Hi, I’m Rachel

Dela was created from my belief that life’s most meaningful moments deserve to be preserved with care.

Every keepsake is individually personalised by me here in New Zealand using the treasured items my customers trust me with.

It is a privilege to create something so deeply personal, and I never take that responsibility for granted.

Dela’s story

Entrusted with life’s most precious memories.

Every order represents a moment that matters. It’s an honour to help preserve those memories and create something that will be treasured for years to come.

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My necklaces arrived safe and sound today and they are beautiful! I totally love them, they are just so right. They are tasteful and just the perfect size. So lovely to have my darling’s wee photo and ashes sealed inside so beautifully. Thank you very much for your work. 

I also wanted to say I have appreciated the warm and sensitive way you do this work. It makes a difference.
