Cremation Ashes to Dahlias and Space Pendants 

Dahlia Glass Cremation PendantsCremation Solutions is pleased to introduce two new cremation jewel lines that feature custom blown glass in distinctive, timeless styles. Our glass artist Blake employs dimensional techniques that give these pendants a thicker appearance. The result is the creation of dazzling glass pendants that are not only beautiful, but commemorate the essence of a loved one such as a spouse, sibling, or even a beloved pet. Featuring a small amount of your loved one’s ashes, your custom glass pendant will be unlike any other jewel. We invite you to discover the captivating appeal of our new custom cremation pendant lines.

Celestial Space Cremation Pendants

The eternal mysteries of space infuse each custom Celestial Space cremation pendant created at Cremation Solutions. Each of these pendants reflects swirls of color and undulating shapes encapsulated in a thick, three-dimensional glass orb. Our Celestial Space pendants brim with ethereal beauty frozen in time. Currently, we offer several Celestial Space pendant styles for customers to choose from. However, each pendant is individually created with a small amount of a loved one’s ashes to create a jewel that is utterly unique and special for the wearer.

To create this signature glass jewel, our artist adds a very small amount of ash to the glass while it remains in its molten state. The artist then works to achieve the desired style, adding color and shape to form your custom cremation jewel. If any ash remains unused, it will be shipped safely back to you along with your completed glass pendant.

Natural Blue Dahlia Anemone Pendant for Ashes
Natural Blue Dahlia

The separation one feels from a loved one after they pass can feel tremendous–infinitely sad. Our cremation jewels help to soften the sorrow and alleviate some of the distance between here and the everafter. The truth is, wearing the ashes of a loved one in a beautiful jewel can ease the distress and make one feel much closer to the person they’ve lost. Love never dies, and these pendants are a reminder of the infinite love that knows no bounds of space or time.

Dahlia Flower Glass Cremation Pendants

Dahlia flowers have long symbolized traits such as commitment, kindness, and beauty. During the Victorian era, people associated dahlias with steadfastness, devotion, and love. Do you know why dahlia’s are referred to as the “queen of the autumn garden?” It’s because they continue to bloom long after other garden plants have ceased to bloom. Their endurance makes them the perfect representation of endless love.

The dahlia’s enduring symbolism influenced our new line of stunning Dahlia Flower glass cremation pendants that boast three-dimensional designs that are infused with vibrant color and skillful blown glass artistry.

There are many ways to commemorate a loved one, but wearing a beautiful glass pendant created with a small amount of their ashes can help you feel close to your loved one and remind you that the love you shared is always with you. Like the bloom of a lovely botanical, our lives are finite, but it can be so difficult to continue your life’s journey without the presence of that person you cared for so much. Our Dahlia glass pendant, of course, is no substitute for their voice or laughter, but it is a gentle reminder of their essence set next to your skin each time you wear your stunning jewel.

Our artist will use just a small amount of ash in the creation of your custom Dahlia cremation pendant. We offer various colors to choose from. The thick glass designs of the pendant underscores its durable construction while lending it a deep, dimensional look. Our Dahlia pendants are sometimes referred to as ‘anemone’ style for their similarity to underwater marine life. These pendants remain popular cremation jewel styles among gardeners, ocean lovers, and nature enthusiasts.

Be sure to note that color can vary slightly from images shown in our pendant styles. The special coloring treatments we use are subject to slight variations of hue. Even so, your pendant will closely reflect the style you’ve chosen to commemorate your loved one’s ashes.

Timeless Remembrance Glass Jewelry

Ashes in Space GlassGlass jewels have a long and ancient past. While cremation glass jewelry involves the use of our state-of-the-art glass-making techniques, glass jewelry is a traditional adornment that never goes out of style.

Our glass artist works meticulously and with great patience to create each custom cremation glass pendant. Many customers want to know how we ensure that each loved one’s ashes are separately maintained.

How Do Ashes Get Inside Cremation Jewelry?

