Keepsake Jewellery Pendants: Carrying Your Loved One With You
Keepsake Jewellery Pendants: Carrying Your Loved One With You
Keepsake jewellery pendants offer a beautiful way to honour a loved one, allowing you to carry a small amount of cremated ashes with you wherever you go. At Premium Urns, we offer a carefully curated range of cremation jewellery pendants in sterling silver, gold plated, and stainless steel.
What Is a Keepsake Jewellery Pendant?
A keepsake jewellery pendant — also called a cremation pendant or memorial pendant — is a piece of jewellery with a small, sealed chamber inside designed to hold a tiny amount of cremated remains. The chamber is typically accessed via a small threaded screw at the base or back of the pendant.
Types of Cremation Jewellery Pendants
Sterling Silver Cremation Pendants
Sterling silver cremation jewellery is the most popular choice for its timeless elegance, durability, and hypoallergenic properties. Designs range from simple teardrops and hearts to intricate tree of life and butterfly motifs.
Gold Plated Cremation Pendants
Gold plated cremation pendants offer the warmth and luxury of gold at a more accessible price point.
Stainless Steel Cremation Pendants
Stainless steel cremation jewellery is the most durable and low-maintenance option, ideal for active wearers or those who prefer a modern aesthetic.
Pet Cremation Jewellery
Pet cremation jewellery allows you to keep your animal companion close with paw print and pet-inspired designs.
How to Fill a Cremation Pendant With Ashes
- Prepare your space. Choose a calm, private area with a clean cloth beneath you.
- Open the pendant. Use the small screwdriver provided to carefully unscrew the base.
- Use the funnel. Insert the included funnel into the opening.
- Add the ashes. Using a small spoon, carefully add a small amount of ashes — less than a teaspoon.
- Seal the pendant. Replace the screw and tighten gently but firmly.
- Optional: seal with adhesive. Apply a tiny amount of clear adhesive around the screw thread for extra security.
Caring for Your Cremation Jewellery
- Remove jewellery before swimming, bathing, or exercising
- Store in a soft pouch or jewellery box when not wearing
- Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth
- Check the screw seal periodically to ensure it remains secure
