I made the Reliquary Ring for the simple gesture of looking down at your hand and seeing something of someone you miss. Beneath an oval of faceted quartz is a small chamber that can hold a lock of hair, a photograph or a small portion of ashes. Once the keepsake is in place, I set the quartz into its bezel, keeping what you’ve chosen to carry protected and visible.
I spent almost six months refining the shape of this ring. The challenge was finding enough room beneath the stone while keeping the setting low enough to sit comfortably on the hand. A fine border of beading frames the quartz, and as your hand moves, the light shifts across its facets and reveals the detail beneath.
On each shoulder of the ring sits a small shield that I can design especially for you. The ring pictured carries a leafy sprig. Yours might hold a flower that grew in someone’s garden, an emblem they wore, or a symbol whose meaning belongs to the two of you. We can work out those details together.
Available in sterling silver or 14k gold.
If you’d like me to place ashes, hair or another personal keepsake inside your reliquary, I can post an A Sacred Mourning keepsake kit to you. The kit is included in the price of your jewellery and is available to clients interstate and overseas.
Before you send anything precious, I’ll be in touch to talk through how much your piece needs and how to send it to me. For overseas orders, we’ll also confirm that your chosen keepsake can be posted to
