ASIAN ANTIQUES

Eternal memories   by Emiley David

Every year, more and more people prefer cremation jewelry
as a way to honor a deceased loved one. Once considered a novelty piece by some and ghastly by others, cremation jewelry is growing in acceptance and popularity. Cremation jewelry allows family members to share their loved one’s ashes because modern families often have members living in different states or even different countries. To decide who will keep a deceased loved one’s ashes can be a difficult task. Cremation jewelry assists to overcome this dilemma by allowing every single family member to share a small part of the cremated remains.

There are somewhat little things to match every religious belief, taste, and personality. Cremation pendants are available as hearts, crosses, roses, stars, rosaries, and so onward. These pendants aren’t just lovely – they also present comfort that part of a loved one is still around. Memorial pendant is just a modern take on cremation. Cultures around the world have been cremating their loved ones for centuries. Since there are so many styles of jewelry, it’s easy to memorialize someone by storing some of their ashes in a pendant that represents their personality.

This jewelry can be something as simple as a tiny heart pendant or as elegant as a gold cross. They can also be modified with the individual’s name on it, or with an image of him or her within. Heart-shaped lockets are the most popular, as they hold a small amount of ashes and a picture of the deceased. The jewelry is available in all metals and finishes. They can be made of rubies, pearls, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, or any other type of gemstone.

It’s vital that you choose a piece that is made out of high quality materials so that it will last a lifetime. You also need to check the bails and clasps. Everything should be secure so that the piece stays in place and the ashes or hair remains intact.

Cremation pendant not necessarily have to be used for human ashes or hair, many people also buy them as a memorial for their pets as well. There are designs for every animal that you can think of, including dog bones for dogs, cat medallions for kitties, horse pendants, bird pendants, and so on. They can be custom-made with the pet’s name on them. Some pet owners place ashes in the pendants and some put clips of fur. That is how; they can keep a part of their few companions with them forever

As it is true with all memorials, these products can be found in many price ranges. One should keep in mind that most mass-produced pieces, while often more affordable, may not have the same quality, uniqueness, or styling flexibility as those pieces that are prepared by an artisan. Even handmade, designed memorial jewelry can be quite affordable, so be confident to explore options. Most memorial pendants start in the $100 range, and can also run to a large amount. With careful investigation, a beautiful piece of memorial or cremation jewelry can be bought at a reasonable price.
