Memorial Jewelry Explained

Cremation jewelry has taken the concept of honoring the deceased to the next level and these unique keepsakes are appropriate for men, women and even young adults. The jewelry urn has the look and feel of a typical jewelry accessory but in most cases has a small hollow interior that is exposed by unscrewing the bail of the keepsake or by unscrewing the small slotted screw. The interior is very small and will hold approximately a pinch of selected remembrance in honor of the deceased. Cremated ashes, some sacred ground from the site of burial or even a small scroll or other remembrance can be inserted and sealed inside your urn pendant.

Creating a Memorial Keepsake

Filling memorial jewelry can be accomplished with ease and most keepsakes include a set of easy to follow instructions. The interior needs to be exposed by removing the slotted screw or unscrewing the bail and then inserting the tip of the included funnel into the opening. Using the filling sticks to guide, gently tap in the chosen remembrance, being careful not to overfill the jewelry urn. Remove the funnel carefully and using a toothpick, apply a drop of adhesive to the threads of the stopper sparingly. Immediately replace the stopper back into the opening of the keepsake and twist tightly to seal. Wipe away any excess adhesive that may have seeped over the top of the screw from twisting.

Caring For An Urn Pendant

There are some steps to be taken when it comes to caring for memorial jewelry as this will preserve the longevity and beauty of the keepsake. Cremation jewelry should not be worn while bathing, showering or swimming. Gently polishing the keepsake with a soft jewelry cloth or any lint free cloth will keep oils and dirt from creating a film on the jewelry urn. Utilizing specialty accessories such as a jewelry dome is a great place to store a keepsake and keep it free from dust. Periodically checking the seal on the bail or threaded screw of the cremation keepsake ensures that the adhesive has not worn out or become unsealed.

Longevity of cremation jewelry can be achieved by:
?Not wearing the keepsake in water
?Periodic polishing
?Checking the seal once a month

There is no magic formula for grief or for overcoming the loss of someone close to you. A variety of trendy and sophisticated keepsakes that hold a small remembrance of a loved one may not only help with the grief process but also provide a beautiful accessory that holds special meaning. Filling and caring for memorial jewelry can be done with ease and careful attention to detail.
