How to Choose a Memorial Ring
Choosing a way to keep someone you love close can feel difficult. There is no single right way to do it. I’ll walk you through the options simply, so you can find the one that feels right to you.
You don’t have to decide everything right now. Let’s start with what you would like to keep in the ring.
Handmade in Québec
First step
What would you like to keep in your ring?
Each option creates a different kind of keepsake. Take a look at the rings, then choose the one that speaks to you.
Light and colour
Ashes and opal
A line of ashes at the centre, surrounded by the shimmer of opal. Several colours are available, depending on the design.

Choose a ring you’ll want to wear
Once you’ve chosen what to include, you can select the material and width available for that design. Silver-tone tungsten has a bright look; black ceramic offers a darker, more understated feel.
It’s best to confirm your ring size with a jeweler or with me before your ring is made, as these rings cannot be resized. If you’re unsure, write to me and I can help you check your measurement before you order.

A note from Stéphane
You’ll speak with me, directly.
I’m Stéphane, the artisan behind Fetstan. I make every ring myself, one at a time. Anything you entrust to me is clearly identified and handled separately, with the respect it deserves.
You don’t need to know exactly what to ask. If you’re deciding between two options or simply want to tell me about your idea, write to me. I’ll take the time to reply personally.

A few helpful answers
Questions you may have before choosing
How much ash or hair should I send?
A natural ashes ring usually requires about one teaspoon. For an opal ring with a line of ashes, half a teaspoon is enough. For a hair or pet fur ring, a regular-sized strand is needed. Any unused material is returned to you.
Do you make rings in memory of a pet?
Yes. I can make a ring using the ashes or fur of an animal you love. I give every piece the same care and attention.
What if I’m still not sure which ring to choose?
That’s completely fine. Take your time looking at the options, or write to me. I can help you compare them, with no pressure.
Whenever you’re ready
A keepsake to choose with your heart, at your own pace.
You can look at the rings again, watch the videos, or write to me directly. I’ll be here to help you find an option that feels right.
