Choosing the Best Metal for Memorial Jewellery
Share
The metal you choose for memorial jewellery affects how the piece looks, feels and wears over time. It also affects price, maintenance and whether the design feels traditional, modern or understated.
There is no single best metal for every person. The right choice depends on the wearer, the design and the meaning behind the piece.
Sterling silver memorial jewellery
Sterling silver is a popular and accessible choice for memorial rings, pendants and earrings. It has a bright appearance and works beautifully for resin ashes jewellery and smaller keepsakes.

Premium examples include our diamond hidden ashes ring and lab-grown diamond solitaire hidden ashes ring.
Titanium memorial jewellery
Titanium can be a practical modern option, especially for those who like a lightweight feel and contemporary finish. It works well for certain hidden ashes and resin designs.
