About Jewelry Keepsakes

The Jewelry Keepsakes Story


Jewelry Keepsakes came to be over a desire to give back, to create something that was of value to others, a cause that would help people. The most important ‘value’ that we cherish is family so what better way that to help those that are grieving the loss of something that we understand, something that we value – family.

Memorial jewelry was a new concept at the time and it gave us the chance to combine creativity with emotions and actually help those that are in need. We chose to focus all of efforts in the area of memorial jewelry and those efforts have made us the authority. The reward is the reviews from our customers, the phone calls and emails, the heartfelt thanks and appreciation for bringing comfort and compassion is what gets us out of the bed in the morning.

We consider it an honor and a privilege to be able to impact the lives of families across the world with memorial jewelry and continue in our efforts to provide the best quality keepsakes and the most compassionate and caring customer service.

We Have Experienced Grief Ourselves

We could give you the commercial version of who we are: We are the internet’s leading provider of cremation jewelry, photo engraved pendants and other keepsakes that remember family, friends and pets. Great things but what does that tell you about us? We want you to have the real story behind who we are. Quite simply, we are you.

We are members of families that have lost a parent, a child, a grandchild and we still grieve for that loss. We have searched for comfort in a personal way, to feel closer, to hold on to the memories we treasure.

We are friends that miss a best friend, a childhood friend, someone taken too soon from our lives. We have sifted through old photos to find that one favorite picture that brings back a flood of memories, helps our heart yet hurts it at the same time.

We have been angry, cried at the unfairness of fate, seen the ravages of illness, felt helpless in our efforts to make things better for those that have lost.

We are pet owners and have said good-bye to our pets, laid to rest our dogs of countless breeds and child chosen names, guinea pigs name Jefferson, animals that we loved with all of our heart. And they took a part of our heart with them.

We have comforted one another, listened, held hands, hugged, dried tears. We have celebrated life, shared memories and mourned loss. And tried desperately to find a way to begin again.

As with every company, every family, there is history...a story that tells how you came to be. It highlights the milestones, the special moments and occasions, the failures and successes that shaped you from the ground up. And Jewelry Keepsakes is no different.

Added Permanently Sealed Jewelry

Filling Cremation Jewelry Video

September 2012

Filling a keepsake is not an ordinary task for our customers. In 2012, we created and launched a video that takes you through the process step by step of adding ashes or another memorial to cremation jewelry. The video was placed on each individual product page and continues to serve as a tool to assist our customers with the process of creating their memorial to their loved one.

New And Improved Chains

May 2011

A major upgrade to our chains takes place. We replaced all of our chains and cordings with stronger, more beautiful snake chains. The chains are available in four different finishes - rhodium plated, black rhodium plated, 14k gold plated and rose gold plated. Not only does every pendant include a matching 20” plated chain but customers got the option of upgrading their selection to a premium sterling silver chain with their choice of plating and we offered a graphic that displays how the chain and pendant will sit around the neck.
