This was a beautiful piece! I will always have a piece of my dad with me at all times. More pieces will be ordered for family!
Absolutely Gorgeous
When I started my search for cremation jewelry, Close By Me was the first one that caught my eye. I found lots of choices online but I kept coming back to Close By Me and I’m so glad I did. My pendant is perfect, even lovelier in person and exactly what I hoped for. Gina was a delight, so warm and personal. I love that she doesn’t add anything to the ashes which gives the overall effect a celestial hue. I wear it everyday. Thank you, Gina.
A Treasured Keepsake for My Beloved Companions
I recently purchased two cremation necklaces from Close By Me Jewelry, and I must say, they exceeded all my expectations. As a devoted dog (pug) owner, I wanted a meaningful way to honor the memories of my precious companions, Sid and Lily, who recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge. These necklaces have truly become a treasured keepsake, keeping their spirits close to my heart. First and foremost, the craftsmanship of the necklaces is impeccable. The attention to detail and the quality of the materials used are evident from the moment you hold them in your hands. The delicate pendants, beautifully designed with intricate patterns, perfectly encapsulate the essence of my beloved pugs. The silver finish adds a touch of elegance, making them suitable for any occasion. For years, I had contemplated the idea of one day being able to turn my dog's ashes into jewelry but was hesitant due to the assumption that such a unique and sentimental creation would come with a hefty price tag. However, upon stumbling across Close By Me's website, I was pleasantly surprised to find their prices incredibly competitive, and my excitement grew as I realized my dream was finally within reach. Wearing these necklaces has brought me immense comfort and a sense of peace. They serve as a constant reminder of the unconditional love, joy, and laughter Sid and Lily brought into my life. The weight of the pendants is reassuring, offering a soothing presence as if my beloved pugs are still by my side, watching over me. Moreover, I must commend Close By Me Jewelry's exceptional customer service. From the moment I placed my order, their team demonstrated compassion, patience, and understanding. They went above and beyond to address my queries and concerns, ensuring a smooth and seamless experience. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is truly commendable. In a world where sentimentality and grief intertwine, Close By Me Jewelry has created something truly remarkable. Their cremation necklaces are more than just pieces of jewelry; they are a testament to our eternal bond with our departed companions. I wholeheartedly recommend Close By Me Jewelry to anyone seeking a heartfelt and beautiful way to honor their beloved pets. Thanks to these remarkable necklaces, I truly feel that my Sid and Lily will forever be with me. Thank you, Close By Me Jewelry, for creating such a meaningful and exquisite tribute to my beloved pugs. You have given me a source of comfort that I will cherish for a lifetime.
Beautiful piece, beautiful process
When my father passed, I was not impressed with the jewelry offerings provided by the funeral home. I searched the internet to see what other type of jewelry was out there and when I found Close By Me, I knew I had found exactly what I was looking for. I knew right away that this size/design was what I wanted. The next part was hard. The idea of shipping my father's cremains made me nervous, but I knew this is what I needed to do in order to get my special piece. After I placed my order, I received an email from Gina with instructions on how to ship the cremains. In her email, she also expressed her interest in seeing pictures and learning about the dear loved ones she works with. I did not opt for the shipping kit when I ordered, so I was on my own to get everything together. I printed my father's obituary, along with another photo with a handwritten note to Gina about him. When you ship via USPS, there are specific requirements for shipping human remains. No other carrier handles human remains, so I highly recommend shipping via USPS and disclosing it contains human remains. The postal worker handled the situation with such care and dignity as he packaged/boxed everything. This gave me great confidence that my dad's remains would make it to Gina safely and with care. Two days later, I received a very kind message from Gina letting me know that my dad's cremains had made it to her safely and that she was so grateful to learn more about him through the information I sent. She was so sweet and considerate and prompt with all communication. I truly felt like she actually cared about my dad and me. She handled everything with empathy and kindness. It was a very personal experience, for sure. I received my piece about 3.5 weeks after the initial order was placed. It is so incredibly beautiful in person. It is everything I hoped it would be and more. I feel so good about the entire process and love having my dad with me in this way. I told Gina that I hope I don't need her services in the near future, but if/when I do, she can be assured I will be back. In the meantime, I'm telling everyone I can that this is the way to go.
A daughter's love
After I ordered a necklace with my son's ashes his daughter decided that she wanted to keep her dad close to her. It had been a year since his death and finally she was able to move on, so I got this necklace for her. Gina and staff are wonderful and deliver quality jewelry and excellent customer service. We look closebyme!
