About Us


Our Story!


Cremation Jewelers specializes in creating custom jewelry and keepsakes from your loved one's ashes. By infusing the ashes with crushed opal in various colors or semi-precious stones, we craft beautiful, wearable pieces that help you keep your departed loved one close. Located in Escondido, California, our website features a variety of creations, including keychains, rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, custom urns, and other keepsakes. Our journey began with my wife, Betty, a small animal veterinarian with a lifelong passion for animals. After we married in 2009 and welcomed our son C.J., I became a stay-at-home dad in 2012, assisting Betty with her veterinary practice. Over the years, I witnessed the deep love pet owners have for their companions, and I found it moving to hear their stories during difficult moments like euthanasia. In 2017, I met Mike from Guardian Angels, who expressed a need for custom earrings made from pets' cremains. Though this wasn’t aligned with my woodworking passion, I saw it as a way to support my wife’s business and continue being a stay-at-home dad. I gathered supplies and merged my creative skills to design unique wood rings, titanium channel rings, earrings, keychains, and pendants made with cremation ashes combined with opal or mother of pearl. My goal is to provide cherished, one-of-a-kind keepsakes that allow someone to carry a piece of their loved one with them. Thank you for considering me to create something special for you!

History of Cremation Jewelry:

Cremation jewelry serves as a heartfelt symbol of love, memory, and grief. Its documented history spans hundreds of years. Also known as memorial jewelry for ashes, cremation jewelry holds a small amount of a loved one's ashes, making it a popular way to honor and remember cherished individuals or beloved pets. At Cremation Jewelers, we offer a wide selection of premium cremation jewelry, including cremation rings, pendants for ashes, urn necklaces, keepsake jewelry, and urn jewelry, available in hundreds of styles. 

Can we create custom pieces? Absolutely! Every item we craft is custom-handcrafted, and we focus on one piece at a time to ensure precision and attention to detail. Cremation Jewelers provides jewelry made from sterling silver, gold, rose gold, and other materials. We have a direct relationship with a well-established wholesale distributor that generates over $500 million in sales annually, allowing us to source the components needed to create your desired items.

Our collection includes jewelry for ashes in a diverse array of styles, shapes, and themes, so you are sure to find something elegant and meaningful.

If you do not have ashes, we can still accommodate you, as cremation jewelry is not just for ashes.

1. Flowers - Place dried funeral flowers, scattering petals, a favorite flower, or maybe Forget-Me-Not flower petals encased within the piece.

2. Sand or Soil - A small pinch of soil from a meaningful place, graveside, or cremation jewelry pendant, to keep a memory alive. The pinch of soil can be from a place where you first met or were married!

3. Lock of Hair- Locks of hair can be used instead of ashes.
