If your loved one has passed away, you may wish to preserve their memory through commemorative jewellery. This is the process of transforming an aspect of your loved one into a wearable gemstone or decorative item, so that you can keep them with you at all times. There are a range of options available if you wish to invest in this kind of memorial jewellery, where you can incorporate ashes, hair or handwritten messages into your special item.
Read on for an overview of the various kinds of items you can choose from.
Jewellery From Cremation Ashes
The most common type of memorial jewellery involves the preservation of cremation ashes either in a custom made gemstone or within a sealed pendant. These can then be incorporated into earrings, bracelets, necklaces or cufflinks, so that your loved one can always be kept close.
Engraved Jewellery
An alternative option is to choose an engraving for your jewellery that represents your loved one in some way. This could include an engraved message derived from their handwriting, an engraving of heartbeat soundwaves, or a fingerprint. For a beloved pet, you can also engrave paw or nose prints.
Preserved Hair Jewellery
Memorial jewellery can also consist of small pieces of your loved one’s hair, which can be weaved into bracelet chains or preserved in resin gemstones or lockets. As with the commemorative ashes jewellery, it is up to you how the hair is integrated into the jewellery, where you may prefer a more subtle design.
Other Options
Ashes, hair and messages can be incorporated into all kinds of items that will keep your loved one with you. Keyrings or wallet attachments are an alternative to jewellery that also provides a daily reminder of the person who has passed away, whilst decorative urns, trinket boxes or hanging pendants can keep your loved one present in your home.
