Description
Hair Channel Ring for men and suitable for everybody, made with resin. We can place your loved ones’ hair, your little one’s first curl or a little of your pets’ fur into a ring with crystal clear resin. Using locks of human hair in jewellery has a long and rich tradition in many cultures which you can read more about in this Wiki article.
We will respectfully cast only your loved one’s hair or fur into resin and give you sample piece to check you’re happy with the colours. You can see Nikki’s YouTube tutorials here and know that I never film without your permission. I’m considered an expert and offer advanced courses in making memorial jewellery, so you’re in safe hands. You might see my designs and stock images elsewhere because other memorial artists buy them from me over on Keepsaker Supplies (you’re welcome to buy from there if you’d rather DIY!)
lock of hair colours
You can view our colour option galleries here (click) for lots of examples of pieces using that colour mix. Each piece will look unique because of the natural colours of the hair or fur and we can’t predict the results. The photos in the gallery are EXAMPLES and the results will vary. We will use our best efforts with white hair, which is clear in resin, to give the hair some depth and bounce some light off the strands. If you’d like us to use grey, white, salt and pepper or very light blonde hair then it may or may not show up in the resin, have a look at this gallery
We’ll send you a kit a week or so after you order and here’s some advice on sending it in, please read it. It’s really important you keep some hair back just in case. You can send us a photo on our Facebook page of the amount you have, so we can tell you how much of it we need.
Optional Extras
You can request some extras in your piece by clicking here. For example, our forget me not flower and gold leaf are very popular – please make sure you see the example photos (as always) to ensure you have a good idea of how they might look. Usually, less is more!

Ring Size
You can choose “send sizer” from the ring size dropdown above and we will post one out with your kit. It’s no extra charge. As the band is 5mm wide it will automatically be made a size bigger to allow for the width. Flat bands are popular options for cremation jewelry for men and we can make any size up to Z+8 or more. Please do not use a tape measure! Request an Inclusive Ring Sizer if you think your size might be smaller or larger than the usual sizer. See our terms and conditions for more info on ring sizing and responsibilities.
engraving your lock of hair ring
Engraving is done in Arial font as standard, but please let us know if you’d prefer another font such as Times New Roman, Vivaldi, Amazone BT, or Silver South Serif & Script in the comments of the product before adding it to the basket. Click on each font to see it “in action” with your chosen words. We can work with any font, please get in touch to discuss alternatives. Write *heart emoji* instead of trying to type or paste it in.

We have blogs with memorial quotes here and for image engraving see this page – you can add handwriting, fingerprints, footprints, paw prints and handprints or a special pattern.
Ring Stack
This listing is just for the ring itself. You can accompany it with a Wide Band Ring or Slim Stacking Ring.
Nikki’s YouTube Tutorial
If you’d prefer to DIY this bead you can purchase supplies over on Keepsaker Supplies and follow a tutorial (channel beads coming soon). I have been teaching people how to make cremation ashes European style beads in person and online since 2016.
