This piece is also featured as a charm on our sterling silver single bangle, three-ring interlocking bangle, and rolo chain charm bracelets.
Each piece is set in our office, located in Southern California. Only a very small amount of ashes is used in the setting process; the exact amount needed depends on the size and depth of the piece's setting, but for simplicity's sake, a teaspoon of ashes will suffice for most orders. The setting process solidifies the ashes and brings out their natural color, which may differ from those in the piece photographed. Within 1 business day of placing your order, you will receive a detailed order confirmation with information and instructions relevant to your unique order.

Can I put the ashes in myself or have my local funeral home do it?
Our cremation jewelry is crafted using a patented process that solidifies the ashes and bonds them directly to the metal. Because of this unique method, our pieces must be completed in our studio and cannot be done at home or by a funeral home. This ensures your memorial jewelry is durable, long-lasting, and made exactly as intended.
Is it okay to wear my cremation jewelry in the shower, pool, or ocean?
We do not recommend wearing your cremation jewelry in the pool or ocean, as chlorine and saltwater can be damaging to the ashes setting and metal.
You may wear your piece in the shower, but keep in mind the minerals and chemicals present in many skincare products can discolor or mattify the ashes setting. While it's best to remove your cremation jewelry before showering, if you do choose to leave it on, we recommend rinsing it thoroughly and drying it afterward to prevent any residue buildup.
All of our cremation jewelry comes with a lifetime warranty for the ashes setting. If the setting ever becomes dull, discolored, or damaged, you can send it back to us to be restored or redone. There is no fee for this service; we only ask that you cover the shipping costs.
Can I wear my cremation jewelry every day?
Yes, absolutely! Our cremation jewelry is created to be worn as often as you’d like — whether that's every day, on special occasions, or anything in between.
That said, it is still fine jewelry, so a bit of mindful care will help preserve its beauty over time. We recommend removing your piece before activities that may involve physical impact or contact with chemicals, such as exercising, swimming, gardening, or cleaning. This helps protect both the metal and the ashes setting.

Will the color of the ashes setting match the one pictured?
Ashes are like fingerprints: entirely unique to your loved one. No color is added to the ashes during the setting process, so the finished jewelry will reflect their natural hue, which may differ from those photographed.
Can I send something other than or in addition to ashes, such as hair, breastmilk, or another sentimental material?
Yes! We are happy to accept a variety of other materials, including but not limited to: hair/fur, sand, soil, powdered breastmilk, dried flower petals, fabric, crushed gemstones, and more. Please reach out to discuss your unique memorial setting.

Phenomenal Quality
My overall experience was nothing short of fantastic. From start to finish Gina was very attentive and caring. It is a difficult time losing a loved one and you can truly tell she cares and would love to hear about your loved one who has passed. My dog Diamond passed away in April after 13.5 years. She was my best friend and I wanted a way to carry her with me everyday as I promised I would always do. Gina gave me the option of having a perfect Diamond shaped setting that I can carry with me forever. The sterling silver setting is beautiful, great quality, and the perfect dainty size, like my little girl. The packaging was very professional, the order was packed very well and with care. I recommend Gina for any memorial jewelry that is close to your heart.
Perfect
This piece is perfect! I love the size of the setting and the chain and it is something that can easily be layered with other necklaces. Both of my parents ashes were set in this piece and she was able to set them separately so that you can see them both as they were distinctly different colors! This was one of 5 pieces we had made for our family and I am so happy with them all!
Better than expected!
I chose this piece for my 15 year old daughter so that she could carry a piece of Dad with her. The piece turned out better than I imagined. It is the perfect style and size for her and she is thrilled beyond measure. I am so touched that she will be able to wear this every day and hold him close to her heart. Beyond the beauty and quality of the jewelry, the service I received was amazing. I loved the personal touches and having the opportunity to share the stories about my loved one.
