Ashes in Metal Rings: The Most Durable & Discreet Memorial Jewellery Option

5/19/2025

0 Comments

 
When it comes to memorial jewellery, many people are searching for something that feels deeply meaningful but also practical, wearable, and discreet. If you want to keep a loved one close without it being obvious or delicate to wear, ashes-in-metal rings might be the perfect choice.

At Meyn & Mor, I handcraft each piece with care and intention, offering two types of memorial designs: a traditional ashes-in-resin inlay, and a newer, more durable method - discreetly embedding the ashes directly into the metal.
Here’s why ashes-in-metal rings are becoming the most trusted option for those looking for a lasting and subtle tribute.

What Are Ashes-in-Metal Rings?
Ashes-in-metal memorial jewellery is made by incorporating a small amount of cremation ashes directly into the metal during the making process. Rather than sitting on the surface (like a resin inlay), the ashes become a permanent part of the ring itself hidden within the band or setting, sealed and protected forever.
The result is a beautifully organic ring with no visible sign of ashes, just a strong, tactile, deeply meaningful piece you can wear every day.

Why Choose This Method?

Durability:
Unlike resin, which can be more vulnerable to damage over time, ashes-in-metal rings are built to last. They’re ideal for everyday wear and for those who want a piece that will stand the test of time.

Discretion:
Not everyone wants their memorial jewellery to be visually identifiable. This style offers a deeply personal connection that’s yours alone a secret meaning carried close, without explanation unless you choose to share it.

Natural Beauty:
Because I specialise in organic textures and coastal-inspired designs, these rings have a beautifully raw, earthy finish. They feel grounded, like a piece of nature and memory combined.

How It’s Made
Every ashes-in-metal ring is made with care and reverence. After you send a small portion of ashes (securely and respectfully), I mix them into the precious metal clay during the forming stage. Once fired, the ashes become permanently fused within the solid metal.

The process is entirely handcrafted - no two pieces are ever the same, and the final result carries the weight and warmth of both memory and craft.


Personalisation Options
Each ring can be customised with:

  • A choice of organic textures or finishes
  • Metal options like recycled silver or gold
  • Bespoke sizing or shape requests

A Meaningful, Everyday Tribute
Ashes-in-metal rings are perfect for those who want a memorial piece that can truly be worn daily through life’s mess and magic. They offer comfort, strength, and a quiet connection that stays with you, no matter where you go.
​Whether you’re honouring a partner, parent, child, or beloved pet, this method provides a timeless and subtle way to keep their memory close.
