Gina was so easy to work with and she went above and beyond to get my piece to me prior to a long trip. She takes the time to learn about your loved one and puts great care into making the piece a beautiful keepsake. I love the necklace and she also included an extra charm which was very thoughtful.

I received my beautiful ring very quickly and it was even more beautiful that I have imagined! It is an amazing work of art. I was really moved by the note from the artist. It shows that she really does what she’s doing out of passion. I was really happy to have the ashes from my beloved bulldog in such a beautiful and delicate reminder. It is helping me healing. I can’t thank her enough for everything.

This ring is PERFECT. My dog was my entire world. There was nothing I wanted more than a cremation ring for him, but I was hesitant about sending his ashes off and trusting them with a stranger. After reading reviews on Gina's page and messaging with her a little bit I was confident I could trust her. Not only is my ring more perfect than I could ever imagine, Gina also included an extra pendant, which I am going to be gifting my mother. I was SO thankful for this extra surprise and I know my mom is going to love it beyond belief, as Moe was the center of all of our worlds. Gina contacted me consistently giving me updates, asking of any stories or pictures of Moe (only if I wanted to share--which I of course did) and treated me with the pure kindness throughout the entire process. She is precious, just like her jewelry.

I was blown away by the final product! I ordered a womens ring and 3 mens rings. It was nice to receive a personalized note, and he jewelry box the rings came in was also very nice. I sent more than needed ashes, and was surprised to find 4 small pendants included in the order. Gina responded to messages very quickly, and she even allowed me to add a ring to my order without an additional shipping fee. This is the nicest cremation jewelry I have come across, and I scoured the internet for the perfect piece. Highly recommend!

I came across this ring and I knew this was what I wanted. Gina was so kind and respectful through the whole process. I will forever treasure this beautiful piece and always remember my experience.

Gina will be more than happy to help you

GINA IS AMAZING!
I don’t know that I can find the words to adequately describe how much Gina has helped me through the most difficult of times. In the weeks following the loss of Porter, our sweet bulldog, I was simply devastated. I knew I had to find some way to honor the love we had for our boy. When I came across Gina’s website and read her blog and the many positive reviews, I knew she was someone that would understand the love and loss I was feeling. She was wonderful from the very beginning and helped me through every decision – big and small. She listened, made thoughtful suggestions and worked with me on every detail to create the perfect remembrance piece. She was also genuinely interested in hearing about Porter and that meant the world to me. The completed piece was more than I hoped for and warms my heart when I wear it. Gina is truly an amazing person who puts her heart into her work. I cannot thank her enough for the beautiful pendant she made me/Porter and for her kindness throughout the process.
Thank you, Gina, you're the best!

If I could give the Gina and her work 10 stars, I would. From start to finish this was the most pleasant transaction I've ever had online. Gina really cares about her clients and about the beloved pets we've lost our hearts to. My rose gold, heart-shaped ring is absolutely beautiful, just like my kitty was. I received it today and already it is bringing me great comfort. If you have any doubts, know that I believe it is a fitting tribute to my companion of over 15 years. The people I've shown it to love it. And Gina was kind enough to write personal notes and to include a little gift at the end of the process, too. I am so pleased (and I think my little girl in heaven is happy too).

I honestly cannot thank Gina enough for her beautiful work! Before choosing this necklace, I considered getting an diamond made from his ashes but did not get it because I realized most of the organic matter is lost in that process. Gina's process expertly and beautifully incorporates the ashes directly into the necklace. I received my necklace today and it turned out even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I will never be able to have my baby physically with me, but this allows me to carry a part of him wherever I go and gives me great comfort. Gina was incredibly understanding and compassionate during the entire process. I am so glad that I chose Gina to do this for me. THANK YOU, GINA!

I lost my furbaby, my beautiful best friend and companion, she was my whole world for 9 years, but she was snatched away so horribly and suddenly in feb. My heart has been broken and she has taken such a huge part of it with her. I needed to have her with me always, my life wouldn't be the same without her. And although its just her ashes, its a part of her, my audrey, with me, holding my hand always. I can't put into words what it means to me, and how grateful i am for close by me making me such a beautiful piece of jewelry. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart.

