The back of this pendant can be engraved in block or script font with quite a few characters in multiple lines, including spaces and simple symbols. Examples of the font options available for engraving can be seen here. If you have any engraving-related questions, please submit your inquiry in the contact form below or send us an email.
This is the largest size of this design that we carry, the other sizes can be seen here in sterling silver: 6mm | 8mm | 12mm
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.

Spectacular
My whole experience with Gina was amazing. She kept me informed the through the whole process and contacted me several times to ensure the order was how I wanted. She clearly cares for what she is doing. As for the pendant it is beautiful. One caveat I would say is it is probably more suited for females than males but only due to the delicate chain it comes with. I also had a nice little unexpected surprise in with the pendant that shows how much she cares for her customers. Thank you Gina
Amazing
This is my 3rd order so far. I have gotten myself pieces as well as bought many gifts for family with my mother’s ashes. Can’t say enough about the jewelry and the quality. Gina is amazing to work with. She really makes you feel your loved one is safe and keeps you informed every step of the way. So thankful for the quality and care she has put into each piece I have received.
Gift for my BF
I purchased this necklace as a gift for my bestie when her mom passed away. I thought this would be a wonderful way to keep her mom close to her. The shape reminded me of a full moon, a symbol of the mother. Every bit of this creation is stunning and makes for a very special and unique gift that I cannot wait to give. Working with Gina was also fantastic. She is very personable and puts so much love and thought into the jewelry she creates, down to the beautiful packaging. I highly recommend this artist and her creations. They are so very special.
Absolutely Awesome
I love this piece. Gina and her team created exactly what I had in mind. I have my husband's handwriting engraved on the back of the necklace, and I feel so close to him when I am wearing it. I sent Gina so many questions before ordering, and she was so sweet, caring, personable, and informative, in all her responses. Another thing, I was really impressed by the way she handled my husband's ashes. She was so considerate and protective of them. You certainly won't be disappointed, when you place your order.
Stunning
I had anticipated receiving a lovely piece of jewellery. I never expected to be stunned by what came in the mail. This piece is so gorgeous. It’s rather substantial and so I feel it around my neck. Each time I fiddle with it I am brought to tears again after losing my sweet dog Piper. Gina’s customer service feels like I’m talking to a friend who cares and understands what the loss of your pet feels like. I will cherish this pendant forever.
