Our Process

We honor the deep meaning behind every cremation jewelry piece we create. Each piece of cremation ash jewelry is handcrafted individually, with care and intention, to celebrate and remember your loved one.

We are inspired by the stories of the people and pets entrusted to us, and we invite you to share anything you’d like about your loved one. These stories and photos guide our process and allow us to craft each piece with intention and care. If there’s a meaningful song you’d like us to play during creation, we’re always happy to include that as part of the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are the ashes incorporated into the jewelry?

A small amount of ash is meticulously incorporated into the ceramic bead during the creation process. This ensures the safety of the ash. There is nothing to fill, the ash is safe and secure within the glaze.

Are my loved one’s ashes handled safely and respectfully?

Yes. We treat every set of ashes with the utmost respect and care. Each piece is created individually from start to finish in my home studio.

How much ash is needed to make the jewelry?

Only a small amount of ash is required for a bead—typically less than a teaspoon—allowing you to keep the remainder with you and/or your family. The figurines hold about 4 Tablespoons of ash.

Can you create cremation jewelry for pet ashes?

Absolutely. We create cremation jewelry for both people and pets, honoring the deep bond shared with beloved animals.
