Cremation Jewelry Near Me? How to Buy It Online

When you lose someone you love, it is natural to want something you can hold. Many families start by searching for cremation jewelry near them, only to find that most local jewelry stores do not carry it, and funeral homes may have only a few pieces to choose from. The good news is that you can choose a meaningful piece from home, at your own pace, and have it sent to your door. This guide walks you through what to look for, how to fill it, and what to expect when you order online.

Why it is hard to find cremation jewelry in local stores

Cremation jewelry is a small, special kind of jewelry. Most mall and main street jewelers do not stock it, and the few shops that do often have only a handful of designs. That can make an already hard time feel harder. Shopping online lets you see many styles side by side, read what each one holds, and take as long as you need. There is no one waiting at the counter and no rush to decide.

What cremation jewelry is

Cremation jewelry looks like an everyday necklace, bracelet, ring or keychain, but it has a tiny space inside. That space holds a small pinch of ashes or a few strands of hair. A small screw or cap closes it. To everyone else it simply looks like a pretty piece of jewelry. To you, it means your loved one is close.

How to choose the right piece

Think about how you will carry it

• A necklace keeps them close to your heart. Our necklaces come on a 22-inch chain. A good place to start is our Forever in My Heart Signature Cremation Necklace, the piece our store is named for.
• A bracelet is a quiet choice you can wear every day. Our cremation cuff bracelets have "Forever in my heart" engraved on the inside, so the words stay private against your wrist.
• A ring is small and simple. Our heart cremation ring comes in sizes 5 to 10.
• A keychain is a good fit for anyone who does not wear jewelry. Everyone carries keys. See our cremation keychains.

Choose words or a design that feels like them

Some people want 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." Others want a piece made for one person, like a necklace for Mom or for Dad. If you are shopping for a man, our necklaces for men are a simple place to start.

Pick a finish you will enjoy wearing

Most of our pieces are 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.

What to check before you buy online

• What comes in the box. Every one of our necklaces, rings and keychains comes with a small funnel for filling. Our bracelets come with a funnel and a small needle-like tool to help guide the ashes in.

How to fill your cremation jewelry at home

Many people worry about this part, but it is gentle and simple. There is no right pace. Take your time, and ask a family member to sit with you if that helps.

1. Set up a calm space. Lay a sheet of white paper on a table so any ashes that spill are easy to gather back up.
2. Open the piece. Unscrew the small cap or screw. On a bracelet, remove the small screw at one end of the cuff.
3. Add a small pinch. Set the included funnel in the opening and gently add a small pinch of ashes or a few strands of hair. On a bracelet, use the small tool to guide the ashes in. You only need a little.
4. Close it snugly. Screw the cap or screw back on until it is snug.
5. Seal it if you like. If you want the ashes sealed in, add a small drop of glue to the screw threads before you close it.

Some families prefer to have a funeral home help with this step, and that is perfectly fine too.

Caring for your piece

To keep your jewelry looking its best, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and keep it away from harsh cleaners and chemicals.
