It can also be made from a piece of their jewellery they have left you.


Memorial jewelry can be a beautiful and personal way to remember someone who is no longer with us. It is not a unique idea and has been made for many centuries in the UK, a great collection can be found at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Some of these pieces date back to the 1600's

You will also need to decide what design you want the jewelry to have. There are many different designs available, so you can find something that is personal and meaningful to you.

How much ashes do you need to make Memorial Jewellery?

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.

How much does it cost to get ashes made into Memorial Jewellery?

From £90 to £3,000 or more. The cost depends on the complexity of the design you choose and the materials used. I make remembrance jewellery in 925 sterling silver, solid 9k golds (White Gold, Yellow Gold, and Rose Gold) solid 18k golds (White Gold, Yellow Gold, and Rose Gold) and platinum.


Some designs also have gemstones set. So the choice of diamond, sapphires or a semi precious stone will influence the cost.


All my jewellery is priced on this website, so please browse through all the collections. I also offer a custom bespoke service where you can commission your own idea.


In addition I can give you a quote to recycle your own jewellery into a new piece of memorial jewellery


What Is The Best Memorial Jewellery?

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.



Does Jewellery Survive Cremation?

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. 



Is It OK To Wear Cremation Memorial 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.
