The cost of ashes jewelry depends on much more than the small amount of cremains used. You are paying for the jewelry design, the chosen metal, careful handling of a personal inclusion, and the time required to create and finish a one-of-a-kind memorial stone.
There is no single price for every cremation ring, necklace or bracelet. Current product pages provide the exact total; this guide explains why prices vary.
The type and complexity of the jewelry
A simple pendant, a slender ashes ring and a detailed halo design require different components and bench work. Stone size, setting style, chain or bracelet hardware, and the number of decorative stones can all affect the final price.
Sterling silver, gold vermeil or solid gold
Metal is often one of the largest price factors. Sterling silver is generally the most accessible option. Gold-plated or vermeil designs add a warm finish over a silver base, while solid gold has a higher material value. Availability varies by design, so compare the exact specifications rather than color alone.
Custom color and personal inclusions
Cremation ashes can be visible in the resin stone or blended more discreetly into a chosen color. Hair, dried flower petals, opal powder or metallic leaf may be possible in selected designs. Additional inclusions and intricate placement can add time and sometimes cost.
Handcrafting and responsible handling
Custom ashes jewelry is made individually. The inclusion is received, documented, placed, cured and finished for one order at a time. Lumora returns any unused inclusions with the completed keepsake, so you do not need to send the entire amount you hold.
