At Close By Me, we believe that cremation jewelry can be a meaningful way to honor a beloved pet that has passed on. Pet ashes jewelry is increasingly chosen as a thoughtful and respectful memorial, allowing the love shared with a companion animal to be honored in a tangible way. When created with care and intention, cremation jewelry becomes not just an accessory, but a quiet tribute to the life and love you shared.

If you are thinking of purchasing jewelry made of pet ashes for someone else, it's best to get a better idea of their thoughts on the matter, as cremation jewelry can be deeply personal and is not always the right choice for everyone. In some cases, high-quality pet keepsake jewelry without ashes, engraved with a pet's name or paw print, will be more appreciated by grieving pet owners. You may even find that using pet ashes to create a special painting can be a meaningful alternative to cremation jewelry.

Ultimately, whether through cremation jewelry or another memorial keepsake, what matters most is choosing something that feels meaningful and respectful to you or the recipient.

Yes! Your beloved pet's ashes can be set into any of our cremation jewelry designs, and even custom paintings, regardless of whether it has a pet-specific design or not.

We design our cremation jewelry to preserve your pet's ashes for a lifetime, and thoughtful care helps ensure it stays beautiful for years to come. The confidence we have in our craftsmanship is why we offer a Lifetime Warranty on all cremation ash settings in our jewelry.

Our jewelry is designed to last, but like all fine jewelry, it benefits from consistent cleaning and maintenance. The high-quality metals we use in our designs — .925 sterling silver and 14k gold (yellow gold, rose gold, and white gold) — will stay looking their best with gentle care.

Regular cleaning with warm water, a little bit of gentle soap, and a soft cloth can go a long way to promote the longevity of your keepsake jewelry.

Close By Me Jewelry does not create lab-grown diamonds from ashes. Instead, we incorporate your pet’s ashes directly into our handcrafted cremation jewelry designs, including select styles that feature diamond or gemstone accents.

Both pet ashes jewelry and urns are meaningful ways to honor a beloved companion; the right choice depends on how you want to remember them.

A cremation urn provides a dedicated, stationary place in your home to keep the cremated remains of family members and lost pets with reverence. A keepsake urn is designed to hold a small portion of ashes in a more compact form. Close By Me offers a curated collection of decorative keepsake urns that hold a small portion of cremated remains for families who prefer a display piece.

Pet ashes jewelry, on the other hand, allows you to carry a small portion of their ashes with you each day, creating a wearable and deeply personal remembrance.

Many families choose one or even both options. What matters most is selecting a memorial that feels comforting and aligned with how you want to keep your pet close.

At Close By Me, each piece of pet ashes jewelry is a collaborative, handcrafted process. Our skilled jewelers create the metal portion of your piece, and then we handcraft the ashes setting right here in our Southern California studio. Using a clear, high-grade jewelry resin, we securely preserve your pet’s ashes within the design, showcasing their natural color and permanently bonding them to the metal. Every piece is made with intention and care, resulting in a lasting, wearable tribute to your beloved companion.