It had taken me a very long time to write this review because it truly is difficult for me to put into words how much I love this ring. I lost my beloved pup after 14.5 years. I was so broken-hearted. I knew I wanted some piece of jewelry with my dogs ashes and I spent much time looking through Etsy. I knew as soon as I saw this one- I had found it. Then I began to work with the artist. Again it is hard to find the right words to describe how wonderful she is. This is truly her calling. She is kind, caring, genuine and trustworthy. The day her ring arrived I tore the package open, slid it on my finger and just cried. I love it SO much and that was the first day I actually felt better since sayin goodbye to my boy. It is so beautiful and I Am so grateful for the joy it brings me to have him near me again.

I ordered this piece from Gina after scouring Etsy and the internet for an artisan who could create something beautiful and sophisticated from my sweet dog Wilson's ashes. I kept coming back to Gina's Etsy store, and it took me forever to decide on the rectangular pendant. It arrived yesterday and it is absolutely stunning: a unique piece that people will ask about but that doesn't scream 'pet ashes.' Every step of the way, Gina was writing me, letting me know the great care she was taking with the ashes and thanking me for letting her be the one to create something with them. She even sent me a small round charm made of more of the ashes that I can put on a bracelet. Gina was an absolute delight to work with, and her creations are simply gorgeous.

Gina created a beautiful ring in memory of my beloved cat, Kittyboo. Not only is the jewelry beautiful but Gina was so kind and professional. She made a really hard situation a lot easier. I'm so pleased to have a piece of Kittyboo with me forever and I've already gotten a lot of compliments on my ring. People are so surprised when they hear that it contains ashes (A lot of memorial jewelry can be really gaudy but this ring is tasteful and stunning). I loved knowing that Gina wanted to know about Kittyboo and our relationship and I feel like this ring was made with love. This is worth every penny and Gina is an absolute angel for providing this service for people!

This was a lovely piece, and I think about my sweet old pup when I wear it. It came earlier than expected which is always a positive. Gina is a most compassionate person and a delight to work with. I plan to purchase again in the near future.

Gina made what could have been a very painful process into an absolute pleasure. I'm head-over-heels in love with the product and I've barely removed it since it arrived. Gina is so helpful, so kind, and so sensitive to the grieving process, and I felt like I had barely shipped her my beloved dog's ashes before my beautiful ring arrived. I won't hesitate to use Gina again in the future when it comes the sad time to add another of my companions onto my finger in the form of another beautiful stackable ring.

Beautiful way to memorialize my recently passed 18.5 year old kitty. Gina is very communicative and is great throughout the whole process. I ended up putting this solitaire on a different (shorter) chain that I already had, and love that it's simple enough to wear every day. Love that now I have a quality memento for years to come.

My heart is filled with so much gratitude for the beautiful ring that Gina created to help me keep my dear husband so close to me. It took me months to find the perfect piece of jewelry that I wanted wear that held his ashes. I fell in love with this product when I first saw it and am even more in love with it now that it's been created. Wearing this ring brings me so much comfort.
Gina was very professional and caring and answered each email that I sent quickly. When she received the ashes she contact me to let me know so that I didn't worry if they made it to their destination and I received my ring back in a timely manner. She showed the utmost respect and care for my husbands cremains.
Gina, you have a special gift to be able to create such beauty and I am thrilled that I found you. I am forever grateful

I love every thing about the piece Gina made for me. The simplicity of the kit she provides and the care she put into the piece made this process easier on me during a time of grieving. Once she received the kit, it only took 10 days to have the ring on my hand and my heart feel better to have my baby back with me, forever. I highly recommend Gina and her shop.

