Ashes Jewellery – How it's made

Opals & Ashes’ talented designers have created a collection of ashes into jewellery, blending beauty with timeless, elegant design. Our range of cremation jewellery, including ashes rings, ashes pendants, and ashes charms, is designed to be comfortable, durable, and easy to wear every day, making them perfect for daily use as meaningful memorial jewellery.

Each piece of ashes jewellery is lovingly handcrafted by our skilled craftsmen in sterling silver and gold, created with the utmost care, respect, and attention to detail.

We take great pride in the quality of our finished cremation ashes jewellery, as well as the heartfelt reactions we receive from our customers who choose to keep their loved ones close through our jewellery.

At Opals & Ashes, all designs start with a piece of paper and a pencil. The designs are then created on the computer using state of the art software. 

This allows us the flexibility to develop new ideas without having to make the physical designs. This is perfect for when we are asked to design bespoke ashes jewellery. Pieces can be viewed, approved, or easily changed before being made.

These models are then printed in wax and sent to our casting house where they go through the process of lost wax casting.

These hollow moulds are filled with precious metals and are ready for the next stages.

In our Manchester workshop we hand finish each piece, then carefully blend the ashes with your choice of coloured opals and resin. 

The final and most rewarding stage is giving the jewellery a deep polish. 

The creation is now complete.
