Bespoke Memorial Wedding Jewellery
Some of life’s most joyful moments can also be the ones where we feel the absence of those we love most.
Your wedding day should be filled with love, joy and the people who matter most. When someone special can’t be there in person, a handcrafted piece of memorial jewellery becomes a beautiful way to keep them close.
At Mary Ellen, I create bespoke memorial wedding jewellery using ashes, hair and other meaningful inclusions, allowing you to carry a parent, grandparent or loved one with you as you walk down the aisle and long after your wedding day has passed. Every piece is individually handcrafted in Cornwall, creating jewellery that’s as unique as the person it honours.
After losing my own dad, I came to understand that this isn’t simply about jewellery. It’s about love, remembrance and making sure the people who shaped your life are still part of your most meaningful moments.
Each piece is thoughtfully designed around your story, your loved one and your wedding day, creating jewellery that feels as beautiful to wear as it is meaningful to treasure. Whether worn for your wedding alone or adapted afterwards for everyday wear, every design is created to become part of your future while honouring your past.
Because although grief becomes part of our story, so does love. And the people who shaped your life deserve a place in the moments that shape your future.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to include someone special in your wedding day, I’d be honoured to create something uniquely yours. Together, we’ll create something beautiful that allows the people you love to remain part of the moments you’ll treasure forever.

Bridal & Wedding Party FAQS
How do I get started?
Pop me over a message and we can arrange to speak in whichever way feels most comfortable for you.
From there, I’ll send you a simple form so we can begin exploring what you’re looking for and the story behind your piece.
Is a deposit required?
Yes — to secure your wedding booking and begin the design process, a deposit is required.
Typically, I ask for a 50% deposit initially, however flexible payment plans are available and can be tailored around your wedding date to help spread the cost in a way that works for you.
Do you offer payment plans?
Absolutely. Payment plans can be arranged monthly or split into manageable instalments leading up to your wedding day.
I always try to make the process feel as stress-free and flexible as possible.
What happens after I pay my deposit?
Once your design has been agreed and your deposit has been paid, I’ll begin sourcing the materials for your piece and keep you updated throughout the process.
At this stage, we’ll also confirm your payment plan and timeline.
Can I change the design?
Of course. As long as we’re not too far into the making process, small changes and refinements can usually be made to ensure your piece feels perfect for you.
Whether it’s details to complement your dress, wedding theme, personal style, or sentimental inclusions, every piece is created to feel deeply personal and meaningful.
This may include bridal jewellery, cufflinks, bouquet charms, memorial jewellery, breastmilk jewellery, or other bespoke keepsakes for your day.
How do I approve the final design?
Once you’re completely happy with the design, I’ll send everything over via email for your final approval before creation begins.
What happens once the design is approved?
You’ll receive:
your contract agreement
your payment plan details
a clear outline of the next steps
and information about any materials or inclusions needed for your piece
Your agreed deposit will also be due at this stage.
What happens next?
Where needed, I’ll send out anything required for your piece, such as:
a ring sizer
inclusion bags for ashes, hair, or other sentimental materials
or any additional guidance to help make the process simple and comfortable for you
I’ll remain in touch throughout the creation process so you always know how your piece is progressing.
How far in advance should I book?
I always recommend booking as early as possible, especially during peak wedding seasons.
This gives us plenty of time to design, create, and make any refinements needed before your big day, while also ensuring availability within my schedule.
Where can I see reviews and previous work?
Please feel free to visit my social media pages linked at the top of the website, where you’ll find reviews, previous bespoke pieces, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the process.
I look forward to hearing from you.
