Honoring Life with Cremation Jewelry

Honoring Life with Cremation Jewelry

Finding the Right Piece of Cremation Jewelry for You Should be Easy

Cremation jewelry, also known as memorial jewelry or ash jewelry, is a special type of jewelry designed to hold small amounts of cremated remains. These pieces can range from pendants and necklaces to rings and bracelets. Necklaces are usually preferred as they allow for the ashes to be kept close to the heart.


Many cremation jewelry pieces are designed with the ashes in mind, often featuring hollow spaces or compartments made explicitly for holding ashes. Some pieces even allow a small amount of ash to be mixed with the material during the creation process, resulting in a completely unique and personalized product.


The Benefits of Cremation Jewelry

If you choose to honor your loved one or pet through cremation, you might wonder what to do with their ashes. Ash jewelry has many benefits over traditional urns.


Beautiful and Discreet

Cremation jewelry offers a beautiful and discreet way to keep your loved one or pet close to you at all times. It allows for a personal and intimate way to honor their memory without drawing attention or causing discomfort for those around you. Plus, there are many elegant designs to choose from that can be carried with you everywhere.


On the other hand, urns are often quite large and can be difficult to transport. Scattering cremated remains, while offering a beautiful release of ashes into the world, do not provide the same physical closeness as cremation jewelry.


Personalized and Unique

Jewelry for ashes allows a truly personalized way to honor your loved one or pet. Many pieces can even be engraved with their name, dates, or a special message. You can even write an inside joke or quote that was special to both of you. Choose from various designs to create a one-of-a-kind piece that is truly unique to your loved one or pet.


Healing & Comforting

The grief journey is not easy, and finding ways to cope with our loss can be challenging. Cremation jewelry offers a tangible way to keep our loved one close to us, providing comfort in the process. A feeling of longing and yearning for them is natural, and wearing their ashes close to our hearts can help ease that pain.


How to Choose the Perfect Piece

When choosing the perfect cremation jewelry piece, there are a few important factors to consider.


Material

There are many options for materials when it comes to urn jewelry. Do you want something understated and subtle or bold and statement-making? Gold, silver, and stainless steel are popular options for those who want a classic look, while glass and wood offer unique alternatives. As for colors, rose gold and silver are trending choices.


Design

Consider the design of the piece—do you want something simple or intricate? Heart-shaped pendants are popular choices, but a wide range of designs are available to suit any taste. The infinity symbol represents eternity, making it a meaningful choice for memorial jewelry. Teardrop shapes also offer a gentle and emotional design.


If honoring a pet, you may want to choose a design with a paw etched into it or even their breed or species represented. The Wolftooth, for example, symbolizes loyalty and strength—perfect for honoring a beloved furry friend.


Size

Depending on the number of ashes you have, you may want to consider the compartment size or hollow space for holding them. Remember that a small amount goes a long way, so even a smaller piece can hold a meaningful amount.
