Father's Day is Sunday 21st June this year and is a time to celebrate the men who shaped us — their strength, their humour, their quiet presence. But for those of us who have lost a father, it can also be one of the most tender days of the year. A day that arrives with both love and longing.
If you're looking for a meaningful way to honour your dad this Father's Day — or to support someone who is grieving — a piece of memorial jewellery can be a deeply personal and lasting tribute. Something to hold close, to wear with pride, and to carry his memory forward.
At Ashes by Victoria, we create handcrafted memorial jewellery for men that holds cremation ashes, or even a loved one's handwriting. Each piece is made with care, compassion, and the understanding that grief is as individual as the person you're remembering. We are posting about it now so you have time to have the perfect item made for you dad to cherish (lead times range from 4-6 weeks)
A Father's Day Gift Guide: Memorial Jewellery for Dad
Whether you're shopping for yourself, a sibling, or a friend who has lost their father, here are some of our most cherished pieces from our Men's Memorial Jewellery collection — each one a quiet celebration of a life well lived.
Unite Cremation Ash Leather and Silver Bracelet — £118
For the dad who was always by your side, the Unite Bracelet is a beautifully understated piece that holds a small amount of cremation ashes within a sterling silver bead, set against a hand-stitched leather band. Masculine, wearable, and quietly meaningful — it's the kind of piece you reach for every morning without thinking, and feel comforted by all day long.
Free engraving is available, so you can add a date, initials, or a word that meant something between just the two of you.
Starting from £118 — a thoughtful Father's Day memorial gift at an accessible price point.
Maverick Hidden Ash Dog Tag Necklace — from £185
For the dad who had a quiet strength about him, the Maverick Dog Tag Necklace carries cremation ashes discreetly within a solid sterling silver tag. Worn close to the heart, it's a piece that feels both personal and powerful — a nod to the men who didn't need to say much to make you feel safe.
Engrave it with his name, a meaningful date, or a short phrase that captures who he was. A truly special Father's Day memorial gift for grieving sons and daughters.
Bond Ashes in Glass Bracelet — from £193
The Bond Bracelet features a stunning fused glass bead that encases cremation ashes in a swirl of colour and light. No two beads are ever the same — just as no two fathers are. It's a piece that catches the eye and invites conversation, a beautiful way to keep his memory visible in the world.
Available in a range of glass colours to reflect his personality, and finished with free engraving on the sterling silver clasp.
Mettle Ashes in Glass Cufflinks — from £195
For the dad who always dressed well, or the son who wants to carry him to every important occasion — a wedding, a job interview, a milestone moment — the Mettle Cufflinks are an extraordinary tribute. Each cufflink contains a fused glass stone holding cremation ashes, set in sterling silver.
Wear them on the days that matter most, and feel him there with you. These are perhaps our most poignant piece of cremation ash jewellery for dad — elegant, enduring, and deeply personal.
Handwriting Cufflinks — Price on request
If your father left behind letters, cards, or notes — even just a signature — our Handwriting Cufflinks can preserve his actual handwriting in sterling silver. His words, his loops, his particular way of writing your name: captured forever in a pair of cufflinks you can wear for the rest of your life.
This is one of our most requested personalisation options, and it's easy to understand why. There is nothing quite like seeing someone's handwriting. It brings them back, just for a moment, in the most tender way.
Free Engraving & Handwriting Personalisation
Every piece in our Men's Memorial Jewellery collection can be personalised with free engraving — a name, a date, a short message, or a set of coordinates that meant something to you both. We also offer our unique handwriting personalisation service, where we recreate a loved one's actual handwriting in silver.
These details transform a beautiful piece of jewellery into something irreplaceable. Something that is entirely, unmistakably his.
How It Works
We know that entrusting us with your loved one's ashes is an act of profound trust, and we don't take that lightly. Our process is simple, secure, and handled with the utmost care. Once you've placed your order, we'll send you a small, secure ashes collection kit. You send us only a tiny amount — less than a teaspoon — and we do the rest.
Every piece is handcrafted to order, and we're here to guide you through every step of the process.
A Note on Father's Day When Grief Is Present
Father's Day can feel complicated when your dad is no longer here. It can bring up grief that you thought had softened, or remind you of all the Father's Days still to come without him. If that's where you are right now, we want you to know: that love doesn't go anywhere. It just needs somewhere to live.
That's what we make at Ashes by Victoria. Not just jewellery — but a place for love to live on.
If you'd like help choosing the right piece, or if you have questions about our process, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We're always here, and we'd be honoured to help you find the perfect Father's Day memorial gift for the dad you're missing.