 

Cremation jewelry has grown in popularity as a way to commemorate a loved one and keep their essence close. Even so, there’s been a lot of confusion about just how ashes get inside the cremation jewel. Perhaps that’s because there are typically three ways that ashes can be added to cremation jewelry. How ashes get inside a specific jewel depends on the type of cremation jewel in question.

What Is Cremation Jewelry?

Cremation jewelry is either made to hold ashes by having a small chamber inside in which you add the ashes and re-seal yourself or is made using ashes or made entirely with ashes. There are actually hundreds of cremation jewel designs that represent these three types. Although no cremation jewel requires a lot of ashes to create, some require more ash than others. When shopping for cremation jewelry, customers may wish to consider how the ashes get inside of each jewel when making their purchase decision. Some jewels require ashes to be sent to the artist that creates a custom glass pendant or bead; standard non-custom metal jewelry requires the customer to add the ash to the jewel themselves.

Cremation Jewelry Types

As mentioned, there are three categories of cremation jewelry:

Standard Cremation Jewels

Ashes Jewelry
          Precious Metal Jewelry To Hold Ashes

Standard cremation jewelry is made from precious metals like silver gold and titanium come in a myriad of designs. Popular designs include hearts, angels, flowers, paw prints, infinity symbols, and more. These jewels feature an inner chamber that is designed to hold and seal a small amount of a loved one’s ashes. Customers will add a pinch of ash by removing a screw in plug and (using a small funnel that comes with the jewel) to fill the chamber after they receive their order. It’s easy and step by step directions are included

Custom Cremation Glass Jewels

Custom cremation glass jewelry is created by glass artists who use a small amount of ash in the glass jewel’s design. These glass jewels, usually beads or pendants, are custom created. When the glass jewel is being made and still in a molten state the artist adds the ashes which are incapsulated in the glass. The ashes turn white and if the color of the glass is not too dark you can see the ashes inside. When you order them we will send an ash collection kit by mail and customers will send a small amount of their loved one’s ashes to directly to our artists who will incorporate the ash into their jewel design.

Custom Cremation Diamonds and Crystals

Ashes inside Jewelry
             Custom Glass Jewelry

Custom cremation diamonds and crystals are made from the ashes. It’s a patented process, so it takes more time to create the finished jewels. Usually, cremation crystals can be made in 10 weeks. Cremation diamonds, however, require a longer production process; they can be made in 8-12 months. Again, we will send each customer an ash collection kit so the specified amount of their loved one’s ashes can be used to commission these types of cremation jewels. Any ashes that are not used are returned along with the jewelry.

How to Fill Cremation Jewelry

Customers will fill standard cremation jewelry themselves. Each jewel sold by Cremation Solutions comes with step-by-step instructions that show customers how to add ash to the jewel. These jewels hold a tiny amount of ash–often just a pinch–within their hollow chamber. To open the chamber, customers will remove a small screw and use the mini funnel provided with their order to fill the chamber with ashes. Then, they seal the chamber and replace the screw. The ashes remain safe within the jewel’s chamber and the jewel is then ready to be worn.

                       Crystal Gems Made From Ashes

Cremation Solutions jewelry artists add ashes to the other types of jewels we offer–custom cremation glass jewels, custom cremation crystals, and custom cremation diamonds. Upon ordering these types of jewels, our company will send customers with a kit that comes with step-by-step instructions for providing us with a small amount of their loved one’s ashes. The amount needed depends on the type of jewel in question. Metal jewelry holds just a pinch of ashes. Custom orders will require anywhere from a tablespoon for crystals and half of one cup for cremation diamonds.

Following the kit’s instructions, customers will add the ash to the supplied container and mail it back to the company. We have a meticulous tracking process in place to ensure that no customer’s ashes are ever mixed with any other ashes. Also, if we do not need all of the ashes supplied to create the custom jewel that’s been ordered, we will mail them back with the completed item.

During the creation of these types of cremation jewels, our artisans will add the ashes as part of the design process. Once the items are mailed back to the customer, they are ready to wear or to present as gifts to other loved ones.

If you have any questions about our jewelry creation process, get in touch with Cremation Solutions to learn more about our custom jewelry and standard cremation jewels. We offer a wide range of cremation jewelry. It can be difficult to choose in some cases, so we are on hand to help you make your selection and answer any questions you may have about our jewels and creation processes.