I am beyond grateful to Gina for creating such an amazing legacy to remember our loved ones. I received my ring in the mail this past week and it turned out better than I had expected. She communicated with me along the way as I had a few questions to be answered before I mailed my ashes to her. She was prompt, respectful, and always caring in her interactions with me. Thank you so much for what you do Gina, my ring is my most treasured possession and I cannot thank you enough. Everett thanks you too I am sure because now he is always with me. 💙

I've been wearing the ring and necklace for a month. They are absolutely beautiful. I have metal allergies and can only wear pure material. No reactions! The finish of the ring stone got tiny scratches so I've been careful. But so far they both held up pretty well.
Gina is wonderful and such a sweet, caring person. I'm very happy with my jewelry and now my dog is always with me. I'll cherish the memories of him forever. Thank you Gina for your beautiful work♡

Gina truly showed the deepest compassion during this hard process. She treated me with kindness and gentleness, was showing how she understands the pain of losing my Boston Terrier Rosie. The ring is beautiful and came quickly. Throughout the whole process I felt supported and respected, and like Rosie was being honored by Gina. And now I can wear a beautiful symbol of my love to her on my hand forever.

I can't even express in words how much I love this ring. My dog, Axl, was diagnosed with cancer and I had to put him down within a week. His death was one of the most painful things I've gone through in a long time. He was my best friend and I often joked that I wish all relationships were as easy as ours was. I was (still am) devastated over his loss. To cope with my feelings, I started looking for ways to always keep his ashes with me. When I saw the option to turn his ashes in to stone within a ring, I couldn't help but feel like this was the perfect idea. Now I will always be able to have him with me. Gina was so thoughtful and considerate of my situation. She also returned the ashes that she didn't use. Plus the ring is absolutely gorgeous. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you.

I can't thank Gina enough for the gift of the pieces she made for me. Thank you thank you thank you. They are each so beautiful, simple and understated. It's exactly what I wanted. I was having a wave of grief when they arrived and they have provided a sense of comfort that I didn't know was possible. Gina was so kind and empathetic from the beginning, making every step of the process seamless and stress-free. She communicated freely and regularly and made me feel comfortable the whole time. I would recommend Gina to ANYONE who is considering pet memorial pieces. Much love.

I can’t say enough good things about this shop and Gina. As soon as I placed my order Gina messaged me a very thoughtful message letting me know about my piece of jewelry, and every step along the way she was in touch with me.

I am incredibly grateful to have found her and I would recommend this shop to anyone.

If I could give Gina a 10 star review I would. I reached out to her with my concerns and the background of the loved one I lost. Gina was there every step of the way! She explained everything step by step and was so supportive through the whole process! When I recieved my order I didn't think I would be so overwhelmingly happy.
It's perfect. The pictures do not do her work justice. Not only is my ring more than I could have ever imagined, Gina worked with me like we had previously known one another. She is truly a special soul and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! I am truly blessed to have stumbled upon her page and I'm so grateful that I did!

I could not have imagined a more perfect person to do an amazing piece of jewelry I carry with me every single day. Gina is the most amazing, genuine, kind hearted person I have ever had the chance of knowing. I unfortunately lost my little bun who I had for 8 years and it was the most painful, heartbreaking experience I have ever gone through.. Gina was always an ear to listen when I needed. To be quite honest.. I stared my buns cremation box not knowing how I would react when I opened it, to how I would be able to put her in a little vile to send off to Gina.. but reading over our conversation it built my confidence to know that the person receiving her would take the most care of her.
Gina I honestly cannot thank you enough, you are an incredible person with an infectious personality.. you were my light through all of this

I cannot express enough how extremely happy I am with my ring. The minute I placed it on my finger I instantly felt connected to my dad. The ring is beautiful and knowing that he will be with me physically every day of my life makes my heart happy. I have never owned a piece of jewelry or any materialistic item, that I have felt so deeply for. I have only had it for one day and each time I look down at my hand, I cry. The beautiful swirl represents my dad's beautiful smile. This entire experience has been absolutely perfect. Gina has given me something that I will cherish forever.

During the most absolute tragic moment in my life, I needed comfort and a way to feel like my sister was still with me. When I found this ring, I immediately loved it, but was nervous about sending ashes and the whole process because I had limited access to her ashes. Gina immediately responded to my message and spent 30mins on the phone with me. She reassured me of the process and helped build my trust in her. I received my ring and immediately felt peace and joy. Gina is amazing and I am eternally grateful for her during this tough time! She went above and beyond to soothe me and make this whole process smooth.
