What Does The Ring Come With?
All jewellery pieces come with a Prairie Keepsake embellished jewellery box and card inside indicating when the keepsake was made and whom it was made for/ honours.
If you would like: Tell us a little bit about your story to help create the perfect piece for you (ie. - breastfeeding for one year after NICU stays and supply loss, funeral flowers to honour my late grandmother her favourite colour was purple, etc). Please also indicate at checkout how you would like the piece to look. This helps to create the perfect jewellery keepsake tailored to your taste.
Turn Around Time
Turn around time for these rings is 6-10 weeks from keepsake arrival to us.
Quality and Care
Please note that our jewellery will not turn your skin green. However, keep in mind rose and yellow gold plating is more likely than white plated jewellery to eventually scratch in spots if worn daily.
Solid gold jewellery will prevent this but cost reflects cost of materials due to its heirloom quality. Resin stones must be taken care of regardless of metal material as resin is likely to yellow or scratch if care instructions are not followed.
Real gemstones will be added to solid gold pieces only as this is done by a ring smith.
Materials
Materials
Jewellery pieces are made using layers of 3A quality UV resin and 1:1 hardener and resin. Your keepsakes (such as breastmilk, cremation ashes, flowers, a lock of hair, dried umbilical cord, dried placenta, clothing fibres, special sand or soil, etc) are preserved within these layers of resin to create a stand alone stone / pendant or within the jewellery bezel.
Our rings consist of sterling silver or 14k gold plated sterling silver. We do have the option to purchase solid 14k gold pieces in white, yellow or rose gold.
Gemstones in plated rings are lab created cubic zirconia cabochons in corresponding birthstone colours. Real diamonds and other gemstones available in certain rings.
Our necklace chains are 14k gold plated sterling silver. Some jump hoops may contain brass alloy. All materials are nickel free.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
All resin jewellery should be handled with great care to prevent potential scratching and yellowing of the resin over time. Gold plated and sterling silver jewellery are prone to scratching / wearing if care is not taken.
Think of your jewellery piece as a prized heirloom handed down to you by your great grandmother - it should be saved and worn only for special occasions and not daily.
Every day use is at your risk and discretion. Certain activities however should be avoided to preserve the life of your resin jewellery:
1. Remove before showering or bathing
2. Avoid application of lotion while wearing
3. Remove before exercising or engaging in any activity that will cause excessive sweating
4. Avoid using perfume / harsh chemicals while wearing jewellery
5. Remove before sleeping
