Ashes Infused Pendants: Everything You Need to Know About the Unique Cremation Keepsake

The space that a loved one leaves behind when they pass away is unbearable and heartbreaking, to say the least. As the year's pass, individuals preserve their loved one’s memories through annual memorial services, gravesite visitations, and quiet reflections. We cherish the memories and carry the stories we have of them, and while these provide us with some peace, they still do not fill the empty void left behind. 

Ashes to jewelry provide us with this option by giving us a personal keepsake and an elegance that is hand-crafted with the ashes of our loved ones. Ashes Infused Pendants are the fancy and classy options of memorial jewelry which always remain close to us.

Pendants come in a wide variety of shapes, designs, and materials and are worn around the neck. They can be created using stainless steel, and sterling silver, and can come plated in gold. They often come with intricate designs and gemstones.

Ashes Infused Pendants are available in a huge variety of different types that appeal to women and men alike and are a highly personal way to memorialize a loved one. 

Ashes into jewelry crystals & diamonds are made through the use of extreme temperature, which causes the carbon in your loved one’s ashes to oxidize. This turns the carbon into graphite and is paced with a metal catalyst to form a crystal seed. The core is then pressed, and a diamond is made which can be used as pendants. This process takes many months.

A classic and traditional form of memorial jewelry, a pendant glass urn is a minute urn with a transparent glass cylinder attached to a necklace. The top of the urn can be easily removed, allowing the wearer to insert a small amount of ashes of their love once before securing the lid and carrying their loved one with them forever.

Standard pendant glass can be customized by adding names, dates, and other personal details related to the person they have lost. Others offer an incorporating an hourglass, a more complex design, heart or another meaningful symbol into the piece of memorial pendants.

One of the benefits of ashes infused pendants is that it is cheaper and easier to buy than jewelry featuring glass layered and cremation balls with ashes. While the latter two require the wearer to send a portion of ashes to a jweller to incorporate it into the piece of pendant or else urns can be also delivered straight to the recipient and they can add the ashes themselves.

You can also honour pendant glass urns to your loved one with a glass cremation necklace featuring a delicate glass pendant. Adding ashes to the pendant it can be done by swirling them into the glass while it is molten. This results in a speckling of ashes within the pendant, creating a sculpture of stars in the night sky. 

Another way of making ashes infused pendants with glass is to encase the ashes between two plates of glass. In this particular design, the bottom layer of glass is often colorful and bright, topped with a tiny portion of cremated ashes which have been carefully placed in a swirl design. A ending  piece of glass is placed at the top so the design remains in place forever.

Ashes infused pendants can be placed onto any type of necklace to create a unique piece of memorial jewelry. From lavish gold chains to a simple rope choker, you can customize the necklace just as much as the glass pendant to truly honour the person you want to remember.
