Keepsake Jewellery

Keepsake jewellery for the things you want to carry with you.

For the things that hold a story

Not everything worth preserving comes from a feeding journey.

Demeter creates meaningful keepsake jewellery incorporating personal traces such as hair, birth flowers, birthstones and crushed sea glass - turning something small and significant into a piece you can carry with you.

Perhaps it's a flower from your wedding bouquet, a child's birthstone, a lock of hair or a fragment from somewhere that holds a special memory. Each piece is chosen for what it represents, then carefully prepared and incorporated into your jewellery.

Choose the trace that means something to you, then choose the piece you'll carry it in.

What can be preserved in keepsake jewellery?

A keepsake can begin with something almost impossibly small.

Hair can hold a connection to someone you love.

Birth flowers can mark a month, a person or a beginning.

Birthstones can represent the people who make up a family.

Crushed sea glass can bring a piece of a favourite place with you.

Depending on the design, Demeter can incorporate these and other meaningful traces into your chosen piece, creating jewellery that carries a story rather than simply telling one.

What is keepsake jewellery?

Keepsake jewellery is a piece created to hold something personally meaningful — a material, symbol or trace connected to a person, place or moment. At Demeter, our keepsake pieces can incorporate materials such as hair, flowers, birthstones and sea glass.

How do I send my keepsake material?

Once you've placed your order, you'll receive everything you need to safely prepare and send your chosen material to the studio. Your material is carefully handled and individually incorporated into your chosen piece.

Can I choose my own birth flower or birthstone?

Yes of course. You can choose from our range or you can send us something to preserve and set in your jewellery. Once you make your order our careful systems will guide you through the process.
