Our Story

In 2008, my family’s world was turned upside down. My beloved younger sister, Karen, was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Karen wasn’t just a sister—she was a light in our lives, radiating laughter, hope, and incredible strength, even in the darkest of times. Losing her in 2009 left a void that could never be filled.

During that heartbreaking time, I wanted to create something tangible—something my parents, her children, and our family could hold close to their hearts, a reminder of her love and spirit. This desire to preserve cherished memories became the seed that grew into Crystal Memorials.

Together with friends and family, I also established a charity in Karen’s name. From 2009 to 2020, we helped countless people with terminal cancer fulfill their wishes, from sending them on holidays to supporting their families in meaningful ways. In Karen’s memory, we also donated over £130,000 to the wellness centre at Keech Hospice, one of the few children’s and adult hospices in the UK.

With my creative background and experience working with Swarovski elements, I designed our first crystal heart. Seeing the finished piece, I realized it had the power to bring comfort to anyone grieving the loss of a loved one. This marked the beginning of Crystal Memorials.

Since then, our collection has grown to include a wide range of keepsakes and a new jewellery line. The support we’ve received has been incredible, and we remain committed to helping families and friends keep the memory of their loved ones alive.

If you have a special design in mind, we’d be honored to help turn your vision into a treasured keepsake—a lasting reminder of love, connection, and cherished memories.
