I do not know it is a spin-off idea from them but I have been recently introduced to the idea of keepsake jewelry. As the name indicates, it is a custom jewelry that’s specially catered to preserve the memories of loved ones, pets, bygone possessions that can never be regained again, mementos or even as a celebration of life. With the wide-spanned purposes explained to me, I guess I wasn’t shaking my head anymore. I now understand why many people go through all the trouble to immortalize the memories.

Personalized keepsake jewelry that includes rings, pins, bracelets and pendants has been gaining popularity right under my nose. They are fashionable and come in the finest style, quality and designs just as the timeless jewelries from Tiffany’s. This keepsake jewelry could be made of sterling silver, stainless steel, titanium, platinum, gold and additional encrusted with gemstones and crystals depending on the preferences of the owners.

The rings, pins, lockets, vials and pendants are designed to hold a pinch of the cremated ashes of a loved one or a beloved pet to keep their memories closest to the heart. Some people may use the keepsake jewelry to keep a photo or lock of a baby’s hair or like Angelina Jolie, a drop of blood for remembrance.

Cremation Urns Reflect Modern Trends

Modern funeral trends can also be seen in the array of unique cremation urns that are designed to reflect the personalities, lifestyles, hobbies and beliefs of the deceased whose ashes they hold. Although most people still envision a classic Grecian urn on a shelf when they think of cremation urns, choices now include motorcycle urns, religious urns, photo-frame urns, and tiny keepsake urns, to name just a few.

Cremation jewelry is another popular choice, designed to hold a tiny portion of ashes in a pendant that can be worn close to the heart. And some companies, like Memory Glass of Santa Barbara, create memorial jewelry from cremains, while others incorporate thumbprint impressions of the deceased in their creations.

A New Generation of Funeral Directors

Much of the credit for these novel trends in funeral goods and services belongs to a new generation of funeral directors, like Leo Dumont III and Andrew Hall, both of Nashua, New Hampshire. Both men earned degrees in other fields before going to work in their families’ funeral homes, while many other young adults who choose careers in funeral services have no family connection to the funeral industry. What these 20- and 30-somethings have in common are the fresh perspectives they bring to their work – innovative ideas that help to breathe new life into the funeral business.

Trinity Memorial Vessel

Memorial jewelry has come a long way since ornate brooches containing locks of hair from deceased loved ones were made fashionable by Queen Victoria in the late 1800s.

Today, cremation jewelry comes in almost countless styles, all designed to hold a tiny portion of cremated remains, burial earth or dried funeral flowers or a lock of hair. One popular example is the Trinity Heirloom Vessel, named for the distinctive triquetra symbol, or trinity knot, displayed on the pendant’s presentation box.

Designed and created by a professional jeweler, the Trinity Heirloom Vessel can be worn as a beautiful pendant or displayed in a glass-domed case. Contents are visible through three window panels around the cylinder, which will accommodate up to three lines of engraved text, with up to
15 characters per line.