Cremation Jewelry: All the Rage or Fashion Faux Pas

Memorial jewelry, jewelry worn to commemorate a lost loved one, dates back to ancient Rome, but historians suspect the practice is far more ancient. There’s a strong likelihood that many of the jewels people wore long before the world’s first cities were built were actually memorial jewels too. Such jewels were made from bone, hair, and even blood. Consequently, today’s cremation jewelry is not a new trend, but rather, the pinnacle of an ancient tradition that predates the construction of cathedrals, roads, and possibly even the invention of the wheel!

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.

Ashes Jewelry
Jewelry To Hold Ashes

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?

Ashes inside pendantJewelry 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

                                             Crystal Gems Made From Ashes

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

LoveWhen 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

Has Covid-19 Increased The Cremations In The USA?

Cremation Solutions

The novel coronavirus, which was detected in the metropolitan area of Wuhan in China’s central Hubei province, continues to infect people around the world, including the United States. Since its discovery in late December, COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by coronavirus, has infected over 3 million individuals, resulting in over 215,000 fatalities all over the world. While Spain, Italy, France, and the UK have posted over 20,000 deaths each, the US has recorded over 1 million coronavirus cases, a third of the world’s total infections, and over 57,000 deaths. That has put pressure on funeral homes and crematories across the country. Funeral homes are having to adjust to delays and the sadness of low attended funerals.

In New York, the hardest-hit state by the pandemic, there have been over 17,000 COVID-19-related deaths from a total of 295,137 infections. However, New York City has been the epicenter of the disease in the state, recording over 162,000 cases and 11,708 deaths as of Tuesday, March 28. While state administrations and health officials report that the number of fatalities has reached the backside of the death curve, funeral-home and crematory workers, whose duty is to ensure the dead are laid to rest respectfully, say they have never been busier.

Misinformation About Cremation Orders by the Government

Delayed FuneralsAs America continues to grapple with the pandemic, several images and reports on social media offer misguided information about what happens after people die from coronavirus. One particular image went viral, telling people that once a person is deceased, they become the government’s property and will be incinerated without wakes or funeral services.

The report has elicited contradicting responses from state agencies, medical examiners, and funeral directors. The NY Funeral Directors Association responded to the matter, saying: “We haven’t seen or heard of such claims. Funeral Homes in the state are still operating under the state guidelines.” Additionally, the New York State Department of Health noted that funeral homes, crematories, and cemeteries, being essential businesses, were allowed to remain operational, despite other non-essential businesses remaining closed. The deceased require a proper send-off, complete with a wake, structured funeral, and burial. Nonetheless, funeral homes will be required to adhere to social distancing and only allow a limited number of attendees during these gatherings.

Funeral Homes Forced to Turn Away Grieving Families, Suggesting Cremation

Cremation BoxesWith the increasing number of deaths in the US continue to surge, the demand for funeral services has drastically spiked. Many funeral homes have exceeded their capacities, with some caskets lying in unsuitable areas such as the lobbies and corridors. For instance, the Funeral Director at Lawrence H Woodward Funeral Home in Brooklyn, Kendall Lindsay, said, “By the end of March, we had over 120 planned funeral services. As of April 5, the number had increased to 127. We are now compelled not to register any new cases because of the dwindling storage space.”

Throughout the city, staffs in mortuaries, morgues, and funeral homes continue to scramble and find space for new COVID-19-related deaths. “We currently have bodies that cannot be buried now. We will have to postpone the funeral services and hold them after at least one week or more,” said Lindsay, who was forced to turn away 20 families, leaving them with no other option but to cremate their loved ones with no wakes or proper funeral arrangements.

Although they may be dealing with many cases awaiting proper funeral arrangements, it is quite unprofessional of funeral homes to deny survivors to have a wake before the funeral and burial. It robs families of deceased persons of the much-needed condolences and support during such a difficult time. That goes against our human principles and sentimental values. Funeral services allow survivors to eulogize and share stories about the dead loved one, which is critical in ensuring that the deceased has a respectable send-off. In NY Bodies left unclaimed are usually buried by the State on Hart Island.

