  • Preparation: Begin by gathering the necessary tools—a clean work area, a small funnel, and adhesive if the jewellery requires it.
  • Adhere to Instructions: Every piece of cremation jewellery from Premium Urns comes with its own set of guidelines. Be sure to follow the specific instructions that come with your jewellery for a secure fill.
  • Adding the Ashes: Using a small funnel, gently pour a very small amount of ashes into the jewellery compartment. Pieces like the Mini Tree of Life 25mm Thimble Urn - Rose Gold Tone are designed to ease this process but it’s important to proceed carefully.
  • Securing the Ashes: If the jewellery has a threaded or plug closure, ensure it's securely tightened. For designs requiring adhesive, wait for the glue to dry fully to guarantee closure.
