What Exactly Is Ash Jewelry?
Ash jewelry is different from cremation jewelry in that it is made from the ashes of your loved one. To make this beautiful jewelry from the ashes of your loved one, you will send us a small amount of their cremains. Then we mix the ashes in with a gemstone like resin. This piece of resin is set into a piece of jewelry to create a beautiful pendant.
Turning a small portion of your loved one’s ashes into jewelry makes this particular type of jewelry unique to you only. This pendant makes a truly unique necklace that you know is one-of-a-kind just for you and your loved one. No one else will have this exact pendant jewelry as you.
Your loved one was a truly unique and special person. They were an important part of your life. Keep them close to you always with this especially exceptional piece of jewelry. Ash jewelry made with your loved one’s cremains are a distinct way to keep your loved one close every day.
This particular type of jewelry is different from some of our more traditional cremation jewelry. In our traditional cremation jewelry such as the ocean teardrop memorial necklace, you put a small amount of your loved one’s cremains into a tiny urn that is located in the jewelry. With ash jewelry, your loved one’s remains become part of the jewelry-making process itself.
Why Would I Want Ash Jewelry?
With ash jewelry your loved one is forever immortalized within your beautiful pendant necklace. You can forever keep a small part of your loved one with you wherever you go. You will know that there is not another piece of jewelry exactly like this one made especially for you.
For example, I know for myself after losing my own father, it would have been very comforting to have the Initial Pendant necklace with the letter R. His name was Roderick and having this reminder of him with me at all times would have been a godsend.
Additionally, I know my own children will probably be fighting over this beautiful heirloom-quality jewelry once I am gone, because they all loved their grandfather very much.
4 Reasons For Choosing Ash Jewelry:
- Our jewelry is an artistic representation of your loved one. Your loved one was amazing in every way. Our beautiful one-of-a-kind jewelry showcases this perfectly.

- These are heirloom quality pieces. Some day they will be passed down to your son or daughter as a remembrance of your family member.
