Hello! My name is Elle, and I’m the face behind the creations. I’d like to get a little personal & let you know a little bit about my story and why I do what I do.

One of the questions I get asked the most is, “Don’t you get freaked out handling peoples ashes?”

And, quite honestly, not at all. Working with ashes is probably one of the most comforting and ethereal things I have ever experienced. '

When I was 23, I moved 3.5hrs away from my hometown of portsmouth to work for a company in chesterfield. One day, on March 8th 2013, I was called into an office and told that I needed to call my mum as she had some upsetting news for me. My first immediate thought was that our family cat had died and that was enough to almost bring me to tears all on its own! My friend that I was with told me it wasn’t that & I should really just call my mum. knowing it wasn’t my cat, I couldn’t think what else could be quite so devastating that she would need to call me at work. But I dialed her number, she answered the phone and with that I hear some words formed into a sentence that I had never before imagined would be put together. 

At the age of just 28 years old, my big brother had unexpectedly passed away & we would never see him again. It has always been difficult for me to explain how that moment felt. In an instant, life is no longer the same. Its as if I physically felt the natural trajectory of my mind & my body, that had served me every day until that moment, suddenly shut down and reboot and here I was, now living in a timeline where my brother didn’t exist. And, I guess since then, I’ve just been waiting and hoping the system reboots again and I’m back in the timeline where he’s now in his 40’s. we spend weekends together at the end of every month and talk about life. We joke about who is getting more grey hairs and wrinkles. We find any opportunity to escape reality to travel & explore & make music.

However, since I knew that none of that was truly possible, I didn’t want to give up on his life or adapt to him ‘not being here’ anymore. As far as I was concerned, he was here. He was everywhere. And I liked that feeling. I liked that it made me feel better. I notice the signs, I have the dreams, I send my private messages & have my private moments. I do truly believe, he is there whenever I really need him. The very first pendant I made was one for myself and I wear it everywhere.

So, although I can’t see him, I know he’s still there through every experience in my life. Watching from around my neck. Taking it all in from a better place. And that feeling alone is comforting and ethereal for me. I have his ashes sat at my work desk & ill often ask him to welcome the spirit of the person who’s ashes I’m working with and keep them entertained while I do my thing. It’s teamwork!

It is also such an honour & privilege to be trusted with something that means so much to someone & to be able to give your loved ones ashes a place they can shine in their truest & rawest form.
