Still Here: The Heart, Heritage, and Craft Behind Yma O Hyd Memorial Jewellery
When we experience loss, whether of a cherished family member or a devoted pet, finding comfort often comes down to keeping their spirit close. Here at Yma O Hyd, based in the heart of Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, we handcraft bespoke memorial jewellery designed to carry those precious bonds forward into every day.
Our name, Yma O Hyd, translates to "Still Here." It is a phrase deeply rooted in Welsh heritage, carrying a message of endurance, resilience, and everlasting connection. Every ring, pendant, and charm we craft serves as a physical reminder that love never leaves us—it simply takes on a new form.
Handcrafted in Carmarthenshire with Purpose and Care
Behind every piece created at Yma O Hyd is a deep respect for the stories and memories you entrust to us. From our studio in South Wales, we work with a wide range of precious materials—including sterling silver, gold, and durable surgical steel—to turn delicate inclusions into timeless keepsakes.
We work closely with clients across Wales and the UK to craft personalized pieces using:
Ashes: Carefully encased within vibrant or subtle resin gemstones that reflect your loved one's spirit.
Hair or Fur Clips: Expertly set into rings, lockets, or charms, capturing a unique physical touchstone.
Pet and Equestrian Memorials: Dedicated designs crafted specifically for cherished dogs, cats, horses, and companion animals.
A Respectful, Guided Process from Start to Finish
We know that ordering memorial jewellery requires trust. That is why we have made our ordering process as seamless, transparent, and respectful as possible:
