The price of memorial jewelry varies more than most families expect, and that uncertainty can add stress to an already difficult decision. The cost to have ashes turned into jewelry ranges from about $25 for our most affordable keepsakes to several thousand dollars for a custom ring.
At Sands of Time, we craft pieces for every budget so that you can keep a loved one close without financial strain. Here is a clear breakdown of what shapes the final price.
What Affects the Cost to Have Ashes Turned Into Jewelry?
Several factors shape the price of cremation jewelry. Knowing them helps you choose a piece that honors your loved one and respects your budget. Overall, these choices are personal, and there is no wrong answer.
Materials and Craftsmanship
The materials make the biggest difference in price. For example, simple metals and cubic zirconia keep costs low. Diamonds, intricate inlays, and rare materials raise them. Our artist Johan, handcrafts men’s rings from exotic materials, including:
- Damascus steel and titanium
- Dinosaur bone and meteorite
- Whiskey barrel oak and rowan wood
- Tungsten, crushed lava, and turquoise
- Topaz and rubies
Each material calls for different skills and time, which adds to the cost of the ring. The same applies to women’s rings, where the level of detail and the stones you choose influence the final price.
The Type of Piece You Choose
A small keepsake costs far less than a detailed ring. For instance, pendants and heaven drops offer an affordable starting point. Memorial rings with elaborate settings sit at the higher end.
Pro Tip: If you want to share a memorial with several family members, heaven drops are the most budget-friendly option, since the per-piece price drops the more you order.
