve that early moment in a lasting way. These pieces often become family heirlooms, holding a tiny part of the beginning of your child’s story.

Memorial Hair Jewellery

Memorial hair jewellery can bring comfort after loss. A small strand of hair can become a quiet reminder of someone you love, carried with you every day. Whether the hair belonged to a parent, partner, child, friend, or pet, the finished piece is created with respect and care.

How Is the Hair Protected?

The hair is carefully placed into your chosen jewellery design and sealed securely. Depending on the item, it may be preserved within resin or another protective setting. This helps keep the hair safe while creating a smooth, wearable finish.

Every piece is made individually by hand, allowing us to position the hair thoughtfully and create a keepsake that feels personal and meaningful.

How Much Hair Do You Need?

Only a small amount of hair is usually needed. A small lock, a few strands, or a small amount of pet fur can often be enough, depending on the design you choose. If you only have a very small amount, we will handle it carefully and use it as respectfully as possible.

How Do I Send Hair Safely?

Once you place your order, your hair can be sent to us securely following the instructions provided. We recommend placing the hair inside a small sealed bag or folded paper, clearly labelled with your name and order details.

Please do not send more than needed unless you are happy for us to keep the extra with your order while the jewellery is being made. Any unused hair can be returned with your finished piece if requested.

Choosing the Right Hair Keepsake

Hair keepsakes can be created as necklaces, rings, charms, beads, bracelets, keyrings, and other meaningful designs. Some people prefer a subtle piece where the hair is softly blended into the design, while others prefer the hair to be clearly visible.

The best choice is the one that feels right for you. A simple pendant may be perfect for everyday comfort, while a charm or bead may be ideal for adding to a bracelet you already wear.
