On sending ashes
It took some strength to send out my daughter’s ashes, but I am so happy I did. I am so grateful to Southern Chic Keepsakes for the professional job they did and sending back the ashes so respectfully.

Straight answers
Questions people ask before they order
How much ashes (or breastmilk) do I send?
About ¼ teaspoon of ashes — ½ teaspoon if you're ordering several pieces or the pocket knife. For breastmilk, 2 ml is plenty. Anything we don't use comes back to you with your finished piece.
Can one piece hold more than one loved one?
Yes. Many customers include two or more people or pets in a single piece. Send each in its own labeled bag and tell us whether you'd like them blended together or kept side by side.
Can I include hair or fur along with ashes?
Absolutely — hair, fur, dried flowers, fabric, burial dirt and ashes can all be combined in one piece.
I don't know what colors or stones I want.
That's completely normal, and you don't need to decide today. Leave the color field blank and Sarah will text you after you order with suggestions based on your piece. If you'd rather not choose, the default stone is pearl.
How long will it take?
The quoted turnaround is 4–6 weeks from the day your inclusions arrive, and most pieces ship sooner. Need it by a date — a birthday, anniversary or holiday? Mention it in your order notes.
Is it safe to mail ashes?
Please follow our full mailing instructions for packaging and shipping your inclusions. If you have any questions before sending them, contact Sarah.
Is the jewelry solid or plated?
Sterling silver (925) pieces are solid sterling, and 14K options are solid gold. Rose gold and gold finishes on sterling pieces are plated. Every piece carries a lifetime warranty.
Can I add names, dates or engraving?
Ask in the "Share about your design" box when you order. Some styles can hold an inscription, and Sarah will tell you exactly what's possible for the piece you've chosen.
I'm local to Fort Myers — can I drop off instead of mailing?
Mention it in your order notes and Sarah will reach out to arrange the best option for you.

Easy to work with!
Easy to work with! I opted for a higher metal quality and the price change was a smooth transition. The piece took almost 4 weeks to craft and be delivered.

Beautiful ring!
I absolutely love this ring. Losing my soul dog has been incredibly hard, and having something so beautiful and meaningful that I can wear every day means more than I can say. It gives me a special way to keep him close to me wherever I go. You can truly see the care that went into creating it.

My ring is absolutely perfect! It is everything I could have ever wanted and more
My ring is absolutely perfect! It is everything I could have ever wanted and more. I wanted a ring that would represent my late husband and our marriage of 30 yrs after his passing. I couldn’t be more happy. I love it!

The necklace was absolutely stunning
The necklace was absolutely stunning. She was able to make a color that isn’t typically offered. She had great communication throughout the entire seamless process. I would absolutely recommend this small business for anyone looking to carry their loved one with them

I did not plan on getting anything made with my husband's ashes in it until I saw this ring. My engagement ring is a coffin and it was just meant to be when I saw this. It turned out even better then I could ever imagine. From the first moment I made the order until the day I received my ring everything was so smooth. Thank you for making a ring for a weirdo like myself!
I was overly satisfied with Sarah's company.
Not only did she communicate the entire process to meet all my needs, but she was also above my expectations with her timely service. My product is one of a kind and I couldn't be happier. I will absolutely be using this company again.
Sarah was so easy work work with! She sent me a text when she received my dads ashes, and got my ring created before the 4-6 weeks that were promised. My ring arrived right before my dads celebration of life! Couldn't be happier to have a piece of my dad with me all the time.
I ordered my necklace after the loss of my first pregnancy. Using the pregnancy test cap for a necklace was something I’ve never thought to do but it turned out SO beautiful. Communication was fantastic and direct. My order also came in quickly after sending out my cap. I can tell how much time and effort the creator puts into these projects. I couldn’t ask for a better piece to memorialize my baby. It means so much to me and brings me a little peace to know I can carry it with me everyday