Hart Island

The Immense Backlog at Crematories

Following the decision by funeral homes to take any additional cases, many families have resorted to cremating the remains of their beloved. The situation has grown so dire, prompting cemetery directors to air their concerns, term it as the highest surge in demand that has never been experienced in many decades.

A significant fraction of the New York population prefers cremating the dead instead of burials. Typically, the four crematories located in the US most densely populated city could comfortably offer cremation services. Still, the coronavirus pandemic has rendered them inadequate to cater to the ever-increasing number of bodies waiting to be cremated. With such an unprecedented backlog of bodies in crematories, it is clear that outdated laws on burials and cremations to be amended. According to these statutes, cremation facilities can only be confined to cemeteries. While there are over 40 cemeteries across the five boroughs in New York, there is only a limited number of crematories.

Among the four facilities, one is located in Brooklyn, one in the Bronx, and the other two in Queens. The surge in the number of bodies has put pressure on resources in crematories. Currently, a location that used to cremate ten bodies each day now has to deal with a more significant daily workload of 15 bodies. Others have to cremate double the number of bodies they would in a single day. That has forced the state government to ease restrictions on air-quality regulations in the bid to allow crematories to extend their hours of operations. Still, many families continue to ring them at odd hours, making these locations busier than they ever been in decades.

Shortening the Wait: Covid-19 Victims Transported Upstate for Cremation

As a result of that, the pressure trickles down to hospitals where “new” dead bodies are presented in morgues in large numbers. Patients who have passed on now have to spend more time in the morgue because the “government restrictions have made it challenging for families to make quick funeral arrangements.” Furthermore, doctors and nurses are delaying signing death certificates because of the increasing backlog and newly reported cases that occur in their hundreds every day. That presents a big problem because bodies cannot be transported to crematory facilities without a complete death certificate.

The situation is so dire that caskets containing bodies of Covid-19 victims have filled funeral homes. The last resort is to transport them upstate to help families to access cremation services as quickly as possible.

Associate professor of mortuary sciences, Mr. David Penepent, who manages the funeral services administration program at the New York State University in Canton, started the “Hands with a Heart” initiative that works to transport the bodies to crematories in upstate New York and other neighboring states where there the number of bodies awaiting cremation is still manageable.

Mr. Penepent was overwhelmed when he was greeted by the astonishing number of cardboard caskets with bodies at one of the funeral homes in Queens. With help from his two students, they wheeled out the bodies, first lining them in the hallway, before gently laying the boxes in one of their two vans destined for a crematory outside New York.

Since the start of April, the Hands with a Heart program has transported decedents from overwhelmed cremation facilities and funeral homes to crematories in far-off places such as Pennsylvania and Vermont. According to Mr. Penepent, “These are not simply bodies. We are handling people with families who love them. Therefore, we do this with care, compassion, dignity, and respect.”

During the Easter weekend, the initiative had successfully moved 70 bodies, followed by 150 the following week, and last week, 300 bodies were transported. The program comes as a relief to grieving families that could have otherwise waited for days and even weeks to access cremation services. It has also eased the pressure off funeral homes and hospital morgues that have been hit the hardest by the pandemic.

Why Such a Backlog in Crematories During the Covid-19 Pandemic?

To curb the spread of the new coronavirus, the federal and state governments have laid down measures to try and control the transmission rate of the disease. Virtually every state went in lockdown with administrative officials urging people to practice social distancing. That meant that businesses were closed, reducing the income for many would-be-working Americans. Further, over 26 million have filed unemployment claims. That said, the economic crisis has forced families to turn to the economic appeal of cremation as the only option. Hopefully many will have full blown memorial services once social distancing is a memory.

Cremation Memorials Are More Important Than Ever!

With the lack of public funerals and the support that they bring to survivors. People are spending their money in more creative ways starting with visual online funerals and memorial pages where people can pay tribute from home. Keepsakes and jewelry that holds ashes inside is a way that people have been using to help bring comfort to the loss while keeping a physical part of their loved one closer, with no need to visit a cemetery.

