Keepsake Collection

One of my intentions when I started Press + Preserve was to create and offer a curated “Keepsake Collection”. A collection designed to honor our beloved ones who have passed away (be they people, pets, or cherished places), allowing us to keep them close to our hearts.

Born out of my own personal profound experiences of loss and love through my life, I am dedicating this line to the memory of my brother, who lost his battle with brain cancer seven years ago. Grief can be incredibly challenging, and letting go of someone you’ve known your entire life was one of the toughest experiences I faced. Although he is no longer with us physically, I always wanted something tangible to hold onto of him. I searched for jewelry options if we had ashes or hair but was disappointed with what I found online and time slipped away.


I offer various styles, sizes, and metal options (brass, silver, or real gold) at different price points. Each piece will be made to order, so you will need to reach out to me first to discuss the design, color, and other details.

Most importantly, I will honor what you will send me with deep reverence and sacredness.

In honor of my brother, my wish is to help commemorate those we love and have lost.

How it works:

Press + Preserve will collaborate with you to create a meaningful piece that honors your loved one, reflecting your personal style. Whether it's for everyday wear or a special event, we aim to craft something timeless.

What To Expect:

  • After you complete the Keepsake Form Request below, I will reach out to you.
  • We will discuss the design and all necessary details.
  • I will send you detailed instructions on how to send your loved one’s ashes (or hair, fabric, etc.).
  • You will mail the ashes (approximately half a tablespoon per piece) according to the instructions. Any remaining ashes will be returned to you.
  • Once I receive your package, I will begin creating your jewelry or accessory. The wait time may vary based on prior orders. If you have a specific deadline for a special occasion, we can discuss what to expect.

Your finished jewelry will be sent back to you!
