Simple Steps to Fill Keepsake Jewellery with Ashes

Coping with the loss of a loved one can be an incredibly challenging time. Many people find solace in memorialising their loved ones in meaningful ways, such as keepsake jewellery. Keepsake jewellery allows you to keep a part of your loved one close, and today, we'll guide you through the simple steps to fill such jewellery with ashes safely and respectfully.

Before you begin, ensure you have selected the appropriate keepsake jewellery piece. Options such as the Dolphin Pendant offer a discreet and elegant choice for holding ashes.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Gather the Necessary Materials

To fill your keepsake jewellery, you'll need:

  • The chosen keepsake jewellery piece
  • A clean working area
  • A small funnel (often provided with the jewellery)
  • A small spoon
  • Adhesive (optional, for sealing)

Step 2: Prepare the Jewellery

Ensure that the chosen piece is clean and dry. The Dolphin Pendant typically has a screw opening which allows you to insert the ashes. Gently open the compartment according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 3: Transferring the Ashes

Lay out a clean cloth or paper to catch any spills. Using the small funnel, carefully spoon a small amount of ashes into the pendant's compartment. It may help to have a friend assist in holding the funnel steady during this step.

Step 4: Sealing the Jewellery

Once the ashes are safely inside, close the compartment securely. Most jewellery pieces, like the dolphin pendant, have a threaded screw cap, making it easy to seal. If you desire additional security, you can use a small amount of adhesive on the threads before closing the cap. Be sure to allow adequate drying time if adhesive is used.

Step 5: Wear with Love

Now, you can wear your keepsake jewellery close to your heart. It serves as a touching reminder of your loved one's presence in your life.

Keepsake jewellery is just one of many ways to honour a loved one. If you're looking for other memorial options, Caskets Direct offers a range of urns, such as the Athena Keepsake Urn which is another excellent option to consider.
