How Much Ashes Are Needed for Memorial Jewellery?
Share
One of the most common questions people ask before ordering memorial jewellery is how much ashes are actually needed. It is completely understandable. Sending ashes away can feel emotional, and many families want reassurance before they begin.
The simple answer is that only a very small amount is normally needed for a piece of memorial jewellery. The exact amount depends on the design, whether the ashes are visible in resin or hidden inside the ring, and whether the piece is a ring, pendant or earrings.
Why only a small amount is needed
Memorial jewellery is designed to hold a symbolic keepsake, not a large quantity of ashes. A small amount can be carefully incorporated into resin, sealed inside a hidden compartment, or placed behind a stone depending on the design.

Visible ashes vs hidden ashes
Resin ashes jewellery usually displays the ashes within coloured resin, creating a visible tribute. Hidden ashes jewellery keeps the ashes sealed discreetly inside the shank or setting, giving a more private memorial.
