About Us
“The Eternity Heart Fine Memorial Jewelry” has been created to comfort those who have experienced the loss of a loved one and wish to remain connected to that person through a unique and personalized hand crafted jewelry piece.
As both designer and manufacturer we are able to customize each piece according to specification. This includes modifications of the Eternity Heart (such as the addition of diamonds) or the remodeling of personal jewelry to incorporate a loved one’s cremains. Our goal is to create a unique, hand crafted jewelry piece that will serve as a loving memorial as well as an exquisite piece of fine jewelry.
