Cremation jewellery is a beautiful way to remember and honour the life of a special someone who has passed away. From charms with tiny ashes to lockets containing ashes or hair, there are numerous styles of cremation jewellery that can be cherished for generations. In this guide, we’ll discuss some tips you should keep in mind when selecting cremation jewellery for yourself or for a loved one.
What is Cremation Jewellery?
Cremation jewellery, also known as memorial jewellery, is a particular type of jewellery specifically designed to privately contain a small amount of your loved one’s cremated remains.
These private and personal keepsakes come in a variety of designs, styles and prices, ranging from necklaces and pendants to rings, earrings and bracelets.
Cremation jewellery can be worn as an everyday reminder of your special someone, or it can be kept safe at home and taken out when you need that extra bit of comfort.
How to Select the Right Style of Cremation Jewellery
When choosing cremation jewellery, it’s essential to select the right style that reflects and honours the personality of your loved ones. Consider their favourite colours, gemstones, or a style they would often wear. You can also select something timeless like a simple yet elegant solitaire necklace, for a classic look. Keep their interests in mind - choose an inscription on their pendant or ring with one of their favourite quotes or a special sentiment to remember them by. Or pick a jewel with the same design as the funerary urn, like our Tree Root pendants.

There are a wide range of cremation jewellery styles to choose from, so take your time to browse ones that best suit you and the person you’re commemorating. Contemporary options include sleek stainless-steel designs, while antique or vintage enthusiasts may prefer an ornate filigree design in silver or yellow gold. If the departed was a fashionista at heart, pick out colourful gemstones to be set into their necklace or bracelet. Alternatively, a simple sterling silver band with the date of their passing engraved on the interior is a subtle yet meaningful way to honour them.
Understanding the Types of Filling and Sealing Options Available for Your Cremation Jewellery
When selecting cremation jewellery, be sure to consider the available filling and sealing options. Some jewellery comes with an airtight filigree filler which is designed to securely seal the ashes of your loved one into the pendant or ring.
Alternatively, other fillers like screw-top vessels provide a secure place inside the jewel to store special memories or keepsakes. For example, all Etternal cremation jewels come with a filler needle and a funnel for helping you in case you want to fill the tiny container yourself.
Lastly, you can have your jewellery adhered and sealed at a professional jeweller so that it will be completely airtight and last for the generations to come.
