What You Need To Know About Cremation Jewellery

Acknowledging the passing of a loved one and coming to grips with it is extremely hard. We feel their loss and the excruciating pain of wanting to be with them. Often, we want closure of some sort. It can be hard to do our daily tasks; eating may be difficult for some time, sleeping as well. We just want something to put us together again.

If you have a loved one who has passed on, we want you to know that you are not alone and understand what you are going through at this time. It can take a long time to move through the various stages of grief, but you can keep the person with you by having cremation jewellery of that person with you at all times.

So What Is Cremation Jewellery?

The art of converting someone’s ashes into jewellery goes all the way back to ancient times. Here is the interesting part, our technological advances over the past century or so have made cremation jewellery far more advanced and a smoother process overall. Nowadays, jewellers can do things such as:

• Cremation ashes swirled inside a glass bead used in custom remembrance jewellery.
• Using gold and silver to make metalwork with the ashes.
• Cremation ash is used in jewels that are then placed pieces such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, and more.

Unique to Great Britain is that memorial jewellery has been a very predominant trend for centuries — along with the cultural practices associated with grief.

One particularly British tradition is “funeral rings.” This specific form of cremation jewellery has been common in England since the 16th century and was popular well into the early 1900s. Contrary to the memorial rings we see currently, these original pieces were often plain gold or silver rings engraved with the deceased’s name or perhaps a motto to remember them by.

Cremation jewellery holds the ash of your loved one, but you most likely did not know that it can also have a lock of your loved one’s hair or other small items of remembrance. It most commonly comes as personalized cremation jewellery that is wearable.

It is very common to choose the cremation necklace so it can be worn around the neck. Another popular option is a cremation bracelet so that it can be worn around the wrist. Cremation rings are also a popular option for mourners since they are small and are to be worn around the finger. Lastly, keychains can also be selected if someone is not one to wear jewellery.

Cremation jewellery creates a deep feeling of satisfaction and closure for some.

Cremation diamonds, or funeral diamonds, are perhaps one of the most widely available options on the market when it comes to cremation jewellery. In order to have a funeral diamond crafted, someone must send in a sample of cremains or hair to a specialised business. Once the sample is at the lab, a high-pressure and high-temperature machine is used to pull out the carbon from the sample and turn it into a foundation used to grow your synthetic diamond.