What happens when we die? This common question may be one you’ve thought about before. You may have religious views. You may believe nothing happens. However, science has shed new light on what actually does happen in those minutes – sometimes hours – after a person dies.

In a recently released study, researchers found that the human brain is completely aware of what happens at the time of death. In fact, the brain remains alive and functioning for minutes or even hours after a person dies. That’s shocking to most. And, it is also terrifying. What does this mean?

Take a Closer Look at the Study

Death
SCIENCE SAYS!…not dead

The study, conducted by Stony Brook University in New York looked at 2,000 people who reported having near death experiences – these are instances in which the person was technically dead and then were resuscitated. Each one tells of a different story, but all convey one clear message. They all are fully aware of what is happening around them. Many recognize that they are dead. Others see a light or have an out of body experience.

What researchers have learned is that when a person dies, the brain can remain functional for minutes to hours after the death. Medically, a person is considered dead when the heart stops beating. When this occurs, there is no more flow of oxygen-rich blood to the organs. The organs slowly stop working. This includes the brain. Yet, the instant the heart stops does not translate into the instant the brain stops. The residual amounts of oxygen in the blood system, which remains present for some time, can keep the brain functional. It takes time for the brain’s lack of oxygen to finally cease its ability to function.

During that time – from the moment the heart stops until a person’s brain stops function – the person’s awareness may still be fully in place. The person who may be technically dead from a lack of a heart beat may still understand what is happening around them.

An Explanation for Near Death Experiences

Cremation PlanningMany people report having some type of experience after their heart stops. These individuals, who have been brought back through medical intervention, report a wide range of occurrence. In some situations, they report a bright light. Others report being transformed into a ball of energy and floating over themselves. They clearly see the people around them. Many report hearing and understanding the conversations that doctors have around them.

Many near death experiences provide very detailed information about what happens around the person when he or she dies. For example, some people report seeing specific doctors or hearing specific voices. Some people have had this information verified – information they would not have known had they not been about to communicate it in this manner. What makes this interesting is that many men and women with near death experiences often attribute what they feel to an experience they have never had before.

Could this be the feeling of oxygen slowly leaving their brain?

Imagine for a moment what could actually be happening according to the New York University. A person’s heart stops. In that moment of death, blood is still traveling to the brain. The brain continues to work. It continues to allow an individual to know and recognize what is happening around them. They cannot speak or move, but the brain still tries to function as it has. The oxygen present allows the brain to work, but it is not the steady flow of oxygen the brain needs to work properly. This creates a different perception of reality around them. And, what the brain is telling the person that is happening – the out of body experiences – seem very lifelike and real. That’s because they are. The brain is communicating this in some manner.

The Medical Component of the Research

Online Death Certifiacte InformationWhat the researchers found, scientifically, is that the brain continues to fire off signals. The neurons are still operating at the time of the heart stopping. They do not immediately stop working. Rather, the neurons begin to fail over a few minutes or longer as oxygen depletion leads to their destruction.

The heart’s job in life is to pump blood that is full of oxygen to the brain and other organs. Imagine, for a moment, how it works to feed other organs. For example, oxygen is necessary for the digestive system to work. It is necessary for the kidneys to work. Yet, when the heart stops, do those organs simply stop functioning immediately? What many people think of as death – a sudden process where the entire process shuts down – is not accurate. The process of death takes longer, even when a person cannot talk and communicate a message.

Why Some Have the Experience And Others Do Not

Questions remain in understanding what occurs after death. For example, studies indicate that only 60 percent of the people have died – had their heart stop – and were brought back to life have no after death experience. They do not remember anything happening. They do not have any type of bright light to follow. Research is still out on why this happens to so many, but it could be attributed to a faster rate at which the brain dies. In some cases, the brain can die faster due to the lack of oxygen in the blood stream leading up to the death.

What This Means to You and Your Loved Ones

Researchers are continuing to look at the body of evidence brought forward by these near death experiences. All are very vast and wide ranging. And, as medical science improves to allow people to be resuscitated further from that moment of death, it may be possible to better understand what truly happens. Yet, for those living today, this could signal a time to carefully reflect on wishes and needs.

