Memorial jewelry to keep a loved one close
When someone is gone, it can help to carry something that belongs to them in your thoughts. This small collection gathers angel wings and winged hearts, the signs most often chosen to remember a person who has died. They are worn for yourself, or given when words fall short. We keep this selection short on purpose: only pieces that truly carry this meaning are here.
How to choose a memorial piece
- In words. The The Heart with Wings carries the phrase "A piece of my heart has wings". The The Enduring Spirit joins a heart, an angel wing and a cross, engraved for a brother, a mother, a husband or a daughter, among others.
- A winged heart. A love that remains. See the The Winged Heart or the The Angelic Heart, with two jewelled wings on a fine chain.
- A date in the year. The The Angelic Birthstone pairs an angel wing with the birthstone of a month you choose, often the month of the person remembered.
- Something more discreet. The The Angelic Pearl on a fine Y chain, the The Angelic Flight ring, or the The Angelic Embrace, a small angel on a woven cord that suits men and women alike.
- The guardian angel. Some prefer the image of an angel who watches over us. See the The Folded Wings or the The Crystal Guardian.
Giving memorial jewelry to someone who is grieving
A sympathy gift does not have to explain anything. Choose something simple that can be worn every day, and add a few words of your own with the name of the person they lost. If you are not sure of their taste, a fine chain with a single wing is rarely out of place. There is no right moment: for many people, a gesture made weeks or months later means just as much, because by then the cards have stopped arriving.
Questions
What does an angel wing necklace mean?
An angel wing is mostly worn in memory of someone who has died, or as a sign of feeling watched over. In common speech, people often say that a loved one has gained their wings.
What is a good sympathy gift for someone who lost a mother?
A piece that names the bond can mean a lot. The Enduring Spirit is engraved with the relationship, for example for a mother, and the Heart with Wings carries a short phrase of remembrance.
Can a memorial pendant hold ashes?
The Winged Heart is designed to hold a small remembrance, such as ashes or essential oil. The other pieces in this collection are worn as symbols: their page describes exactly what each one is.
Can men wear memorial jewelry?
Yes. The Enduring Spirit, the Angelic Flight ring and the Angelic Embrace bracelet are all suited to men as well as women.
