Angel Wings Memorial Jewelry
The angel wing is a very special symbol of angels. We see it in many different cultures around the world, such as Christianity and Islam where they signify protection from harm.
Angel wings also represent purity, courage, love harmony, and faith, which provide us with strength through a tough time.
Nothing compares to the love a mother has for her children. She is the soul of the family. Upon her departure, there’s always that feeling of her still watching over her family as a guardian angel.
These two angle wing pieces will help you memorialize your guardian angel and feel them close to you always.
Silver Angel Wing Charm
The best thing about this piece is that you can add a long chain and wear it as a pendant or hook it to your charm bracelet.

Angel Wing Pendant with Opal
The opal angel wing pendant with cremains is one of the most beautiful cremation jewelry pieces. The wings look like they’re spread open just as your angel when they flew away.
The guardian angel pendant was made by infusing cremains with crushed synthetic opal to give it a vibrant look. Pair it with a beautiful chain to get a stunning, meaningful necklace to keep your beloved close to your heart.
Accessorizing with Cremation Jewelry
Cremation jewelry doesn’t have to be boring.
Whenever you think of accessories, your mind pictures a woman first. Women’s accessories can be bold, colorful, and sometimes shiny. On the other hand, men’s jewelry tends to be simple and subtle.
The same goes for memorial pieces.
Memorials make your jewelry collection more meaningful by incorporating part of your loved one in every piece. Every time you’re ready to leave the house, you take a piece of them with you.
These pieces will help you do that.
Tie Dye Teardrop Pendant
The loss of a loved one brings more than a river of tears. As the grief wears off, their memory remains with us. A teardrop pendant can serve as a reminder of the tears you shed upon their loss.
Wearing the tie dye pendant on your heart could hold meaning that although the tears faded, you’ll never forget how much their loss made you cry.
Add color and vibrance to your closet while keeping your loved one close with this memorial piece. It’s a great fit for casual outfits like sundresses when you’re out for brunch.
Night Swirl Earrings
For a more toned-down look, you can go with the night swirl earrings. They’re perfect for every skin complexion and add flair to your outfit without attracting too much attention.
These beautiful earrings were crafted by Filip Vogelpohl. He uses a technique called glassbowling, to create memorial glass art. He works on the pieces from the inside out while drawing inspiration from his environment.
Blue Moon Cufflinks
World-renowned designer, Hugo Ferdinand Boss recommended that every man own at least three suits. One each in colors black, blue and grey for business and special, buttoned-down occasions.
Going to a wedding? Having dinner at a high-end restaurant with a special someone? Spruce up your look with the stunning blue moon cufflinks.
How lovely would it be to have your loved one with you on those special occasions? Wear them as cremation jewelry to have them as part of the event.
For example, if you lost your dad, wearing him on your wedding suit will make you feel like he’swith you, walking you down the aisle.
Titanium Ring With Cremation Ash
Titanium Ring with Cremation Ash
Wearing a ring takes on different meanings depending on the finger.
The ring finger is associated with Earth’s moon, creativity, and beauty. The ring finger is also a symbol of romance and celestial serenity.
In most cultures and traditions, wearing a ring on the ring finger symbolizes a commitment to a romantic relationship and is often worn on the left hand.
Non-wedding rings and accessory rings can be worn on the ring finger or any other finger, on any hand.
The titanium ring is the perfect sterling silver memorial ring for men who love rings. The ring is beautiful and subtle, great for a signature accessory piece. It best memorializes someone very close to you like a best friend or sibling.
With this, you get to keep them close to you every day. It’s like they never left.

“We anxiously waiting for our son’s ring of his son’s cremations. The ring turned out beautiful just as we expected. It was an emotional moment giving our son such a memorable keepsake that he will cherish forever💙 His BABY BOY JAMES YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN 💙5-22-2020💙”
A Cross on Your Heart
The cross is associated with the Christian faith. A memorial of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
The history of the cross dates back to the 4th century when Christianity was legalized by Emperor Constantine. He built the Martyrium, a large church over the assumed location of Jesus’ tomb.
He then ordered an excavation of the sacred grounds during Christ’s life. Around the 5th century, word spread that pieces of Christ’s cross were uncovered by Constantine’s mother during one of the excavations.
Believers claimed that the pieces had healing powers.
When we lose a loved one in the Christian faith, we believe that they will rise, and ascend to heaven, just as Christ did. Also that when we die, we get to reunite with those we lost.
The cross, therefore, is an important symbol of faith and resurrection. Cremains can be fused into cross pieces to create perfect memorials for your loved one.
Here are some beautiful pieces that will help you keep your loved one close in a meaningful way.
Sterling Silver Amethyst Heart Keepsake
Jewelry memorials are not just for the living. The heart themed themed memorial keepsake shows that you loved someone enough to remember them every day, even after they're gone.

When Silver Meets Marble
What happens when silver meets marble? Magic!
When the Romans discovered marble, it was a precious commodity. They carved their most valued statues out of this white stone with extreme care and zeal - as though they were creating something that would live on for eternity itself.
Marble is believed by many cultures throughout history to provide clarity, self-control, and stability both physically and emotionally.
Marble has been used as a symbol of purity since ancient times because its crystalline structure reflects light so brilliantly that even scratches cannot be seen under certain lighting conditions.

Silver is a color that is both feminine and masculine. Silver has been used to represent the moon, which symbolizes female energy.
Ancient Greeks associated silver with the Goddess Artemis who was known for her purity. The Roman culture associated it with Diana, the goddess because she stood strong against all odds.
At Spirit Pieces, we have beautiful memorials crafted from both silver and marble to give you strength and clarity as you carry your loved one with you.

“My granddaughter picked this ring in remembrance of her Mom. She was thrilled to receive such a beautiful way to have her Mom with her every day.”

Silver Midnight Marble Necklace
The silver midnight marble necklace is a beautiful way to honor the memory of a lost loved one.
Unlike traditional gold urns and other memorials, pendants can be passed on to family members, the silver pendants allow you to keep a symbol of your loved one close in memoriam.
The best part is that you can personalize it with an engraved name, date, and/or other special words or dates important to you. You’ll always remember not only your love for them but how much they meant to others as well.
How to Choose the Right Piece For You
Every memorial piece will be beautiful by virtue of the meaning they hold for you. However, given the variety of choices available, there are a few things you need to consider to help you select the perfect piece for you.
- Think of the memory you associate them with. We have so many memories that we share with the people we love. Though all are important there are a few that always stand out.
If your favorite memory of them is a time you were at the beach together, you might want to go with an ocean-inspired memorial like seashell bracelets.
- Get inspiration from the things they loved. If they loved flowers, you can get a necklace in the shape of their favorite flower or add dried flowers to your piece to give it more meaning.
- Select a piece that represents their personality. If they loved being in nature, played sports, or were a sports fan, you can choose a piece inspired by that to keep them closer to you. Here are some pieces you can choose from.
