When my father passed away in January, the world felt quieter in a way I wasn’t prepared for. I kept reaching for him in the small moments — the ones where his voice or his laugh or his steady presence would have been. As Father’s Day approached, I wanted to create something to honor him, something that wasn’t just symbolic, but something I could touch and hold close to me always.
So I made a mala necklace...
Bead by bead, I chose colours that reminded me of calm, of grounding, of his kindness and steady wisdom he carried. And at the center, I added a small urn pendant holding a part of his ashes — a way to keep him close, not in grief, but in gratitude. It became more than jewelry. It became a connection.
As I wore it, people began to ask about it. They saw the meaning before they saw the beads. They felt the story before I even told it. And I realized something:There are so many people carrying love and loss at the same time, wishing they had a way to keep someone close in a form that feels personal, beautiful, and comforting.
That’s why I’m starting this new venture Ash & Aura Memorial Malas — creating custom memorial jewelry for others who have lost someone they love. Pieces made with intention. Pieces made with care. Pieces that hold memories, not just ashes.
Every mala necklace or bracelet is handcrafted, one at a time, with the same heart I put into my father’s piece. Because these aren’t accessories — they’re stories. They’re connections. They’re the loved ones that have been lost, but found once again, just in a different form, something you can wear and feel them closeby once again.
And I would be honoured to help others carry their loved ones forward in a way that feels meaningful and uniquely theirs.
