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

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.
