The back of this pendant can fit up to 10 characters of engraving, including spaces and simple symbols, in a single line across its widest point; multiple lines of fewer characters may be able to be accommodated.

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.

Gina was more than amazing. Her talent goes beyond the sentimental & one of a kind pieces of art. For each piece is as unique as our loved ones ashes. Forever captured in the jewelry. Now, a bit of my sweet, Lhasa Apso, Latte, is close to my heart, always. With each email I wrote. Gina responded so timely. She was always so empathetic & genuine. Often writing with detail regarding my baby, Latte. it was if I were her only customer. A talent one does not experience often. I can only speak from my experience. Gina, is a God send. She gave me something so beautiful, out of such a devastating situation. No one can bring my Latte back to me. Yet, my necklace, that is just inches from my own heart, is the next closest thing. Thank you again Gina, You’re one of a kind
Speechless
I can't express how much I LOVE and CHERISH this BEAUTIFUL necklace Gina made for me in honor of my mom. It is absolutely perfect, it’s beautiful! My 6 year old daughter finds comfort in this piece as she embraces it and kisses her Maw-Maw. I know both her and and I will cherish it forever.
My favorite piece of jewelry...ever!
Gina created a gorgeous heart pendant with ashes from my beloved 15-year-old Pugs who passed away within months of each other. Wolfgang and Porter were imprinted on my heart and soul, and it brings such great comfort to wear this heart near mine. Throughout the jewelry creation process, from mailing the remains to returning the unused portions along with the pendant, Gina was so responsive, respectful and kind. She asked me to share a little background and photos for her "board of inspirations", but only if I was comfortable doing so. When dealing with anyone in this day and age, it's rare to find such a caring person. It took me more than a year to decide how to honor Wolfie and Porter and with whom I would entrust their ashes, and I am so deeply comforted that I decided to have Gina create this gorgeous tilted heart necklace. The quality is superb, the "heart" inlay is as original as they were, and the reverse-side engraving is very pretty and easy to read. I wear this perfect heart every single day. Thank you, Gina!
PERFECT!!!
My heart is so very happy right now and my eyes full of happy tears as I look at the charm that Gina created for me! The heart charm necklace is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! It’s everything I hoped it would be and more!! I can’t thank her enough!! It's very special piece of my dad that fills a little bit of the emptiness in my heart! Gina was so easy to work with and responded so quickly every time I emailed her! Not to mention so compassionate! It was so worth every penny, the quality is amazing!!!
A most precious thing
I absolutely love my pendant/necklace. It's so special. The experience of purchasing it was great. Gina is a sweet, helpful and empathetic person. She truly cares about your experience throughout the whole process. Very responsive if you email her. The pendant is gorgeous. The size of it is perfect. Not to big, not to small. It's the size of a dime. It looks delicate but it's a very substantial piece of jewelry. Even the way it's packaged is special. I wish I could post a picture of mine. The engraving is very readable. I did a heart-Diesel-heart. It's beautiful. I think it's a great tribute and memorial to my sweet Diesel. I miss him every day and I'm happy to have a physical representation.
