Not jewellery, but I had a beautiful glass rainbow made with some of our old black Lab's ashes in it after we lost him in June 2020. I found the person who did it on Etsy. It's beautiful and just feels like a lovely way to remember him.

Not for me either, I carry past love ones in my heart not in a piece of jewellery…

My husband has a front door keyring pendant with some of his dad's ashes in it.
Every time I pick it up and use it, it feels quite creepy.
Sorry, not for me (though I've never said anything to him).

No, I’ve never liked the idea myself.

Have any of you had jewellery made containing ashes of loved ones?
Friends of mine very sadly lost their son to a massive and very unexpected heart attack a few months ago.

She told me that the females in the family were having rings or pendants made where the ashes are turned into stones of any. colour you choose.

I was very interested as I still have my H’s ashes ( waiting for mine to join them) and I thought how nice it would be to have rings made for my D and two GDs and myself.

I met up with her just before Christmas and she showed me the ring.
I was very underwhelmed, I know that it was expensive and it looked so cheap and frankly awful.

I went off the idea straightaway but then wondered if anyone had done the same with good results.
They also had had several teddy bears made from some of his very nice shirts.
These were really lovely, very well made and a super keepsake.
