Lock Of Fur Necklace from A Crafty Mummy UK
Back in April as part of my Etsy Wishlist, I mentioned that I was hoping to get a lock of fur necklace from A Crafty Mummy UK.
As some of you know, we knew Sal was on her final times. We had been given a couple of months in December and yet, she managed to make it all the way to April.
I have to admit with everything going on I had sort of forgotten to get a lock of fur for this. However, a few weeks before we said goodbye, I had picked a little clump from her jumper and popped it in a keepsake box. So off that went to A Crafty Mummy UK.
The Process.
Angela the lovely lady behind A Crafty Mummy UK spent a lot of time talking me.
We started with the shape and size of the necklace I would like. Then moved onto colours and patterns.
I have to admit in the end I got Ash involved as I wasn’t quite sure. I have an affinity with the colour blue and normally that’s what grabs me with anything. However, there was something about this bird print which caught both mine and Ash’s eye.
After all, where is Sal now, but flying high and watching over us?
Once, we had designed the design and popped some fur into the post it was just a matter of waiting.
I had said to Angela, I didn’t particularly want something that had people asking what’s that? I wanted it subtle, something more for me.
So I was interested to see what the finished product looked like.
The Finished Item.
I have to admit I love my necklace, she really managed to pull together my requests.
The fur is subtle enough to not get everyone asking, while still allowing me to feel like she is close by.
The finished piece feels sturdy and hardwearing. I don’t worry about having it on, all day long and carrying that little bit of Sal with me.
My pendant arrived in a little velvet pouch with a lovely quality, simple silver plated chain.
Angela herself is obviously very careful and delicate at what can, of course, be a sensitive time in a person’s life. She looks after your fur or hair and creates something beautiful to keep with you forever. While working with you to make sure it fully meets your own personal needs and tastes.
It is worth noting, that, of course, Angela can work with human or pet hair. You could even look to
have your child’s first curl put into such a piece. Angela can also make other items such as broaches,
keyrings, cufflinks and other bespoke pieces. Get in touch with her with your ideas at
acraftymummy@icloud.com.
If you are looking for a way to preserve fur or hair, then please do look up A Crafty Mummy UK and check out all she has to offer. While you can keep up with new makes and chat with her personally on her Facebook and Instagram.
What do you think of my lock of fur necklace, is it something you would have made as a keepsake?
Full disclosure: Angela kindly gifted me this necklace after the loss of Sally, it had been something I was going to buy from her and we were working on it already (as per my original Etsy wishlist). I wanted to return her kind gesture by sharing a post on my necklace.
Pin it!

Such a beautiful necklace and I love that you can get to keep a bit of Sal with you no matter where you go. It seems like Angela was really accommodating to what you wanted and did an amazing job x
She really was which made all the difference, to be honest as you know it’s all being looked after.
This is such a nice idea to always have a bit of Sal with you, but it definitely is subtle x
Thank you – I didn’t want something which would get people talking and asking I just wanted something special to me.
I am amazed by this idea. I never thought something like this before the necklace looks quiet beautiful.

What a cool way to remember a pet. Having the fur safe in the necklace sure does help with grieving.
Most definitely I know I would lose it if it was loose so this really helps.
Aww such a lovely idea and memento. A great idea, I think these will become more and more popular.
I think so as well, you can have them made at any time as well – so it’s like a living piece of her which feels nicer.
What a lovely keepsake!! And the design is absolutely beautiful. It’s wonderful you can cherish it always.
It’s lovely isn’t it – she had so many gorgeous ones to choose from but this one was just the right one for me.
oh my gosh i so appreciate something like this- not only is this amazingly gorgeous but i love the value of it too!

Keeping a lock of fur with sentimental value is such a nice idea. It not only has value but looks so nice on when wearing it.
Most definitely it is something that will never lose its personal value, it means so much.
What a beautiful sentimental gift xx
My mum recently lost her dog at the grand age of 13, I wish I’d known about this kind of keepsake sooner as it would have been wonderful for my mum
Oh I am so sorry to hear this 🙁 it is so hard when you lose a pet 🙁
That is an AMAZING idea. My friend had a necklace made with her dog’s ashes, but I also like the idea of fur as well. Thank you for sharing this, and I am so incredibly sorry for your loss.
Thank you she was a very special little pup.
I was thinking of doing something with her ashes as well, but I love the fact she was alive and happy when the fur came off, for some reason that makes me feel happy.
This is so lovely! I can’t bare to think about not having Casey but when the time comes I know something like this would comfort me xx
It is horrid – I still expect to see her pop up and come at me with her tail wagging, she’ll never be able to be replaced for sure, she had such a special heart.
Such a lovely keepsake for you. To have a piece of Sally close to you every day is wonderful. It’s beautiful too. A great service.
Most definitely as well I was so impressed with everything and it’s just a unique idea.
The necklace looks lovely. I’m glad that the whole process was smooth and that you’ve got exactly what you were looking for. Hugs xx
Thank you so much – it really is something so special to me now.
