What is Cremation Jewellery?

Cremation jewellery is jewellery designed to hold your loved ones ashes wherever you go. They can come in many different designs such as cremation necklaces, cremation bracelets, cremation rings and more. They can come in different materials including stainless steel, silver, gold, platinum and more depending on where you go. Cremation jewellery is normally made to hold the ashes of your loved one in a small compartment that can be found usually through screwing off the attachment point. Some jewellery feature a small flathead screw that serves a similar purpose of allowing you to access the compartment. This type of cremation jewellery is the most popular but there is another type gaining traction recently. A method of actually integrating the ashes with the design itself is a lovely way to hold your loved ones memory close and can be more affordable than you’d think.

Custom Cremation Jewellery

Custom cremation jewellery, made by infusing your loved ones ashes within the material or design itself, is something you can do to go that extra mile in honouring your loved ones memory. You can customise the jewellery to meet any specification you want, colour, material and design can all be altered to suit your needs. Depending on the artisan you find, all of these ideas can be incorporated to suit your needs. These can be made with materials such as stained glass or an epoxy resin to mix your loved ones ashes. Cremation beads, cremation rings and cremation pendants are just some of the jewellery pieces you could ask to be made. One thing you should not is as it is a handmade and artisanal process, it may take a while for your custom cremation piece to be complete. The benefits however outweigh the negatives as you will have a truly one of a kind piece to celebrate your loved ones life. You can usually add a small inscription or etching to your piece to further personalise it and make it feel truly special.