No matter what you believe happens after your death, religious or not, one thing is for sure. While you are alive, you have the ability to live a full life. Many of the men and women who have had these types of experiences feel profoundly different after they have been brought back. Many feel empowered to help others. Still, others embrace their religion more fully.

Ahhhh The Afterlife

As science continues to work to understand why this is, it may be important to reflect on your own wishes and needs. If you have not created a will or put an estate plan in place, now would be a good time to do so. You can also find a variety of tools available to help you to plan each detail of your end of life wishes. You can also purchase cremation urns, if you like, in advance.

For those planning their loved one’s final resting place or purchasing cremation jewelry to honor their loved one, take a moment to reflect on what this new study could mean for them. Could it mean your loved one remains aware of your presence after his or her death? Could it help you to believe there is an afterlife?

Researchers say they will continue to work to uncover more insight into what happens after death. As they do, we can count on many men and women sharing their stories of near death experiences and what they could mean for our future, too.

Fingerprint Jewelry Meets Cremation Jewelry The “Phoenix Collection”

Cremation Diamonds VS Cremation Crystals

Cremation Solutions offers both cremation diamonds and cremation crystals that beautifully commemorate the life of a loved one in a spectacular jewel. Customers aren’t always certain which type of jewel to create, so it is important for us to clarify the differences between these two types of cremation jewels so that you can make the best decision. Investing in a cremation jewel can help you pay tribute to your loved one or pet and to help you feel connected to them in a meaningful way. Whether you select a cremation crystal or cremation diamond, we want to help you feel secure and understand the differences. The following information about our artisan-crafted memorial jewelry will help you decide what is right for you.

Cremation Diamonds

Diamond Created From Human Ashes
Blue Cremation Diamond

We don’t mind sharing with our customers that we sell far more crystals than we do diamonds. However, cremation diamonds are truly majestic; they simply require an extra-long creation process and consequently cost more. Our diamond creation jewelry is truly exquisite and we are proud to offer such dazzling works of art, but it’s important that customers note that the process to create our diamonds takes between 7 months to a year. Although we employ an advanced process to produce our lab diamonds, the time requirement is unavoidable.

Our cremation diamonds are 100% certified diamond gems that are created using the carbon from a lock of hair or ashes. Each created diamond is carefully inspected, authenticated, and graded by our world-class gemologists. Each diamond is measured in carats as are all diamonds on the market. In addition, Cremation Solutions offers a guarantee against any defects in the gem. Once the diamond is created it can be set within a memorial jewel of your choosing.

Cremation diamonds have all the beauty of any cherished family heirloom, but they go a step further as they have been created with the essence of someone dear.

Our Diamond Creation Process

Yellow Cremation DiamondTo create a diamond, we place a small amount of a loved one’s ashes in a crucible that is able to withstand the intense heat of the creation process. A temperature that surpasses 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit is required in order for the elements contained in the crucible. As the heating process continues, the carbon turns into graphite. This part of the process generally takes several weeks.

Our technicians then take this graphite and place it within a core containing a metal catalyst and a genuine diamond crystal seed. This core is then placed in an innovative diamond press where it is heated once again. It takes approximately 800,000 of applied pressure (per square inch) to transform this heated core into a rough crystal. Again, several more weeks are required for this part of the transformation.

The final step is where our highly skilled jewelers work with the rough diamond using faceting tools to cut and create a gemstone that meets your specifications. The end result is always impressive, but owing to the nature of work and processing involved, we must charge accordingly; although, we want to assure our customers that we charge fairly. Our goal is to create a captivating memorial that will last you a lifetime, an heirloom that can be passed on and celebrated from one generation to the next. Will a cremation diamond last forever? Let us say this: as a genuine diamond created in our state-of-the-art lab, it will certainly last as long as any other diamonds!

If you don’t mind the cost or time involved for the creation process, we invite you to peruse our gallery of cremation diamond jewels. We also want to let customers know that our diamond color selection is slightly more limited than options for crystals. Feel free to get in touch with us to address any questions you might have about the creation process or the completed jewel.

