About Cremation Jewelry
Cremation jewelry lets you keep a small portion of your loved one's ashes with you. These memorial pendants and urn necklaces have a hollow chamber (usually less than one cubic inch) that holds cremains, a lock of hair, dried flower petals, or a pinch of burial soil.
Most pieces look like regular jewelry. The keepsake chamber is hidden, so only you know what the necklace holds. Many families order multiple pendants so siblings, children, or close friends can each have one.
Cremation jewelry also works for pet ashes. If you've lost a dog, cat, or other beloved pet, a simple urn necklace gives you a way to keep them close.
Materials & Styles
Our cremation pendants come in sterling silver, rose gold vermeil, pewter, onyx, and obsidian. Styles range from crosses and hearts to simple cylinders and nature-inspired designs.
Religious options include sparkling cross pendants and designs that complement prayer cards or other faith-based memorial items. For something understated, the cylinder and teardrop styles work well with any wardrobe.
Prices range from $50 to $300, depending on material and design.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much ash fits in a cremation necklace?
Most cremation pendants hold less than one cubic inch of cremated remains. That's a small pinch, roughly equivalent to 1/8 teaspoon. A standard adult cremation produces far more ash than needed, so you'll have plenty for multiple keepsakes if desired.
Can cremation jewelry hold anything besides ashes?
Yes. The chamber can hold a lock of hair, dried flower petals from the funeral, a small amount of burial soil, or any tiny memento. Some families use the same pendant for different keepsakes over time.
How do I fill a cremation necklace?
Most urn necklaces have a small screw at the top or bottom of the pendant. Use the included funnel kit (or a piece of paper rolled into a cone) to pour ashes into the opening. Once filled, secure the screw and apply a drop of adhesive if you want a permanent seal. Your funeral home can also help with this.
Is cremation jewelry noticeable when worn?
No. These pendants are lightweight and look like ordinary necklaces. The ashes chamber is completely hidden. You can wear cremation jewelry daily without anyone knowing its purpose unless you choose to share.
Can I order multiple pieces for family members?
Absolutely. Many families order several pendants so each person can carry a portion of their loved one's ashes. This is common among adult siblings or close friends who want to share the memorial.
