In Remembrance

About

Because remembering matters.

Hello, I'm Melissa, the person behind In Remembrance.

I'm the founder, designer and maker behind In Remembrance, a small independent business based in Cardiff, Wales, creating thoughtful memorial jewellery and keepsakes to help people remember those they love.

My business began back in 2011, originally under the name MW Studio. What started at my kitchen table grew into a business that has taken me on quite a journey over the years.

Along the way, something unexpected happened.

I began receiving requests from customers looking for something special to remember someone they had lost. Often, they weren't looking for traditional memorial jewellery or gifts. They wanted something simple, beautiful and meaningful. Something they could wear, carry or keep close without anyone else necessarily knowing its significance.

Those requests gradually shaped the direction of my business, and in 2023, MW Studio became In Remembrance.

Today, I create a collection of understated memorial jewellery, engraved keepsakes, Christmas decorations and thoughtful gifts, all designed to help people feel connected to someone they miss.

I believe that remembering someone doesn't always need to be obvious to everyone else.

Sometimes it's a necklace that looks like an everyday piece of jewellery but holds a small amount of ashes. Sometimes it's a keyring engraved with a name or a few meaningful words. And sometimes it's a Christmas decoration that brings someone special back into the celebrations, year after year.

The meaning is personal, and that's what makes each piece so special.

Made with care, from my studio to you

These days, I work from my garden studio in Cardiff, where every order is personally prepared by me.

From carefully engraving a name to wrapping a finished piece ready to be gifted, I take great care with every order because I understand that these aren't just ordinary purchases.

For some customers, it's a gift for a friend who is grieving. For others, it's something they've chosen for themselves to bring a little comfort or help them feel close to someone they love.

Whatever the reason, I know that behind every order is a person and a story that matters.

My hope is that the pieces I create become things you treasure for years to come. Not because they're expensive or extravagant, but because of what they represent.

Thank you for being here, for supporting my small business and, most importantly, for trusting me to create something that holds such personal meaning.
