What Is Cremation Jewelry?

Today’s cremation jewelry is stylistically diverse, but it’s always worn as a means to cherish a loved one who has passed away. People wear cremation jewelry to honor a lost parent, sibling, friend, or even a pet. Losing a loved one may be part of life, but the grief can be difficult–even overwhelming. Wearing a cremation jewel often helps people to feel closer to their lost loved one.

Cremation jewelry is made to hold ashes inside or actual diamonds and crystals that are made from the ashes of a loved one. Pendants remain the most popular cremation jewels, but rings, earrings, and bracelets are worn too. In fact, Pandora-style cremation beads have become a popular cremation jewelry trend. But is wearing cremation jewelry fashionable? Is it the right fashion choice for you?

Fashionable or Gloomy?

Jewelry trends come and go, but memorial jewelry is a centuries-old tradition that has outlasted trends and the fickle whims of fashion. Many people love wearing their cremation jewelry because it helps them feel close to their loved one; wearing the tangible essense of a loved one has special meaning for them and gives them comfort each time they wear their jewel.

It’s true that some people might not feel comfortable wearing cremation jewelry or like the idea of creating a jewel from the ashes of a loved one. People have different ideas about death and how best to grieve or how best to honor their loved one. Others choose to bury their loved one’s ashes or hold a special ceremony before sprinkling the ashes in a special spot. Some people choose to use the ashes to create special objects like glass paperweights or some other work of art.

Cremation Jewelry ‘Looks’ Like Fashionable Jewelry

Whether the cremation jewelry trend appeals to your sense of fashion or not, the jewelry actually looks like traditional or contemporary jewels. A diamond made from a loved one’s ashes sparkles like a diamond. The fact is, no one looking at your jewelry would know that it contains or is made from a loved one’s ashes unless you tell them. Outwardly, the jewelry can reflect all kinds of styles because it comes in a myriad of designs. However, the wearer knows–and that’s what’s most important. For them, their cremation jewel is special in a way that few jewels are.

Cremation Jewelry Transcends Fashion Trends

Cremation jewelry isn’t about fashion trends–although, it’s true that many of the jewels reflect today’s most fashionable designs. The main reason people wear these jewels is to feel connected to their lost loved one, which is always more important than a style trend or current mode of fashion. If you want to feel that daily connection, a cremation jewel might be right for you. You might also want to buy cremation jewelry for other members of your family who are grieving their loved one as well.

An Expression of Love

When a loved one passes, love doesn’t die. Wearing a cremation jewel is a way to express that lasting connection. In a time when people are struggling to feel unified, a cremation jewel helps them feel close to the person they love. The jewel becomes a symbol of their love and gives them a measure of peace each time they wear it. People also love the fact that they can personalize their cremation jewel. They can choose colors, metals, and styles.

Cremation Jewelry: From Vintage-Inspired to Modern Designs

Today, cremation jewelry is available in a dizzying array of styles. At Cremation Jewelry, we feature jewelry that includes:

Standard Cremation Jewels

Standard cremation jewels are, essentially, vessels that unscrew to hold a small amount of a loved one’s ashes. Cremation Solutions features a wide selection of these jewels that reflect all kinds of things–hearts, crosses, other religious symbols, animals, and more. We mail the jewel along with step-by-step instructions that explain how to unscrew the jewel, add the ash, and seal the jewel.

Custom Cremation Glass Jewelry

Our custom cremation glass jewelry is made by our glass artisans. They use a small amount of ash in the cremation jewel. To order custom cremation glass jewelry, you’ll place your order for your custom jewel and we’ll mail you a kit. The kit explains how much ash to mail us back. We provide the vessel as well as easy–to-follow instructions. Once we receive the ashes, our artisans can add the ash to your custom jewel before mailing it back to you.

Custom Cremation Diamonds and Crystals

Our custom cremation diamonds and crystals take longer to create because we make them from the ashes. Cremation crystals typically take up to ten weeks to create. Cremation diamonds take up to twelve months to create. After you place your order, we will send you a kit that details how much ash to include in your order as well as step-by-step instructions for completing the kit and mailing it back to us.

About Our Cremation Jewelry Process

At Cremation Solutions, our custom service team is often asked how we keep each order’s ashes separate on custom jewelry orders. This concern is, naturally, at the heart of our cremation jewelry process. Maintaining the integrity of each kit we receive is our priority, so we’ve created a process that keeps each kit and its ash separate with a specially assigned number associated with the name of the deceased. Your loved ones’ ashes will never come into contact with anyone’s else’s. It often happens that our artisans may not need the entire amount of ash that they are sent in the kit. In these cases, we will mail the excess ash amount back with your order along with your jewel.
