What do you call jewelry that holds ashes?
Jewelry items that hold ashes are called cremation jewelry (in general) or by the name of the specific type of jewelry (cremation necklace, cremation ring, etc). They can also be referred to as keepsakes.
How do the ashes get inside the jewelry?
There are basically two types.
Jewelry with an empty chamber. Most of the items you order online or find at the funeral home will be this type. These items come with a little “fill kit” which includes a tiny hex key and a little funnel so that you can put a small pinch of remains into the jewelry yourself.
Jewelry that is actually made with the cremated remains. This can include glass or resin pieces, or cremation diamonds. For custom-made memorial jewelry of this type, the family would have to send in their loved one’s remains so that the artist or manufacturer can create a one-of-a-kind keepsake made from the ashes.
Do I need to send my loved one’s remains to the jewelry company?
Some jewelry has cremated remains mixed into it. If this is the piece you have decided to get, you will have to send the recommended amount to the company. They will return any unused portion to you.
For most cremation jewelry, however, it will arrive with an empty chamber and a “fill kit” to help you funnel the remains in yourself.
Urns Made in the USA
What amount of remains do I need?
Most cremation jewelry only holds a small pinch of remains, up to at most about 1 cubic inch (but typically less than that).
What kinds of cremation jewelry are available?
Every kind, basically. From high end to DIY stuff, fine materials to budget-friendly, for men and women, personalized and non-personalized, necklaces, bracelets, rings, anklets, etc. The list goes on – anything you can imagine!
