14K Gold Cremation Necklaces

It’s a personal choice, and there is no right or wrong — only what brings you a sense of connection, peace, and remembrance. Many people find comfort in carrying their loved one close each day, and memorial jewelry offers a meaningful, discreet way to do so.

Close By Me cremation necklaces are thoughtfully designed to be beautiful, lasting tributes that honor the bond you share with your loved one.

Each piece of Close By Me cremation jewelry is handcrafted here in our studio using our patented process: A small amount of your loved one's ashes is combined with a clear, high-grade jewelry resin that solidifies them and permanently bonds them to the jewelry. The finished ashes setting resembles glass or stone and showcases their natural color.

Our high-quality keepsake jewelry — including both cremation jewelry and non-cremation keepsakes — is very water-resistant, meaning it can handle light moisture from rain, washing your hands, and showering. The resin used to preserve your loved one’s ashes and fine metals are designed for durability.

That said, we recommend avoiding exposure to saltwater, chlorine, alcohol-based products, and other harsh chemicals, as these can affect both the metal and the ashes setting.

Most 14k gold cremation jewelry orders are completed within 4 to 10 weeks after we receive the ashes. This includes production time with our jeweler (approximately 3–8 weeks) and an additional 1–2 weeks for setting the ashes and preparing the finished jewelry for shipment.

As soon as your loved one’s ashes arrive, we’ll reach out to confirm and provide a personalized timeframe for your specific memorial necklace.

Yes! Select 14k gold cremation jewelry designs are available with diamonds (lab-grown), or other stones upon request.

If you’re looking to add diamonds or other stones — such as birthstones — to a design that doesn’t already include them, we encourage you to reach out. We would be happy to discuss options and help create a design that’s meaningful for you.

To keep your 14k gold cremation necklace looking its best, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing. For a deeper clean, use lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap — avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing or wearing again. Regular care helps maintain the beauty and longevity of your keepsake jewelry, ensuring your memorial piece remains a beautiful tribute for years to come.
