What Is Cremation Jewelry?
Cremation jewelry is any piece of jewelry, from necklaces to rings to key chains, that memorialize the loss of your loved one.
The ashes of your dearly departed are incorporated into the jewelry somehow. It can either be in the form of a tiny urn in the jewelry which can hold a small amount of their ashes. Or, it can be in the form of resin or other material in which the ashes are mixed in during the creation process.
You can order unique jewelry pieces with pictures etched in the material of the jewelry. Or you can make yourself jewelry for ashes with an at-home resin kit available from most craft stores.
Can You Put Ashes in Resin?
Resin can be molded into any shape you would like by using custom molds. Resin is a blend of plastic products that can mimic the look of stone in your jewelry. While you’re making your resin mold, you can add any additional items you would like. You can add in colors and glitter to make it shine, and of course, you can add ashes as well.
You can create any type of jewelry you want. The cremation necklace is the most common, from the drop necklace to the timeless pendant, necklaces are a great choice. Especially if you want to make it yourself, the pendant necklace with a resin inlay that incorporates your loved one’s ashes is a great at-home project to forever memorialize your family member.
Make Your Own Unique Cremation Jewelry
By incorporating your loved one’s ashes into your resin you can create a unique piece of jewelry that no one else will have. Ashes in jewelry are a distinct and loving way to memorialize your family member into a unique item.
Making your own memorial cremation jewelry allows you to keep their memory alive forever. It also provides a unique and discreet way to keep your loved one near you every day. You can wear your jewelry everywhere you go, and unless you tell people, nobody has to know.
This can be something you share only with your family if you want to. Or you can tell anyone who mentions the beauty of your necklace.
Keep Your Loved One With You Forever
Making your own jewelry this way allows you to express your creativity while also expressing your love for your recently departed. Now you can create your unique cremation jewelry from home and keep a small piece of your family member with you every day.
