One teaspoons' worth of ash is required to make memorial jewellery. 

In all honesty only a pinch is required for most pieces. We ask for a teaspoon's worth so we can choose what ash goes into your special remembrance jewellery. We use what we need and return ALL unused ash with your special commission. 

If you are purchasing several pieces of memorial jewellery, we only need one teaspoons' worth of cremated ashes for every 6 pieces ordered. We DO return all unused ash.

When you place your order, we will send you a small pack and disposable biodegradable bamboo spoon. Simply send one teaspoons' worth of ash back in the prepaid envelope.

The best memorial jewellery is the piece that resonates with you personally in three ways. The first is that the piece of jewellery is something that you would like to wear, either on special occasions or all the time. No point having something that you don't like. 

The second is that its design serves as a reminder of your loved one. Something they liked, a colour, a place or a design. Honouring them with a design that reminds you of them or time spent with them. 

The last thing that is important, is who made it for you. Some folk don't care about the source of the jewellery and therefore a cheap and cheerful steel item off Amazon is all they need. There is nothing wrong with that at all. Other folk like to have a connection with the person or company making their special memorial jewellery. So look for a company or person whose principles you respond to.

Yes and No.

The temperature to cremate does not exceed the melting point of metal, so most metal jewellery will survive the process albeit a little discoloured and tarnished. Most gemstones however will perish in the heat, with just a few like sapphire, ruby and diamonds surviving. 

Crematoriums will advise that anything non combustible should be removed for a cremation. 

It is not uncommon for a person to be buried with their sentimental jewellery. 

Yes, it is perfectly acceptable to wear cremation memorial jewellery as a way to honour and remember a loved one who has passed away.

These pieces often contain a small portion of the cremated remains or other meaningful elements. Wearing such jewellery can provide comfort and a tangible connection to the deceased. 

It is a personal choice that allows individuals to carry their loved one's memory with them, symbolising their ongoing presence and keeping their spirit close.

Ultimately, the decision to wear cremation memorial jewelry is subjective and should be based on individual preferences and beliefs.
