How to Care for Memorial Jewellery with Ashes

Memorial jewellery is made to be worn and treasured, but it still needs gentle care. Whether your keepsake contains ashes in resin, hidden ashes inside a ring, or ashes sealed behind a stone, the right habits can help protect it for years.

Clean it gently

Use a soft cloth for regular cleaning. Where suitable, warm water and mild soap can help remove everyday residue, but avoid soaking delicate pieces or using harsh cleaners.

Avoid chemicals and heavy knocks

Perfume, cleaning products, chlorine, hand sanitiser and harsh chemicals can all affect jewellery over time. Remove your piece for cleaning, swimming, gardening, DIY or heavy gym work.

Store it safely

When you are not wearing your jewellery, store it separately in a soft pouch or box. This helps prevent scratches, knocks and tangling with other jewellery.

Care depends on the design

Resin jewellery, hidden ashes rings and stone-set memorial jewellery can all have different care needs. Compare our resin rings with ashes, hidden ashes rings and ashes behind stones collection.
