LOVE IN A JEWEL® is a New Zealand, Jewellery House with love at its heart.
We are Joachim and Tracy van Oostrum, the creators and makers of high quality Ash & Love Note Jewellery.
Ashes - Memorial - Jewellery
We understand how hard it is to lose a Loved One. Our collection started from a place of personal need.
"I find myself holding my Pendant many times a day. It is very comforting and a good feeling" - Tracy van Oostrum
Since 2016, our special and carefully handcrafted collection of Ashes Jewellery has helped bring comfort to people.
It is an enduring and subtle way to hold your love close forever.
A stunning piece of jewellery and only you need to know about the precious contents held safely inside.
Jewellery which really is as beautiful on the inside, as it is on the outside.
How it works...
Every design has a compartment to hold your Loved One's Ashes, Hair or Handwriting.
You receive polaroid photos showing the Ashes (or other keepsake) held inside the jewellery.
Photos are taken before Joachim professionally and securely seals the lid on forever.
All remaining Ashes or Hair will be returned to you with your finished piece.
Please be assured we make every LOVE IN A JEWEL with care and integrity, like we are making it for our own family.

I have just opened up my beautiful pendant. From the beautiful packaging, everything inside is so special and so thoughtful. It means so much to have my mum with me. The pendant is simply exquisite and I can’t thank you both enough.

I was absolutely blown away with my pendant from Love in a Jewel! Such great care, attention and communication. I am stoked with my pendant with a beautiful note from my family (who are overseas) - this is such a special piece that I will treasure forever. Highly recommend!
— Sarah Kavanagh
Honestly the most beautiful thing I have ever received after the passing of my soul animal. It came packaged to perfection. Working in the veterinary industry, I have already recommended your company to a number of people and will continue to do so.

It is not easy to find a gift that really shows how much you love someone. But a LOVE IN A JEWEL does that. This is fine jewellery with real love held inside forever.
A special family lunch was organised to present the charm bracelets and he put on the same suit he wore to the hospital when the girls were born.
"It came from a place deep in our hearts.
It is an honour to make this special jewellery for people"
