How to Choose the Right Cremation Necklace for Ashes

Collection of ornate gold and silver keepsake lockets on dark velvet beside a purple flower

Choosing a cremation necklace is a deeply personal decision. You want something that feels meaningful, is comfortable to wear every day, and gives you peace of mind that the ashes are held securely.

This guide walks you through the most important factors so you can choose with confidence.

1. Decide What Feels Right for You

Some people prefer a design that is clearly symbolic — a heart, angel wing, butterfly, or Tree of Life. Others want something discreet that looks like ordinary jewellery.

2. Consider the Material

Stainless steel is durable, resistant to tarnish, and ideal for everyday wear. It is the material we use most at Amarantha Jewellery.

3. Check How the Ashes Are Held

Look for a pendant with a secure chamber that closes properly (usually with a small screw or threaded stopper).

4. Think About Size and Comfort

A good cremation necklace should be comfortable enough to wear every day.

5. Human or Pet Ashes

Most designs work for both. Some pieces are especially meaningful for pets.
