Daily care basics
Cremation jewelry is made to be worn, but it should still be treated carefully. Remove the necklace before showering, swimming, exercising heavily, or applying lotions and sprays.
After wearing, wipe the pendant and chain with a soft cloth. This removes skin oils and helps keep the finish bright.
Cleaning without risk
Use a dry silver polishing cloth or soft microfiber cloth. Avoid soaking the pendant, using abrasive cleaners, or placing it in ultrasonic machines.
If the pendant has plating, stones, or a crystal face, harsh cleaners can dull or damage the finish.
Checking the chamber
If the necklace holds ashes, fur, hair, or another keepsake, check the closure gently. Do not overtighten, but make sure the screw is secure before wearing.
If you ever feel resistance when closing the chamber, stop and remove a tiny amount of material. Overfilling can prevent a secure close.
Storage tips
Store the necklace in its jewelry box or a soft pouch when not wearing it. Keep it away from humidity, direct sunlight, and loose jewelry that can scratch it.
For long-term storage, keep the filling kit and product details in the same box so the family knows what the piece holds.
