Hair & Fur in Memorial Jewellery
Practical guidance for trade partners helping families choose a personal keepsake.
A loved one’s hair, or a much-loved pet’s fur, can be included in the resin within a suitable EverWith design. This guide helps your team explain the options, discuss colour choices and prepare each family’s order with confidence.
Explore the colour guide ↓How we include hair or fur in memorial jewellery
Our jewellers carefully incorporate a small amount of hair or fur into the resin setting of the chosen piece. Help the family select suitable jewellery and a resin colour, and record their preferences clearly when placing the order through your trade portal.
Hair or fur can be used instead of ashes in suitable designs. Check the suitability information on the product page before confirming the family’s choice. If you are unsure, our trade team can advise.
Around 10 strands are normally sufficient for one standard item of jewellery. Additional pieces, or designs such as cufflinks, require more. If a family has very little hair or fur, contact our trade team before sending anything so we can advise on the chosen design.

Helping families picture their keepsake
Customer photographs of rings made with hair, to help illustrate the possibilities. Each finished piece is individual.
A colour that complements
their hair or fur
Ask the family whether they would like the hair or fur to be clearly visible. Contrast can make the strands easier to see: darker hair often stands out against lighter resin, while pale hair or fur can be more noticeable against deeper colours.
Use the recommendations below when a family would like the strands to be visible. For fur with several shades, choose the closest match or contact our trade team for advice before confirming the colour.
Would the family prefer a more discreet result? Some families prefer the hair or fur to be less visible. Help them choose a resin colour they love, and ask our trade team if they would like advice on a discreet combination for their chosen design.
Transparent resin is suitable for all hair and fur colours.

From a family’s wishes
to a personal keepsake
Confirm the design and place the order
Help the family choose suitable jewellery and a resin colour. Record their preferences and place the jewellery order through your trade portal before sending any hair or fur to EverWith.
Prepare and label the hair or fur
Around 10 strands are normally sufficient for one standard item; additional pieces and designs such as cufflinks require more. Follow the trade ordering instructions. Place the hair or fur in an EverWith resealable bag and label it with the loved one’s name and the EW-XXXXX-TRADE order reference. Include a printed, signed Order Confirmation Form and send it in the prepaid padded envelope. Encourage the family to keep the remainder safely with them.
We create the jewellery and keep you informed
Once the order has been physically processed, our trade team will email you to confirm receipt. We will email again when the jewellery has passed quality control, followed by courier tracking information. All unused hair or fur is returned with the completed order for you to return to the family. Check the order before arranging collection or handover.
Questions families may ask
Does the family need to provide ashes as well?
No. Hair or fur can be used instead of ashes in suitable designs. Check the product suitability information and contact our trade team if you need help confirming the family’s choice.
What if a family has very little hair or fur?
Around 10 strands are normally sufficient for one standard item of jewellery. Additional pieces, or designs such as cufflinks, require more. Please contact our trade team before sending anything if the family’s supply is very limited, so we can advise on the chosen design.
How should we explain the arrangement of the hair?
As standard, our jewellers arrange the hair in a fan shape. Where the chosen design does not allow for this, such as a long, narrow resin chamber, they arrange the strands to suit the setting. Explain this to the family and discuss any specific request with our trade team before confirming it.
Will the family be able to see the hair or fur?
Visibility depends on the strands and the resin colour. Use the colour guide to discuss contrast and ask whether the family would prefer a visible or discreet result. Transparent resin is suitable for all hair and fur colours. Every piece is individual, so speak to our trade team before ordering if visibility is particularly important to the family.
Can a family include more than one loved one?
Our trade team can advise on requests involving more than one loved one. Record whose hair or fur should be included and any preferences for separate settings, colours or placement. Read the guide to including more than one loved one, and contact our trade team if you need help preparing or labelling the contents.
Will unused hair or fur be returned to the family?
Yes. All unused hair or fur is returned with the completed jewellery order for you to return to the family. Explain this when discussing the order so the family knows what to expect.
How can we reassure families about the care taken?
Our trade team confirms receipt once the order has been physically processed. Orders are photographed throughout the process, and only one jewellery order is made at a time by our jewellers in the workshop. Read more about our care process to help answer the family’s questions.
