How to Choose Pet Cremation Jewelry

It’s sad when a close animal companion leaves this world. I’ve experienced it several times and each time I feel a strong need to have some sort of keepsake to remember my pet by. Some of the items in my memory box include baby kitten and puppy teeth and a 4″ long whisker that my big cat shed the day before a dog caught him flat-footed.

When we really love our pets and can afford to give them a special send-off, we may decide to cremate them. Then comes the question “what do I do with my pet’s ashes?”. That can be a difficult question to answer. I know someone who still has their ashes in a cardboard box 2 years later because she can’t decide what to do with them. Of course we could always spread some of the ashes at our pet’s favorite outdoor spot or there’s always the urn. But somehow an urn can feel a little cold and impersonal. Luckily there’s pet cremation jewelry!

One of the best and most popular ways to have our pet’s ashes close is to keep them in pet cremation jewelry. There are many types of cremation pendants that will hold a small portion of your pet’s ashes. Most of these involve a small hollow pendant made out of metal, wood or a simple glass tube. You put the ashes of your pet in the hollow vessel and a plug or screw top seals the hole. This is a nice and convenient way to carry your pet’s ashes as a piece of jewelry. Many of these manufactured cremation pendants are pretty basic and a bit uninspiring. However, there are some very beautiful pendants of this type and some of the more expensive ones are even handcrafted. Prices for these types of cremation pendants range from around to over ,000 with the average price for a quality piece running a bit over 0.

If your tastes run more towards the artistic and handcrafted, a unique and elegant way to keep your pet’s ashes around your neck is a hand blown glass cremation pendant. These cremation pendants aren’t just simple containers to put your pet’s cremains in. Instead, the glass artist who creates them actually inserts your pet’s ashes into the molten glass while they are creating your pendant! As the ashes are being inserted into the glass, a chemical reaction takes place that creates many tiny CO2 bubbles. These bubbles combine with the ash to form random intricate patterns . When your pendant is finished, you can see your pet’s ashes inside and they become an integral part of the art inside the pendant.

These pendants are priced from around to 0 with some artists also offering glass memorial marbles. Although it’s more difficult to find a glass artist who will custom make these pendants, it’s worth looking at some to see what they’re like. Although as a glass artist I’m a bit biased, I can’t think of a more beautiful and unique way to keep your pet’s ashes close to you.

Mark Hamilton has been a glass artist for over 12 years and really enjoys creating beautiful art glass pendants from the ashes of loved pets. It gives him a good feeling to know that he can play a part in giving the ashes new life as beautiful pet cremation jewelry.

Pet Cremation Jewelry

Pet Cremation Jewelry

Pet cremation jewelry can be a tremendous source of comfort for anyone who has lost a beloved animal companion. Wearing a beloved pet’s cremated remains in a discreet ash pendant can help a grieving pet owner maintain a connection to the faithful companion who brought so much joy to life.

If you’re not a pet owner, the thought of pet cremation jewelry may strike you as odd. Only an animal lover can fully understand the grief that comes with losing a pet, after all. But the fact is that many pet owners view their pets as members of the family. They may be as connected to their pets as others are to their human family members, and the loss of an animal family member can be just as devastating as the loss of a human family member. For these pet owners, urn jewelry for pets may be an important part of healing.

What is Pet Cremation Jewelry?

Like cremation jewelry for humans, pet cremation jewelry consists of a tiny keepsake pendant that functions as a miniature cremation urn to hold a small portion of the pet’s ashes. The memorial jewelry can then be worn as a keepsake pendant, inside or outside of clothing, or displayed under a glass dome. Cremation jewelry can also be worn as a bracelet or keychain.

Some pet cremation jewelry is indistinguishable from cremation jewelry for humans, while other pet cremation necklaces feature designs that hint at their contents. Cremation pendants that are fashioned in the shape of a miniature dog or cat paw prints, or dog bones fall into the latter category. Other urn pendants for pets feature a locket designed to hold a photo.

How Pet Cremation Jewelry Brings Comfort

Because people who don’t have pets don’t understand how devastating the loss of a pet can be, pet owners who lose their pets may get little sympathy from friends and family. A pet cremation keepsake can provide a touchstone to remind the wearer of the good times he or she shared with their faithful companion. A pet cremation pendant can also help to validate the deep grief the pet owner is feeling.

And finally, pet memorial jewelry can be worn discreetly, away from the prying questions of people who don’t understand the depth of grief that comes from losing a treasured animal friend.

Cremation Jewelry in Nature Motifs

Cremation Jewelry in Nature Motifs

For a deceased loved one who delighted in flora, fauna, and the great outdoors, no memorial keepsake could be more fitting or thoughtful than cremation jewelry in a nature motif.

The fact is that many who opt for cremation instead of traditional burial are inclined to do so because they view cremation as the more earth-friendly means of final disposition. For someone who lived life as an outdoor enthusiast or steward of the earth, one way to honor her memory and keep her legacy in mind is by choosing an ash pendant with a nature theme in which you can wear or display a memorial keepsake.

Originally named for the inner chamber designed to contain a tiny quantity of ashes from a cremation, cremation jewelry today may hold one of several types of keepsakes, such as dried and pulverized ceremonial flowers, a clipping of hair, or a small handful of soil from a gravesite.

Urn Pendants Inspired by Animals:

Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts come in all shapes and sizes, and memorial pendants come in dozens of themes inspired by nature. Some keepsake pendants and cremation necklaces represent creatures that swim in the ocean, live on dry land, or fly through the air, from wildlife (such as eagles, owls, dolphins, and wolves, for example) to domesticated pets, like dogs and cats.

Marine and Plant Life Themes in Cremation Jewelry You’ll also find cremation keepsakes in countless plant life designs, from a wide variety of flowers to acorns, pine cones, and trees. Aquatic themes are also very popular in cremation jewelry. Dolphins, fish, and turtles, as well as sand dollars, seahorses, starfish, and seashells are some of the marine themes that grace cremation jewelry and capture the spirit of happy times spent at the sea shore.

Nature-Themed Memorial Jewelry Honors Your Loved One Urn pendants in the image of animals, plants, and marine life serve not only as a way to honor your loved one, but also as a reminder to all of use to honor the earth. Your choice of a memorial necklace may represent your loved one’s particular interest – whether cats, flowers, or wildlife – or you may simply choose a general nature themed cremation pendant to serve as a reminder of your loved one’s legacy. Whether you wear your cremation jewelry around your neck or display it as a memorial in your home, however, your ash pendant in a nature motif will capture the essence of your loved one’s time here on earth.
