Colour Lavender Yellow Purple Light Blue Blue

Not everyone wants a piece that announces itself as a memorial. The Opal-Inspired necklace is made with that in mind; its opal-style centre catches and shifts colour as it moves in the light, so to anyone glancing at it, it simply looks like a piece of jewellery. Only the wearer knows there's a small chamber inside holding a portion of a loved one's ashes.

That colour-shifting quality is the draw here. Depending on the light and angle, the centre moves through soft, iridescent tones rather than sitting as one flat colour, giving it more life than a plain stone. It comes in five options, lavender, yellow, purple, light blue, and blue, so you can pick something close to a favourite colour or simply what suits the wearer best.

The pendant body is polished stainless steel, chosen to hold up to daily wear without tarnishing or scratching easily. At 30mm, it's a substantial pendant without being heavy. Filling it is straightforward: a small funnel guides a pinch of ashes into the chamber, which then screws shut with a threaded closure, secure enough to wear every day, with the option of a little adhesive if you'd prefer extra peace of mind.

For anyone browsing cremation jewellery NZ wide and wanting something with a bit more colour and less of a sombre look, this is a gentle, wearable option. It's one of several designs in our keepsake jewellery range, so it's easy to compare finishes before choosing.

Ash Storage & Closure

The Opal-Inspired Keepsake Memorial Necklace includes a small internal compartment designed to hold a symbolic amount of ashes. In most keepsake jewellery, this is accessed via a discreet opening, typically sealed with a threaded screw or secure closure.

Materials & Finish

The Opal-Inspired Keepsake Memorial Necklace is constructed from high quality stainless steel and features an opal-style centre, designed to reflect light and create subtle colour variation.

How This Keepsake Works

This piece contains a small internal compartment designed to hold a tiny portion of ashes, allowing you to carry a meaningful connection with you.

If you prefer, a small amount of adhesive can be used for additional sealing, though this is not required.

Place a Small Amount Inside

Using the included funnel or filling kit, gently guide a small portion of ashes into the compartment. Only a very small amount is needed - just enough to create a personal connection.

Secure the Piece

Once filled, the jewellery can be carefully sealed using the threaded opening. This ensures the contents are held safely and discreetly during everyday wear.

Keep Them Close

Once sealed, the piece can be worn or kept with you as part of your daily life. It’s designed to be subtle, personal, and a quiet reminder of someone important.

Keepsake Jewellery FAQs

What is keepsake jewellery?

Keepsake jewellery is exactly what it sounds like: a piece of jewellery built to hold something meaningful inside it, usually a small amount of ashes.

Most pieces work the same way. A tiny sealed chamber sits inside a pendant, ring, or bracelet, filled through a small opening and closed with a screw thread.

People also call it 'cremation jewellery' or 'memorial jewellery', different names for the same idea: carrying a physical piece of someone close rather than just a photo.

It's not just for people either. Plenty of families choose ashes jewellery for a pet, using the same small-chamber design.

The appeal is simple. It's discreet enough for daily wear, but it means whoever you've lost is genuinely with you.

What are the different types of memorial jewellery?

Necklaces and pendants are the most common by far. A chain with a sealed chamber pendant, worn daily or kept for special occasions.

Rings come next, popular with people who want something more discreet than a necklace for ashes. Bracelets and charms follow a similar idea, just worn on the wrist.

Beyond ash-chamber pieces, there's fingerprint jewellery, where an actual print gets cast into metal, and jewellery made from ashes near me searches often turn up this style, pieces where ash is fused into resin or glass rather than sealed inside a cavity.

Material varies too. Stainless steel is common and affordable; sterling silver and gold exist for something with more lasting value.

Most families choose based on what the person would have actually worn.

What are some good memory necklaces for loved ones?

It really comes down to who's wearing it day to day. A simple pendant with a subtle stone works well for someone who wants understated jewellery rather than something obviously a memorial piece.

Heart-shaped designs remain the most popular memorial necklace style, largely because the symbolism doesn't need explaining.

For a bit more visual interest, opal-style or natural stone accents add colour without looking like a cremation piece at first glance, which is useful if you'd rather not field questions from strangers.

Pure Memorials' necklace for ashes range covers all of these, from minimal stainless steel pendants through to nine-colour natural stone pieces, so there's something for whichever way someone prefers to carry that memory.

Whatever you choose, check it has a proper sealed closure.
