Ashes Memorial Jewellery was founded by Julia Usher. Julia trained as a contemporary jeweller and silversmith at the Birmingham School of Jewellery, located in the heart of the jewellery quarter and has been an established jeweller for 14 years. Ashes Memorial Jewellery was founded after Julia lost a loved one and she was unable to find any unusual memorial jewellery to commemorate her loved one. Julia spent a year developing the first collection of signature memorial jewellery and developed the technique of rolling cremation ashes or hair onto silver or gold.