Cremation Crystals

We design cremation crystal jewels to as one-of-a-kind keepsakes and memorials to loved ones and beloved pets who have passed. We use a very small amount of cremated ash to create our crystals. Using innovative gem-creation technology, we transform ash into genuine crystal. Our process is patented and our technologists, jewelry designers, and gemologists boast world-class skills that are evident in each newly created crystal and keepsake jewel.

Cremation Crystals: It’s All about Choice

We offer a wide array of sizes and cuts as well as a rainbow of colors. Customers can also select 14K white gold, 14 K gold, or sterling silver to be featured in their cremation jewel. Our crystals can be set in our rings, pendants, and necklaces. The idea is for you to be able to design a personalized jewel that suits your preferences or that possibly reflects your loved one.

The Cremation Crystal Process

Gems Made From Ashes

To create your commemorative crystal jewel, we require about two tablespoons of cremation ashes. We will send you a kit after you place your order that contains a small vessel for you to fill with the ashes. If any ash is unused, we will send it back to you along with your jewel. We want to assure our customers that we have a rigid process in place to ensure that ashes are never mixed. Every customer’s order and ashes are kept completely separate. This process is integral to the integrity of our jewel-making process. We always respect that the ashes in our care are the earthly remains of your loved one. We never take our role as caretakers of this essence lightly. Our tracking strict tracking system is one of the highlights of our jewel-making process.

Unlike cremation diamonds that can take a year to create, our cremation crystals can be created in 8 and 10 weeks. Our crystals are measured in millimeters as opposed to carats. They come in both dark and light colors, but we want to point out that light colors, by their nature, produce greater sparkle and reflection. Some of the colors that we feature include red, pink, bronze, royal blue, and green. We feature a helpful chart that demonstrates what gems our crystals will closely resemble based on our color offerings. Please click here to view the chart.

When Death Becomes Art

Coping with death can be one of the hardest things you’ll ever face. Accepting that you’ll never see, talk to, or touch a person you love is a long and enduring process for family members and friends. Grieving can be a very hard road, and one that many people walk for weeks, months, and even years.

A big part of grieving for many people involves paying tribute, whether through a community event or with a memorial such as a park bench or garden. More and more people are getting creative with memorial works of art and personal memorials that are kept at home and can easily be visited in times of sadness and joy.

The Beauty of Blown Glass

Glass blowing is an incredibly challenging discipline, requiring patience, skill, and attention to detail to execute properly. Each Cremation Solutions piece is handmade specifically to your order, ensuring a custom creation carrying a little piece of someone you love and cherish.

In order to create blown glass pieces, our artisans start with a crucible of hot liquid glass. This glass is then gathered on the end of a hollow steel blow pipe, and then rolled on a hard metal table to create a smooth, rounded shape. In order to keep the glass hot and malleable, the craftsman will continue to place the blow pipe into a roaring furnace.

To shape and expand the glass, the artist will physically blow into the end of the pipe. If necessary, powders, glass sticks, and other elements can be incorporated into the design to add color, texture, and shape. Glass can also be pulled and sculpted with the use of tongs and other tools.

Throughout this process, the cremation ashes you provide to us will be added to the glass piece, incorporating the spirit of your loved one into your handmade creation. Blown glass requires a temperature of over 2000 degrees, higher than that of initial cremation. This extreme heat burns off all carbon deposits, leaving brilliant white ashes that are spread throughout the glass.

Ashes in Turtle glass
Turtles are some of the oldest creatures on earth. The Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle, known as “Honu,” symbolizes good luck, endurance and long life. Turtles can show up as a person’sguardian spirit, known as “Aumakua.” ornaments, paperweights, decorative flowers, sculptures, and other keepsakes, providing the perfect fit for whatever you envision.

Once a piece is finished, it will be transported to a 960 degree oven. Over the course of the next 14 to 24 hours, the oven temperature will drop, allowing the blown glass to cool naturally without the risk of cracking or warping.

Placing Your Order

When you’re ready to memorialize the loss of someone you love, Cremation Solutions is here. Our catalog features over one hundred unique designs.
