I hear about this a few years ago and I was a little grossed out. I had thought it was something where you could see the ashes.
But then one of my very best friend in the worlds dad passed away. A few moths later her mom gave her a cross with a little bit if his ashes in it. And she was very comforted by this. I still was not sure how I felt about this but she told me you could not see the ashes it was inside the jewelry. That made me feel a little better about it.
As you know we lost our youngest son on December 22,2011. While we were making the arrangements I decided to look at some of the cremation jewelry. I was very pleased to see that it was very elegant looking. So I decided to get some for me and all of Nicks grandmothers. Mine is a silver turtle because Nick had a turtle for many years.
From the front you would never know that it is anything but a turtle. But on the back there is a little place drilled out they put a little bit of Nicks ashes in there and then there is a silver screw that seals it up. I will post pictures at the end of this post
I have to say this has been a great comfort to me the last couple of weeks. When I start to miss him I catch myself picking up the turtle on my necklace and holding it. It makes me feel a little closer to him and not so sad.
So I have come full circle and changed my mind about Cremation Jewelry it is a very special (though not for everyone) thing to help you feel close to someone who is gone from our world.
Thank you for reading this post
