Cremation jewelry is designed to hold a memory close, which makes it unlike any other piece you own. Learning how to care for cremation jewelry ensures it keeps its shine and remains a lasting tribute. Small steps in cleaning and safe handling can make a big difference in preserving its look.
When it comes to cleaning memorial jewelry, less is more. We recommend gently wiping the surface with a clean microfiber cloth to restore its shine. Avoid chemical-based cleaners, especially on metal pieces like silver or gold, as these can accelerate deterioration or tarnishing.
Tip: A soft cloth is all you need, no polishes or sprays required.
Using paper towels or rough fabrics can scratch delicate surfaces. Even a small amount of abrasion can dull the appearance over time, especially with our custom-blended resins or polished metals.
We’ve seen pieces stay beautiful for years when families follow this one rule: treat the jewelry like something irreplaceable, because it is.
Our memorial pendants and rings aren’t meant to be tossed into a change tray or left in a bag. If you take it off at night, we suggest hanging your necklace on a mirror hook or laying your ring gently in a lined box. Keeping the jewelry separate prevents accidental scratches from keys, coins, or other jewelry.
Moisture can speed up tarnishing on silver and cause damage to certain adhesives used in resin pieces. Try not to store your cremation jewelry in the bathroom or leave it in damp environments. If possible, store it in a cool, dry place with minimal exposure to air or steam.
For our handcrafted memorial glass paperweights, ornaments, or desk objects, the best approach is simple. Use a paper towel and a light spray of standard Windex to clean the surface using light, even strokes.
Important: Never use rough cloths, scrubbing pads, or abrasive sprays. These will scratch the glass surface and reduce clarity over time.
Glass memorials are durable, but they still deserve gentle handling, especially if they contain ashes embedded inside.
Our resin jewelry pieces are durable enough for everyday wear, but they still need a gentle touch when it comes to cleaning. A dry microfiber cloth works best for polishing the surface and removing smudges or fingerprints.
Do not use alcohol, acetone, or commercial jewelry cleaners on resin. These products can cloud or damage the finish.
The way you care for cremation jewelry reflects how much it means to you. A few extra seconds of thoughtful handling each day will go a long way in preserving its color, polish, and integrity. Whether you wear it daily or keep it tucked away for special moments, these pieces hold a story, and we want that story to last.
