Can You Customize Colors and Designs in Cremation Jewelry?

Color is usually the first question families ask once they are ready to place an order. Most want to know whether they can customize colors and designs in cremation jewelry, or whether they are limited to one standard look.

What is possible varies by artist, by item, and by the material the piece is made from. Understanding those differences before you order saves time and gets you closer to a memorial that reflects the person you are remembering.

Cremation Jewelry Designs and Colors Our Artists Can Customize

Our cremation jewelry is largely customizable, and the range of options changes based on which artist creates the piece.

The Color Range Our Artists Work With

Our artist Ryan makes our teardrop pendants, and they are available in a wide range of colors, including:

• Amethyst for a deep purple tone
• Obsidian for a dark, understated finish
• Garnet for a warm red
• Peridot for a soft green

Choosing a Color That Fits the Person

Color choice comes down to who you are remembering and what reminds you of them. A birthstone shade, a favorite color, or the color of a garden they tended all work well. Families often tell us the decision becomes easy once they stop looking at a color chart and start thinking about the person.

Pro Tip: Write down two or three colors you associate with your loved one before you browse. It makes the selection process faster and far less stressful.

How Customization Affects Turnaround Time

Adding options to your piece does not extend the timeline in the way most people expect.

Turnaround Varies by Artist, Not by Options

Each of our artists keeps their own schedule, so production runs anywhere from one to two weeks up to three to four weeks. Every listing states how long that specific piece takes to make, so you know the timeline before you order.

Engraving and Add-Ons Are Already Included

When you add engraving or another customization to a piece, that work is already built into the posted turnaround time. Your selections do not push the delivery date back.

Key Takeaway: Check the listing for the timeline, then choose your options freely. The stated turnaround already accounts for them.

Customization Limits by Piece Type

Flexibility varies across our catalog, and we are direct with families about where the limits are.

Where Cremation Jewelry Colors and Designs are Easiest to Customize

Our glass pieces carry the widest range of customization. Our men’s rings are also more customizable than our women’s rings, which comes down to the artistic capabilities of the artist who makes them.

Women’s Rings Follow Set Designs

Jolie, one of our main artists, creates our women’s rings. Most of her rings are already set, with several established designs available for you to choose from.

We do not work with very thin bands set with many tiny jewels, and we will tell you that up front rather than promise something we cannot deliver.

We Also Collaborate with Outside Jewelers

A design you cannot find on our website is still within reach.

A Memorial Jewel Made for Your Setting

If you want a 14-karat gold ring with diamonds or rubies, work with your local jeweler on the design. Our artists create the memorial jewel, we ship it to you, and your jeweler sets it inside the ring.

This Happens More Often Than You Think

We currently have a client who sent ashes to our artist for a jewel. That jewel now goes to her local jeweler, who is designing a ring around it.

Pro Tip: Ask your jeweler for the setting dimensions before you order so the jewel arrives ready to place.
