How to Fill Cremation Jewelry

Most jewelry pieces have small compartments that need to be opened and filled with ashes. Filling kits offer the most user-friendly option for filling these compartments because they come with the tools necessary to fill your jewelry.

A typical filling involves:

• Opening the urn to access the ashes
• Unscrewing the compartment to open it
• Opening the compartment and placing a small funnel in it
• Using a spoon or similar to scoop up a very small amount of ashes
• Gently shaking the ashes inside of the funnel
• Filling the pendant up to 90% full
• Cleaning out any ashes that are in the screw hole
• Screwing the container closed

Some users want to permanently close their compartments, and this should only be done when you’ve tested the screw multiple times. You want to ensure that the screw can easily enter and exit the hole before applying any glue for a permanent closure.

How is Cremation Jewelry Made?

Cremation jewelry is made similarly to any type of jewelry, but the pieces have small compartments that can be opened for ashes to be stored. The stone options are different because they’re made from the person’s actual ashes.

Cremation diamonds, for example, are made by putting the diamonds into a container that is heated to over 5,000 degrees. Oxidation occurs to all elements but the carbon, which will then be turned into graphite.

The graphite is then put inside of a diamond crystal, which is then placed in a press and heated once again.

Once the heating process is complete, the graphite is allowed to cool and will turn into a crystal.
