Can You Turn Pet Hair Into Jewelry?

Losing a pet is one of the hardest goodbyes, and a photo on a shelf does not always feel like enough. Many pet owners come to us wanting something they can actually hold, made from a small piece of their companion. The good news is that you can turn pet hair into jewelry. At Sands of Time, our artists work a small amount of your pet’s hair or fur into keepsakes like resin keychains, rings, and glass memorials, so a piece of them stays with you every day.

A Meaningful Way to Remember Your Pet

A keepsake made from your pet’s hair or fur is one of the most personal things you can keep.

Why Pet Owners Choose Hair and Fur Keepsakes

Hair holds a direct, physical connection to your pet. Using it, we build a keepsake around your specific companion, not a generic stand-in. It becomes something you can hold, wear, or carry with you.

How Much Hair or Fur Do We Need

You do not need much. Even a small clipping of hair or fur gives our artists enough to work with.

Our Pet Hair Keepsakes and Memorial Pieces

We offer several ways to preserve your pet’s hair, and a specialist artist handles each one:

• Resin keychains that keep your pet’s hair in its natural color
• Memorial rings that combine ashes and hair, or use hair alone
• Glass memorials that carry your pet’s hair in the finished piece

Pro Tip: The design is yours to shape. From a keychain to a ring to a glass piece, we match the keepsake to what feels right for you.

Resin Keychains that Preserve Natural Color

Our resin artist makes each keychain, working in the only material that safely preserves your pet’s hair exactly as it was. If your pet had a blonde, gray, or other coat, you will see that exact color inside the finished piece.

Rings that Turn Pet Hair Into Jewelry

We also create memorial rings, with two paths to choose from. Our ring artist, Johan, combines ashes and hair in his designs, which is meaningful when both a person and their pet have passed. A second artist works with hair alone, setting it down the center of a titanium band or arranging inlays alongside it.

Glass Memorials Made with Your Pet’s Hair

Our glass memorials can also be made with hair, and they work a little differently from our other pieces.

The In Essence Piece

There is one important caveat with glass. The hair will not appear as it originally was. During creation, the hair burns away and forms small carbon bubbles. We call this an “in essence” piece because you cannot see the hair itself, yet you know it is there.

What the Final Glass Piece Looks Like

In the finished glass, you will see microcarbon bubbles that flow throughout the artwork. Where you would normally see ashes, these bubbles are the remnants of your pet’s hair. The result is a flowing, one-of-a-kind design unique to your pet.

Key Takeaway: Resin keychains and rings keep your pet’s hair visible. Glass memorials hold it in essence, as carbon bubbles within the artwork. Both keep your pet close.
