Chantelle’s Engraved Ashes Charm for Bobble Bear
Bobble Bear had already lived with two different families before he found Chantelle. He struggled to settle in either home, but when Chantelle adopted him at three years old, their bond was instant.
For the next ten years, Bobble Bear was far more than a pet. Chantelle describes him as her soul cat and believes they were always meant to find each other.
A heart made especially for Bobble Bear
After losing him, Chantelle chose an Engraved Ashes Heart Charm so that she could continue carrying a small part of him with her.
The front of the sterling silver heart was made in a rich blue, with pieces of Bobble Bear’s ashes left visible within it. On the reverse, Chantelle chose the name “Bobble Bear” with a small engraved heart underneath.
She now wears the charm on her bracelet, sitting just above the cat tattoo on her wrist.
Chantelle’s review
“I am absolutely over the moon with my charm. It looks even more beautiful in real life and it’s the perfect charm for my sweet boy’s ashes.
“Adopted at three years old, he became my soul cat for the ten years we had together. We were definitely meant to find each other. He couldn’t settle with two previous families but the bond was instant with us.
“Now, thanks to this beautiful charm, I still feel he is with me and wherever I go, he goes. It makes me smile every day.
“The service was extremely personal and I really appreciated the little updates. The perfect experience, especially at a delicate time.”
What makes this charm so personal is not simply that it contains Bobble Bear’s ashes. The colour, visible inclusions and engraving were all chosen for him, resulting in something that could only ever tell his story.
Thank you to Chantelle for trusting me with Bobble Bear’s ashes and for allowing me to share his photographs and story. He was clearly a very special boy who had finally found exactly the right home.
