Setting: 11mm

All dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly with every casting.
The inside of the band on this piece can accommodate an engraving of up to 10 characters, including spaces and simple symbols. Examples of the font options available for engraving can be seen here. If you have any engraving-related questions or want to verify if your desired phrase will work, please submit your inquiry in the contact form below or send us an email.
Another one of our pieces featuring a split shank band has an oval setting; carried on our website in sterling silver and all colors of 14k gold.
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.

Beautiful piece. Excellent quality. I will treasure this forever.
Such a beautiful and lasting way to remember my precious son
In early 2020, Gina created the most beautiful ring in memory of my beloved father who passed away at the age of 70, which I have worn with love since receiving it. When my beloved 24-year-old son Davis died very suddenly in August of 2021, there was no question in my mind that she would create stunning pieces of art that keep my sweet boy close to me still, and the comfort that her art has brought me is immeasurable. Gina treats her creative gift as a calling, and the compassion and reverence she has for the work she does is apparent in every aspect of working with her. I was so touched when she asked for a photo of my son so that as she worked, she was able to see him and pay tribute to his memory while making my ring. I cannot recommend highly enough, while the grieving process is incredibly painful, wearing my jewelry helps me to still feel connected to the one I miss so much, and I am so grateful to her for her work.
PERFECTION!!!!!
First of all, I am so very glad that I chose closebyme jewerly to make the perfect gift for my daughter. She lost her seven year old son to cancer after a three year battle. I ordered this ring for her and she fell in love with it! The service Gina provided me was excellent. Any questions or concerns I had, she was quick to get back with me.Her compassion and kindness was overwhelming and I couldn't have asked for anyone with a bigger heart than her to make this special piece for me. I also received it sooner than expected but she wanted to make sure we got it in time for Christmas! Thank you,Gina!!!
Simple Yet Elegent
My ring arrived today. It is more beautiful than I expected. Today is exactly one month since my Yorkie Higgins passed away so its arrival was right on time. I can't begin to tell you how much this jewelry means to me. It's like having my beloved boy back with me. Thank you for always being kind and caring. I appreciated that aspect of the transaction more than you will ever know. Wishing you well in all you do.
Perfect!!!!
I love this ring ! It is beautiful! More than I dreamed it would be. Beautifully made and full of love ...I never take it off .
