Kate Douglas Jewellery
Based in South West Scotland, I am a jewellery designer maker specialising in cremation ashes pieces.
A recent birthday gift commission for a very special young ladies 30th from her Mum and Dad - incorporating that beautiful Ethiopian opal I shared recently. Three solid silver bangles, one to represent each decade and the birthstone for October. Lovely feedback from my fabby customer too! ππ» feeling blessed for the trust given to me to create such special pieces for special moments π
Officially obsessed with my new nails and new pumpkin pecan pie cuticle oil! youβre a legend. Nail day is always a happy day for me, fabby company, seriously interesting chat and beautiful nails! What more could a gal want?! Feeling the autumnal and Halloween vibes also π§‘π€
Happy hump day lovely people! Iβve been organising my mica powders this morningβ¦β¦. What a beautiful array of colours! Did you know, Mica is derived from a natural stone mineral that boasts shiny flakes. Once the mica stone is ground into a powder, mica powder is created. The powder is basically a soft type of fine glitter that has a coloring or dying effect when it comes into contact with a myriad of different surfaces and materials. These powders are what I use to create my clients cremation ashes jewellery pieces. I use only the best powderβs available in the industry .co.uk and are my go to suppliers
Rest in peace Maβam. Your duty is done. What a very sad day for Great Britain.

I am extremely proud to show you my latest cremation ashes piece, containing the ashes of my clients beloved late husband.
My client chose a mix of colours for the ashes to be set in, Dreamy Aquamarine and Kingfisher Natural mica powders by Arteza, which give this piece such a vivid and piercing colour.
Set into solid 9ct yellow gold, I think youβll agree itβs a really striking piece, which I know is already bringing a huge amount of comfort to the wearer.
If youβre considering commissioning a piece of cremation ashes jewellery, please donβt hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
Fatherβs Day keyrings have been flying out the door this week!
A massive thank you to everyone who has ordered π₯°π₯°π₯°
Still plenty of time to order for Sunday 20th June.
Just pop me a message with your requests! These are Β£20 each, all handmade from solid copper and can be posted.
