What is cremation jewellery

Cremation jewellery is a broad term that covers jewellery intended to keep a small amount of cremated ashes or hair of a deceased person or pet. Cremation jewellery can most commonly be found as pendants and necklaces but also come in other forms like rings and bracelets. As a loved one is cremated, their ashes are normally stored in an urn with any excess ash being scattered or buried. Cremation jewellery can come in many different materials and styles, plated or solid precious metals and can even feature precious gemstones such as diamonds. They are generally intended to look as a standard piece of jewellery with no defining feature to reveal their true purpose. Cremation jewellery allows you to carry your loved ones ashes with you in a dignified way so that you can keep them close to your heart in your day to day.
