Cremation jewellery offers a quiet, everyday way to keep a loved one’s memory close, worn rather than displayed. Unlike memorial diamonds, which transform ashes into a gemstone, this jewellery typically holds a small amount of ashes directly, either sealed inside a small chamber within the piece, or fused into glass or resin to create a unique swirled design.

Rings, pendants and lockets are the most popular choices, though bracelets and cufflinks are also available from many makers. Pieces are usually crafted in sterling silver, gold or platinum, and many can be personalised with engraving, a fingerprint, or a small portrait.

Below you’ll find UK jewellers and keepsake makers offering these services, each with their own range of styles and materials to choose from.

How much ash is needed for a piece of jewellery? Only a small pinch, most pieces need no more than a teaspoon or two of ashes, so there’s plenty left for other memorial options if you’d like.

Is the jewellery sealed and safe to wear? Yes, chambers are designed to be securely sealed, and glass or resin pieces have the ashes fused permanently into the material itself.

Can jewellery be engraved or personalised? Most makers offer engraving, and some can incorporate a fingerprint, handwriting, or a small photo alongside the ashes.

Can several family members each have a piece? Yes, a small amount of ashes goes a long way, and many families order matching or complementary pieces for several relatives.
