Urn Pendants and High Quality Cremation Jewelry
Remembrance jewelry is a beautiful and stylish option for memorializing a loved one. DeSantis Fine Art Jewelry’s range of urn pendants is made of the finest materials and these pieces can be worn or displayed at home in a beautiful jewelry box.
The Uses of Remembrance Jewelry
The ashes of a loved one will either be scattered or buried but many people would like to preserve a small amount of the remains. Cremation jewelry is designed for the purpose of storing some of the ashes.
Remembrance jewelry has tremendous emotional significance, because it enables grieving individuals to always carry a small part of a loved one. The use of such jewelry can make the recovery easier by enabling the “physical” presence of a dear friend or relative that has passed.
Jewelry designs can be chosen to represent the character and personality of that individual. Urn pendants come with delicate shapes, religious symbols or minimalist design that will say a lot about that special someone.
Choosing the Right Cremation Jewelry
All of the DeSantis urn pendants are made of high quality materials like sterling silver and gold. They are completely handmade and you can pick among various design possibilities that range from traditional ovals to more intricate shapes.
The quality of the materials is so high that the pendants can easily be passed from one generation to another, turning into a token of love and respect for predecessors.
All cremation pendants are provided with a funnel and filling instructions that make the process really simple.
Why Buy Cremation Jewelry?
Some people will feel uncomfortable with the idea of wearing urn pendants but such accessories are constantly growing in popularity.
Most people looking for cremation jewelry are literally trying to keep their loved ones nearby. Saying goodbye is one of the most difficult tasks and many are unprepared to acknowledge the passing of friends, relatives and significant others.
Cremation jewelry provides a unique alternative to keeping urns at home. It looks really stylish and personalized. High quality pieces like the urn pendants included in the DeSantis collection look sophisticated and very elegant, two characteristics that turn them into the perfect option for remembering a loved one in the most beautiful way.
How the pendant opens, and how it fills
Every urn pendant here opens with a hand threaded top rather than a push fit cap. The threads are cut on the bench one pendant at a time, which is why the top seats properly and closes flush instead of loosening with wear. A funnel and written instructions come with the order. The chamber is deliberately small. A pendant holds a symbolic portion of the ashes rather than all of them, and that has always been the idea behind cremation jewelry. If you would rather not fill it yourself, a funeral director can usually do it for you.
The pendant and the chain
These are pendants, so the chain is sold separately. That is deliberate. You choose the length and the style instead of accepting whatever came in the box, and if the pendant later moves to a different chain you have not paid for the same chain twice. If you are searching for an urn necklace, the pendant is the piece that holds the ashes and the chain is the part that hangs it. Sterling silver chains in the lengths that suit a pendant this size are in the Chain collection.
Size, weight and wearing it daily
The silver pieces run around 1 7/16 of an inch long by 3/4 of an inch wide. One of them weighs 12.9 grams. That is heavy enough to feel like a real piece of jewelry, and light enough to wear all day. It matters if you intend to keep it on. Measurements and weight are listed on each product page, so you can compare a plain polished oval against an intricate design before you commit to wearing it daily.
Looking after a piece you wear every day
The silver is solid sterling, never plated, so it behaves the way sterling does and will darken over time, faster if it sits in a drawer. Wearing it is what keeps it bright. When it needs a clean, a silver polishing cloth over the outside is enough. Keep the pendant closed and away from pools, showers and household cleaners, and store it somewhere soft rather than loose in a box with harder pieces that can scratch it.
Gold, and made to order
The collection here is sterling silver. Gold is available, and because each pendant is built by hand by one goldsmith, designs can be adapted: a different shape, or a stone set into the face, as in the tanzanite piece. Timing depends on the design, so it is worth starting the conversation before a date you have in mind. Use the contact form and describe what you are looking for.
