How do I care for my cremation jewelry?

Caring for cremation jewelry is very similar to many other types of jewelry. It really depends on the type of material it is made out of: sterling silver, stainless steel or gold. Also, glass and wood need to be treated differently.

Who will put the ashes in my pendant?

Each cremation pendant comes with the right tools for you to transfer the ashes into the ash holder jewelry. If you feel uncomfortable to fill the pendant by yourself, we suggest asking the funeral director or crematory director.

How much cremation ashes can the pendant hold?

The cremation pendants typically hold between a quarter of a teaspoon to a full teaspoon of ashes.

What else can I put in my pendant?

The ash pendant can be filled with anything you like, such as a lock of hair, crushed ceremonial flowers, or earth from a special site, just to name a few remembrances. Just remember that the pendant will not fit much on the inside.

Will the pendant be waterproof?

Once the pendant is sealed with the sealant, it is safe in the water. However, because of the nature of the jewelry, we do not recommend wearing the pendant while swimming or showering.

How will the pendant open?

Our cremation ash containers usually open with a screw from the back or the top.

What is the best way to take care of cremation jewelry?

First, it's important to understand that gold is a soft metal and therefore capable of obtaining dents and/or scratches. Below are some of the top Do’s and Don'ts for our gold cremation jewelry:

Do’s:

Do store your gold jewelry separate from other jewelry. Gold is a soft metal and so it may easily bend or get scratched if you allow it to mix with other jewelry. If possible, separate each individual piece by using a jewelry box with a separator. Other options are to individually wrap each piece of jewelry in a piece of soft cloth.

Do hang up gold cremation necklaces so that the chains do not get tangled.

Do buff your gold jewelry on a regular basis. You can really make your gold jewelry shine by using a soft chamois cloth and then gently rubbing the surface.

Don'ts:

Do not wear your gold jewelry while engaging in high impact activties - like sports, moving heavy objects (especially for gold cremation rings). This can dent or scratch the gold.

Do not wear your gold cremation jewelry in the pool! Gold hates chlorine, it will cause discoloration.

Do not wear gold jewelry while cleaning. Household cleaners also can damage gold due to the acids or abrasives inside them.

Do not put on cosmetics after you put on your gold jewelry. Cosmetics like perfume, lotions, makeup or hairspray have the ability to damage gold. If you put these cosmetics on before you put on your jewelry, you will have a better chance of keeping it damage free.
