The loss of a loved one can conjure up a number of emotions. You’ll likely feel angry, sad, anxious, overwhelmed and most likely confused about what comes next. One part of loss is figuring out how to best honour and remember them in a way that best represents them, while also providing you with peace and a sense of connection. A beautiful way is through memorial jewellery, and if your loved one chose a cremation, our ashes jewellery and urn jewellery becomes a possibility.
Traditionally, a loved one’s ashes are scattered in a place of significance, held in an urn that’s kept in the home or even incorporated into a memorial garden. But what if you want to keep your loved one’s ashes closer to you, taking them with you no matter where life takes you? Ashes jewellery offers a unique way to do just that, allowing you to wear them close to your heart. In this blog, we’ll be looking at the difference between ashes jewellery and urn jewellery, and discussing the benefits of each so you can find the right design for you.
What is Ashes into Jewellery?
Ashes jewellery, also known as “ashes into jewellery” involves incorporating a small amount of your loved one’s ashes into colourful resin which is then set into beautiful jewellery. The process at Inscripture begins with you sending us a small portion of the ashes, which we then carefully blend with one of 12 different colours of resin. Our talented craftsmen then carefully set the resin into your chosen ring, necklace, charm or pendant, creating you a unique and personalised piece of ashes jewellery.
What is Urn Jewellery?
Urn jewellery, although similar in its sentiment, allows you to capture your loved one’s ashes in a slightly different way. This time, the jewellery pieces are designed to hold a small amount of ashes in a discreet compartment within the jewellery. Rather than sending us the ashes, we’ll send you your chosen design along with a funnel kit so you can fill the item with your loved one’s ashes in the comfort of your own home. Much of our urn jewellery can also be customised with engravings such as photos, names, dates, messages, fingerprints and even examples of your loved one’s real handwriting.
The Benefits of Ashes Jewellery & Urn Jewellery
Both ashes jewellery and urn jewellery can be a thoughtful way of helping you cope with the loss of a loved one. As we mentioned in the introduction, grief can come with a lot of emotion including confusion and anger, but by wearing a piece of memorial jewellery, you can find a sense of peace and permanence to help you navigate through these varying emotions. They allow you to find a constant physical connection to your loved one, and in those moments where life gets too much, you only need to look down at your ashes ring or urn pendant to be reminded of the connection and love you feel for that special someone.
Our ashes into jewellery collection is one of our most visually striking lines since each piece of memorial jewellery utilises colourful resin to encapsulate the ashes. You can choose from up to 12 colours to make it bespoke to you and your loved one plus a range of beautiful designs to suit your style. Compared to urn jewellery, ashes jewellery involves permanently capturing the ashes into resin, so you know their remains are securely set within the jewellery and can never be lost. This collection is also ideal for those that aren’t comfortable handling their loved ones’ ashes themselves, as our professionals will make sure they are carefully and respectfully turned into jewellery on your behalf.
On the other hand, we know it’s not easy to trust a stranger with your loved one’s remains. Although the entire team at Inscripture is highly trained in handling your ashes with the utmost respect and care, we understand if you’d rather manage the process of filling your jewellery with the ashes yourself. In this case, we recommend our self-fill urn jewellery. You can choose when and how to fill the jewellery in your own time, giving you a sense of control and a moment of intimacy. This collection also offers a variety of customisation options, so each piece is made bespoke to you and the relationship you shared.
