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.

Very special…
I rarely leave reviews but felt it was important to share my experience. The dome pendant met every expectation in terms of quality and the compassion during the process was notable. Received it today and wore it immediately. I will carry love in my heart until I too pass, but feel comfort that I can wear and carry something of my loved companion with me. Frankly, I don’t wear jewelry except for a ring, but I know wearing this pendant will warm my heart in a way I never thought would matter this much. I hope others will also find you as they search for something special to recognize the loss and also celebrate the love and connection that means so much. Thank you for the care and thoughtfulness behind our interaction which was very much appreciated.

Lovely Necklace
When my ex-husband died suddenly and my daughter's birthday was nearing, I began searching jewelers for a unique cremation necklace with specifications from my daughter on exactly what she wanted. What joy in finding Gina's site! Not only was her customer service and communication excellent, but her sweet, genuine, heartfelt words and condolences were so appreciated. The necklace is absolutely beautiful and everything we could hope for. Thank you so much Gina! --will be ordering another for my younger daughter's birthday soon.
Treasured memory
Words can't describe what emotional was running through my heart when I opened the package. To see how beautiful the necklace is and how Gina put the effort to engrave the everlasting love symbol I requested at the back of the dome is beyond my imagination. Thank you so much Gina for making it so personal. You really show how passionate you are with what you do.
Amazing
I ordered this necklace with my father’s ashes who passed away recently. Gina was incredibly kind and sensitive throughout the entire process and responded quickly with any questions or feedback I had. It arrived when promised, if not sooner and she went out of her way to let me know when the ashes arrived which I greatly appreciated. I absolutely love the necklace. It looks beautiful online but is even more special in person. It was packaged very nicely and it was well worth the wait and the cost. It is the perfect size to wear as an everyday necklace for someone like me who doesn’t wear much jewelry. It is the perfect way to keep my dad with me everyday. I would highly recommend!!!
