Cremation Pendants are to Hold the Ashes of your Loved One

There are fewer moments in life that will affect us to the very core, the way losing a loved one will. While this is true, it only emphasizes the importance that memory plays in our lives. Memories are truly an underrated and essential part of us, perhaps because they are something that come natural, like our hearts beating or our lungs drawing in the air we breathe. Our minds are programmed to create memories, which shape our outlook on life and even how we interact with the world around us. That is why, when we lose someone that was very important, be it a close friend or family member, our memory is what can carry us through the mourning period that is, of course, inevitable. Memories can help us forget, even if it is momentarily, the pain of losing the loved one by helping us relish and even appreciate the time we did get to share with them. This is perhaps why small keepsakes that hold a strong reminder of the person, which can help someone concentrate on the finer moments shared, are a great comfort. Cremation pendants offer a way for a person to hold a small remembrance, such as cremation ashes, a small piece of hair, or even earth from a gravesite, close at all times.

Cremation pendants are a collection of beautiful modern, and even abstract, pieces that are appropriate for everyday as well as formal wear. These elegant pendants are available in a variety of precious metals and finishes and have a small chamber that will hold a small and precious remembrance. The exquisite designs range from a simple, sleek cylinder to beautifully intricate Celtic designs, and pieces that will permanently feature a photograph of a loved one. These pieces all contain a small remembrance, but the opening is strategically placed so that it will still be a discreet tribute that will blend in with any attire.

It goes without saying that there is nothing that will ever replace the void left when losing a loved one, but holding a small part of them close can definitely help ease the sense of loss. Our happier memories will carry us through any darkness, and such a small remembrance can be regarded as a small yet powerful token of happier moments shared with that special individual.

What is the best way to care for a cremation pendant made from sterling silver?

The biggest issue with sterling silver is that it can easily tarnish if you don't properly care for it. Silver dislikes oxygen and sulfur, both of which bond to the piece's surface. This causes the jewelry to appear discolored, dirty or oxidized.

Believe it or not, the best way to avoid this discoloration or dirty look is to wear your jewelry as often as possible. Your skin's oil helps to clean the silver and keep it looking new. Try to avoid household chemicals, water, chlorine and excessive sunlight - all of which can tarnish the pieces.

To clean away any tarnish or oxidation, use a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Remember that silver can easily scratch, so it's important not to use anything that is too abrasive. That means no paper towels, toilet paper or tissues.

When you polish your sterling silver cremation jewelry, be sure to go with the grain of the silver. Use straight up-and-down motions that match the silver - don't use circles or other odd shapes when polishing. Going against the grain will magnify any scratches that may be present.

Always seek a professional jeweler if your piece gets too heavily tarnished. Most jewelers can professionally clean sterling silver for a small fee.
