Memorial Jewelry: Turning Unforgettable Moments into Treasures

Memorial jewelry is the most personal form of jewelry – it literally contains a piece of a loved one or a special moment. From hair to baby teeth, from ashes to breast milk: The possibilities are more diverse than many people think.

What is Memorial Jewelry?

Memorial jewelry (also known as commemorative jewelry) is jewelry that contains or depicts a biological or material keepsake. It can be created as mourning jewelry after a loss or as love jewelry for a joyful occasion.

Hair Jewelry: Preserving the First Lock Forever

The first lock of hair from a haircut, a lock of a deceased loved one – incorporated into a glass pendant or a metal setting, it remains preserved forever. Various techniques:

  • Glass pendants with visible hair
  • Resin inclusion pendants
  • Gold-mounted locket form

Baby Tooth Jewelry: The Childhood Milestone

A child's baby tooth as a pendant – initially sounding unusual, but very popular with many parents. The tooth is often gilded or encased in resin and then worn in a setting.

Other Forms of Memorial Jewelry

  • Fingerprint Pendants: Fingerprint embossed in silver or gold
  • Ash Jewelry: A container or glass inclusion with the ashes of a deceased person or a pet
  • Breast Milk Resin: Breast milk encased in a resin pendant
  • Umbilical Cord Casting: Cast in silver
