There are two different ways to commemorate your loved one through jewelry: with Resin or by sealing it under gemstones using screws.

Pros:
- Perhaps the best thing about using resin when creating a piece of ashes jewelry is the fact that you can see the ashes. Many people search for this feature when buying ashes jewelry as it makes them feel more connected to their loved one.
-
When buying a piece of jewelry made of resin, you are mostly paying for the cost of labor than the resin itself. Generally, when purchasing a ring, most of the cost is dedicated to the center stone. However, because resin is so inexpensive, you will not be paying as much as you would for other jewelry. It is also a beautiful notion that the most invaluable part of the ring, a loved one’s ashes, takes the place of an expensive center stone.
- Resin is also extremely versatile as it can take almost any shape and size. You are not bound to the classic shapes of gemstones and diamonds, in contrast, you can get as creative as you like!
- Not only is resin difficult to break, but it is also easily repairable. Although scratching or damaging your resin is a difficult feat, it can still look brand new with a simple repair.
Cons:
- Resin can only have a flat surface; therefore, it is not going to take the shape of a gemstone with facets.
- Because the texture of ashes is not consistent, they can sometimes slightly protrude and create little bubbles on the surface. This is sometimes unavoidable as the texture of ashes cannot be changed. However, this is only visible if looking at the jewelry very closely.
- Even though we always strive to fulfill our customers' requests, the resin's colors may occasionally differ from what you initially wanted. Ashes tend to be light grey, therefore, when mixed with the resin, the ashes have a minor effect on the resin's color. Lighter colors are less impacted, whereas darker hues tend to appear slightly lighter. We always send customers swatches of the color before we begin the process of creating the jewelry, however, you have to be prepared for a slight change of color.
