Ashes Jewellery

Ashes jewellery is fine jewellery that holds a small portion of your loved one's cremation ashes. At Ashes With Art, every piece is handcrafted in the UK using sealed chamber construction or kiln-fired glass — not resin — so the ashes are permanently and securely held within the piece. Each item is hallmarked and arrives with a Certificate of Authenticity, designed to last as a family heirloom.

Each piece begins when your loved one's ashes arrive at our UK workshop. Depending on the design you've chosen, your ashes are either set into a sealed chamber within the precious metal piece, or fused into kiln-fired glass which is then mounted into the jewellery. Every piece is designed, made, and finished in-house — we never outsource. The process typically takes [X to Y] weeks, and we'll keep you informed at every stage.

Just a small amount — typically a teaspoon, regardless of how large or small the piece. Any unused ashes are returned to you with your finished jewellery. You don't need to send all of your loved one's ashes to make any of our pieces.

Our ashes jewellery starts at under £100 and our most expensive bespoke pieces are over £15,000. We genuinely have designs for every style and budget, and every piece is made to the same high standard regardless of price.

Yes. Sealed chamber construction means the ashes are permanently held within the piece — they can't leak, fall out, or be disturbed. Our jewellery is made from hallmarked precious metals (solid gold, sterling silver, or platinum) and is designed to be worn daily, just like any fine jewellery.

No — we are proud to create 100% resin-free ashes jewellery. Unlike many memorial jewellery companies, we do not use resin in our cremation jewellery designs. Instead, we specialise in kiln-fired memorial glass and sealed chamber ashes jewellery, where ashes, hair, or fur are permanently enclosed within the jewellery itself. We choose resin-free methods because resin can discolour, fade, cloud, crack, or degrade over time, while our jewellery is designed to be more durable, waterproof, colour-stable, and made to last for generations. You can learn more about why we choose resin-free methods in our Why We Don’t Use Resin guide.

Ashes With Art has been making memorial ashes jewellery from our Worthing studio since 1996 — nearly 30 years of handcrafting heirloom pieces for families across the UK. Every piece we make is designed, crafted, and finished in-house, just as it has been from the beginning.
