What is cremation ash jewelry?
A piece of them, with you always
Memorial jewelry from ashes — also called cremation jewelry or cremation ash jewelry — is a ring, pendant, bracelet, or earring that contains a small amount of cremated remains sealed inside the piece. The ashes are carefully encased in resin and set within the jewelry so they are preserved and protected for a lifetime.
Only about 1 teaspoon of ashes is needed per piece. The rest are returned to you. You can also create multiple pieces from a single set of materials — many families order several pieces to share among loved ones.
