Ashes Jewellery FAQ

Ashes jewellery, also known as memorial or cremation jewellery, is a deeply personal way to keep a loved one close after they’ve passed. It incorporates a small portion of a person's ashes (or sometimes hair) into wearable pieces that serve as lasting tributes. Here are some of the most popular types:

These pieces contain a discreet chamber to hold a tiny amount of ashes or hair, allowing you to wear a subtle and elegant memorial close to your heart.

Created by mixing ashes with resin, this style can be shaped into rings, necklaces, and more, offering a custom, handcrafted keepsake.

In this method, ashes are fused into glass and set into jewellery, creating a timeless, artistic tribute.

These are lab-created diamonds formed using carbon extracted from ashes or hair. Each diamond is entirely unique, offering a sparkling and meaningful way to honour your loved one.

Ashes jewellery offers a beautiful, tangible connection to those you've lost—transforming their memory into something you can carry with you every day.

Self-filled ashes jewellery is a type of memorial jewellery that allows you to place a small amount of a loved one’s ashes—or a lock of hair—into the piece yourself, rather than having it filled by a jeweller. These pieces are designed with a discreet compartment or chamber to securely hold the ashes.

They usually come with a small filling kit, which often includes a funnel and detailed instructions, making it easier to transfer the ashes at home in a respectful and personal way. Once filled, the jewellery typically seals with a secure screw or closure to ensure the contents are safely contained.

Self-filled ashes jewellery offers a more intimate experience, allowing you to be directly involved in the process of remembrance. It’s also a practical and comforting choice for those who prefer to keep everything close to home.

Yes, ashes necklaces are thoughtfully designed to be secure and reliable. Each piece typically features a small chamber to hold a portion of your loved one’s ashes, sealed with a threaded screw or other secure closure. Many designs also include a rubber gasket to provide added protection against moisture and accidental opening.

For extra peace of mind, you can permanently seal the chamber with a small amount of jewelry-grade adhesive. If you’re unsure, a local jeweller can help you seal it professionally to ensure it remains secure.
