Have you ever wished your loved one could feel a
little bit closer? Cremation jewellery
is a unique and beautiful way to honour your loved ones by always keeping them
close to your heart. These pieces use a small amount of your loved one’s ashes,
turning them into personal keepsakes that can be passed down through
generations.
As this trend grows in popularity, the variety of
styles, materials, and applications is growing. While some cremation jewellery
is made for ashes, others are made with ashes.
There are endless beautiful ways to treasure your
departed with Memorial Jewellery for
ashes of a loved one. Pet cremation jewellery is also an option with most of
these products. Below we explore the basic categories of cremation jewellery
and then consider 4 great options for choosing the right item for you.
1. Turn Cremated Remains into Diamonds
To make synthetic diamonds from cremated remains,
several ounces of the ashes are placed in a crucible that can withstand massive
heat. They then are brought to over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit to allow all of
the elements except the carbon to oxidize.
First, the carbon will turn to graphite. The
graphite is placed in a core with a metal catalyst and a diamond seed crystal
into a diamond press. The graphite is heated to about 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit
and pressure of about 800,000 pounds per square inch is applied.
After several weeks the graphite will turn into a
rough crystal. It is then removed and cut with faceting tools to your
specifications. The entire process will take over a month, but an authentic
man-made diamond is forever, indeed.
2. Wear a Jewellery Urn for Ashes
A small urn that can be worn as a necklace, ring,
or bracelet — or even attach to a
keychain — will allow you to keep a
little of your loved one with you whenever you wish. Styles vary from classic
to contemporary and hold approximately 1/8 teaspoon (although some larger
vessels can hold more).
Most Urn jewellery
keeps the inside dedication private and uncovers nothing about what is
supported inside. If you prefer to wear the ashes visibly, you can select
jewellery where the cremated remains are visible through a glass vessel.
Some options allow for personalisation in the form
of your loved one’s name, birth, or other text and even images added to the
urn. Alternatively, a decorative charm containing these elements can be added
to be worn alongside the urn itself.
3. Commission Hand-Blown Glass Cremation Jewellery
Glass products made with cremated ashes can range
from beautiful hand-blown orbs to gem-like pieces in many shapes and sizes. A
variety of processes are used to craft these products, but most involve
carefully incorporating the ashes into molten glass.
As the cremated remains mix with the heated glass,
they become permanently fused and suspended within it. The encased cremation
ashes can create a swirling array of beautiful flecks and bubble patterns
within the glass.
The resulting piece can be worn as a pendant or
used as a bead in other pieces. Bigger glass spheres can be made for
paper-weight type decorations and other tabletop ornaments.
