CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Real stories from people who have trusted me to create something precious in memory of someone they love.
I could not be more delighted with the beautiful memorial jewellery that Renée made for me. What I loved was that Renée met with me first to ensure the piece was my design. She kept me updated with a video of her making the piece and provided an excellent service with skill, professionalism, care and compassion. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
I met Renée at a local fair not long after I lost my husband. She made me an additional stone necklace and matching earrings and told me I would wear this one more regularly. She wasn’t wrong, I never take it off. A very special and sensitive lady who understands loss and grief and is able to produce the most amazing pieces to be treasured by those that are left behind.
I can’t recommend Renée enough. She treated my beloved cat’s ashes with such care, respect and compassion throughout the entire process. Her craftsmanship is exceptional, and she was kind, understanding and communicative from start to finish. If you’re looking for a special memorial piece for a cherished pet or family member, you’ll be in the best hands.
I was sent A&R Jewellery Designs’ number from a friend of mine who had their memorial ashes jewellery done and it was the best thing I’ve done. The work Renée has done and the magic she created really went beyond my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the results and I have passed Renée’s details on to friends and family. I highly recommend her service.
If you are thinking about having a memorial piece made with your loved one’s ashes I can highly recommend Renée. She was so kind and patient with my daughter and me while we decided exactly what we would like. She explained the whole process and kept us informed while making our bespoke pieces. It has given me a great feeling of comfort knowing that my son is always with me.
Amazing service and fabulous jewellery from Renée! The choice was extensive and,after much deliberation, I chose a beautiful midnight blue with swirls in the shape of a heart for both pendant and earrings. They were beautifully presented in a gift box with the inscription of Mum’s name. I have had many compliments on the jewellery since. Highly recommended.
Renée created a beautiful memorial jewellery set in memory of my late husband. I also purchased memorial pebbles, again of great quality and made with sincerity. Altogether, it was a comforting experience, and I highly recommend her services.
We purchased some memorial items from Renée after sadly losing our dad last year. They were beautifully made, with some of his ashes incorporated into a design we requested. Renée is a lovely, kind and compassionate lady who was only too happy to listen to our ideas and bring them to fruition. I can highly recommend her.
I asked Renée to create two pieces of memorial jewellery using the ashes of my father and aunt. She made two heart-shaped pendants in which the ashes were incorporated very subtly. Renée listened carefully to my wishes and poured all her love into making them. She is incredibly talented and very reliable. I highly recommend her.
I am over the moon! I asked in a local Facebook group if anyone knew somewhere that made memorial jewellery and was given several names. I chose Renée after seeing the beautiful jewellery she created. I wanted one piece as a 21st-birthday gift for my niece, but I ended up buying two—one for her and one for me! I was able to choose exactly what I wanted by blending two different styles Renée showed me, and the results were simply perfect. My niece was delighted, and I received a gift too. Thank you, Renée!
I met Renée to discuss having jewellery made containing some of my husband’s ashes. She was very professional and caring, and suggested ideas I hadn’t even thought of. The whole process was handled with care and compassion, and I’m delighted with the earrings and pendant she made for me. ❤️
Renée made me two absolutely beautiful hearts containing my older son’s ashes. The colours were important to me, and they were perfect. Everything was handled so sensitively, and Renée was so kind and understanding. Thank you so much. 🕊️❤️

MEET RENÉE
I have never followed just one creative path. I’m an author, singer and memorial-jewellery designer—three very different forms of expression, yet each rooted in storytelling, memory and human connection.
Born into an Army family and raised between England, Germany and Guernsey, I later spent many years in Jersey before making my home in Spain. Along the way, I worked in the legal world, played music, wrote stories and discovered the deeply personal art of creating jewellery that holds the memory of someone loved.
Today, my life brings all of those threads together: writing books inspired by remarkable places, performing music that brings people together, and creating bespoke memorial pieces with care and respect.
Behind it all, I’m married to Alan, mum to our two adult children, Thomas and Katie, and thoroughly supervised by our two dogs, Poppy and Maia.
