Can Cremation Jewelry Be Repaired or Resized?

A piece of cremation jewelry carries something irreplaceable, so a chip, a crack, or a ring that does not fit can feel like a real loss. The good news is that repaired or resized cremation jewelry is often possible, depending on the piece and the situation. At Sands of Time, our artists handle these requests with care, and we will always tell you honestly what can and cannot be done with your memorial.

What to Expect from Repaired or Resized Cremation Jewelry

Whether we can work on a piece depends on what it is made of and how it is damaged. Glass memorial jewelry, in particular, calls for a careful, realistic look before we promise anything.

Repairing a Chipped or Cracked Piece

Many repairs are possible. If you have a glass memorial necklace with a chip, for example, there is a good chance we can fix it and restore the look you remember.

Why the Flame Carries a Risk

Repairs are never guaranteed, and we want you to understand why. Because your piece holds ash sealed inside the glass, returning it to the flame can go one of two ways:

• It may reform into a perfect fix.
• It may become unstable and crack.

The outcome depends on how the piece was chipped or broken, so we walk you through the risk before we begin.

Pro Tip: If it has broken, save every fragment, even the smallest ones. Having the original glass on hand gives our artists the best chance at a seamless repair.

Can Our Memorial Rings Be Resized?

Ring sizing is one of the most common questions we hear, and the answer depends on the style you chose.

Men’s Rings and the Comfort Fit

Our men’s rings cannot be resized. We make them with a comfort fit and exotic materials, which sets the size for good.

Women’s Rings with a Little Give

Some women’s rings can be adjusted. Our wrap band design is not a solid piece, so it wraps the finger with a bit of give that lets you gently open or close it. A gentle adjustment now and then is fine, though we do not recommend doing it often. The solid band women’s rings are not adjustable at all.

Getting Your Fit Right from the Start

Because we size most of our rings at creation, getting the fit right the first time matters. We make that simple.

Ordering Your Silicone Ring Sizers

If you are unsure of your size, the process is easy:

1. Order a size up and a size down. If you think you are a seven, try a 6¾ and a 7¼.
2. Wear the silicone bands for a few days. Our artists send them before your ring is made, so you can feel which one fits best.
3. Send in the winning sizer with the ashes. We craft your ring tailored exactly to that size.

Pro Tip: Try your sizers at different times of day. Fingers swell in heat and shrink in cold, so testing across a couple of days gives you the truest fit.

Custom Sizing for Your Repaired or Resized Cremation Jewelry

Prefer a women’s size we do not list on our site? Our artist Joele can send you the band so you can have it sized at your own jeweler. Send it back with the ashes, and the artist will create your memorial piece to match.

Key Takeaway: Every memorial is different, so the right path depends on your piece. A quick conversation with our team saves you the guesswork and protects the keepsake that matters most.
