Welcome to Capture My Art Pet Keepsakes, a small Australian business based in Sydney, run by owner and designer Caroline Nassour. This business was created from a deeply personal experience of love, loss and the desire to keep our beloved animals close.

More than 11 years ago, after experiencing the heartbreak of losing my beloved dog Rocky, I felt a strong desire to help others who were facing that same pain. I wanted to create something that could help preserve the connection we share with our animals after they are gone — something tangible that could be held, looked at and treasured; a small part of them that could remain with us and bring comfort during the grieving process.

From that experience, my pet memorial collection was born.

                   

Today, I lovingly handcraft pet hair jewellery, pet ashes jewellery, memorial necklaces, memorial keychains and horse hair keepsakes here in Australia. As one of the original pet hair keepsake businesses, I understand just how precious those little reminders can be and how much meaning can be held in something so small.

But there is another very personal part of my story that I want to share with you.

At just 28 years old, I was diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a rare inherited eye condition that causes progressive loss of central vision and can eventually lead to legal blindness. Despite living with significant vision impairment, I have continued to create each keepsake by hand, finding new ways to work carefully and maintain the quality and attention to detail that each piece deserves.

I use magnification, visual aids and carefully adapted tools and workspace adjustments to allow me to continue doing what I love. It can take me longer and sometimes requires finding a different way to accomplish something, but my passion for this work has never diminished.

For me, Capture My Art is about much more than making jewellery. It is about understanding what it means to love an animal deeply, to experience the pain of losing them, and to find meaningful ways to carry their memory forward.

Every keepsake is personally crafted with care and attention, because behind every order is a much-loved animal and a story that matters.

Thank you for supporting my small Australian business and allowing me to continue doing something I truly love. Every purchase helps me keep creating these meaningful keepsakes and, despite the challenges of my vision impairment, continue doing what I have been passionate about for more than a decade.

Your pet may no longer be by your side, but their memory can remain close to your heart.
