When someone you love is gone, it can help to keep a small part of them close. Cremation jewelry lets you do that in a quiet, everyday way. But with so many shapes and styles, it can be hard to know where to start. This simple guide walks you through how to choose a piece that feels right for you, one small step at a time.
Cremation jewelry, also called memorial or remembrance jewelry, looks like an everyday necklace, bracelet, ring or keychain. Inside, it has a tiny space that holds a small pinch of ashes or a few strands of hair. A small screw closes it. To everyone else, it looks like a pretty piece of jewelry. To you, it is a way to carry your loved one with you every day.
The shape can say a lot about the person you are remembering. A heart is the classic choice, like our Always in My Heart Classic Cremation Necklace. Some families choose a teardrop with a heart cutout, a tree of life for someone who loved nature and family, or angel wings for someone now watching over them. For someone who loved the open road, there is a motorcycle necklace. If you are not sure, our best-selling cremation necklaces are a good place to start.
Some pieces carry a few words that say it all. Our Always in My Heart pieces are engraved "Always in my heart," and our Forever in My Heart pieces carry the words "Forever in my heart."
You can also choose a piece made for one special person:
If you are choosing for a man, our necklaces for men have simple, strong designs.
Our pieces are made of stainless steel, which won't rust or tarnish and is made for everyday wear. If your loved one loved gold, some pieces also come in 14k gold plated, such as the Always in My Heart Classic Gold necklace and the gold Forever in My Heart bracelet.
A good piece closes with a small screw that tightens snugly. Here is what comes with ours:
If you want the ashes sealed in, add a small drop of glue to the screw before you close it.
If you still feel unsure, these questions can help you narrow it down:
Many families find comfort in each person having their own piece. A son might carry a keychain, a daughter a heart necklace, and a grandchild a ring. A small pinch of ashes goes into each one, so everyone can keep a part of the person they love. It can also ease the worry of where a loved one should rest, because everyone has them close.

Yes. A few strands of hair fit inside each piece.
Lay down a sheet of white paper, open the small screw, and use the funnel that comes with your piece to add a small pinch. Close it snugly, with a drop of glue on the screw if you like. A funeral home can also help.
