Description

Lock of hair bead for Pandora bracelets, 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 charm bead 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 a choice of beads. 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

lock of hair bead hair or fur sending kits
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!

Our charm bead insert hole size is around 4.5mm and should fit most Pandora, Biagi or Chamilia bracelets etc. For an interesting history on the European charm beads have a look at this Wikipedia page.

Thought I would share something that is precious to me, my Mummy Pandora. Currently it has 5 charms on it and they all mean so much to me. My Memory Makers @memorymakersuk charm of Ava’s fingernail from when she was a month old (from Mothercare), my “It’s a Girl” charm from my work colleagues when I went on Mat leave, my @treeofopals handmade charm with a lock of Ava’s hair in, an Owl and her owlet from my Brother and his gf on my first birthday as a Mummy, and my Lace stopper to make sure they all stay on safely. On the Moments silver bracelet with Pandora Rose clasp. 💚 #themuddymummyblog #mummy #pandora #treeofopals #mothercare #makingmemories #memorymakers #motherhood #bracelet #special

    I love this idea and I was not disappointed with my bead, my daughter has red hair and Nikki was able to help me chose a colour bead to compliment her hair, lovely item made with care and skill and delivered in a handmade bag making it feel extra special.

    Thank you so much for my beautiful charm made with my son’s lock of hair and an emerald to represent his May birthday. It is so beautifully made, and so unique! I’m just waiting for my 6 month old daughter to grow enough hair so I can have one made for her with an aquamarine enclosed. I cannot recommend Nicola’s charms and jewelry enough, she puts so much time and effort into her work and this shines through!

    After losing my mum this year, it was my wish to have a jewellery piece made with her hair for my sister. I got it ordered for her birthday and even though I ordered it a bit late Tree of Opals still managed to have it completed and sent out to me on time. My sister LOVED it and im genuinely very grateful for them making jewellery like this. Thank you to Nikki and team from Edinburgh
