Memorial Jewellery: A Beautiful Way to Keep Someone Close
Jewellery has always been about more than just sparkle - it tells stories, carries meaning, and often becomes a lasting reminder of life’s most important moments. At Wongs, we know that some of the most cherished pieces are those worn in memory of a loved one. That’s where memorial jewellery comes in.
Whether you’ve inherited a piece from a family member, want to mark the memory of someone special, or are simply looking for a subtle way to feel close to someone you’ve lost – memorial jewellery offers a personal and lasting tribute.
Pieces That Carry Meaning
Our collection includes a variety of options designed to hold precious memories in different ways:
Engravable Jewellery
From initials and dates to meaningful messages or handwriting, engraving transforms a beautiful piece into something entirely personal. We offer a wide range of engravable styles - from simple pendants to signet rings - so you can choose something that feels right for you.
Photo Lockets
Lockets are timeless for a reason. They’re designed to hold something close – whether it’s a favourite photo, a handwritten note, or even a tiny pressed flower. Available in gold, silver, and rose tones, they offer a lovely way to carry a memory with you every day.
Ashes Jewellery
We also offer discreet pendants designed to hold a small amount of ash, so your loved one can remain physically close to your heart. These pieces are subtle, elegant, and made to be worn with love and comfort.
Bringing New Life to Inherited Pieces
Sometimes, the most powerful pieces are the ones passed down. If you’ve inherited jewellery that’s meaningful but not quite your style - or doesn’t quite fit - our on-site workshop team can help.
We regularly work with customers who want to:
- Resize or adapt a wedding band to wear on a chain
- Set inherited stones into a new ring, pendant or bracelet
- Combine pieces from multiple family members into one modern design
One example: a customer brought in a necklace she was looking to repurpose. Using all of the components of the original piece, she created something new that she adored, all the while retaining all of the sentimentality and family memories.
"I recently had a necklace re-imagined and made into a ring. They shared their expertise, ideas and compassion (it was a family piece) and I was SO delighted with the outcome. Please be assured that you are in good hands with Wongs"
Creating Something Truly Bespoke
If you have something completely unique in mind, our expert goldsmiths can bring it to life. From fingerprint engravings and birthstone arrangements to totally original designs, our in-house workshop is equipped to craft one-of-a-kind memorial pieces from scratch.
We’ve helped customers design everything from symbolic lockets shaped like a shared passion to sleek, modern rings containing hidden messages. If it matters to you, we’ll find a way to make it part of the design.
Whether it’s based on a rough sketch, a story, or just a feeling - we’re here to make sure your piece is exactly how you imagined it (and maybe even better).
