After the passing of our loved one, we try to find ways to remember them and keep them close to us. Some who opt for a cremation would keep the ashes in an urn, while others turn the ashes into jewellery pieces. A memorial jewellery for ashes is something that one can wear on a daily basis. Because it is always worn, one must make sure it is well-taken care of and its beauty is preserved. This way, it can last us years. One of the basic things to consider before learning how to take care of your cremation jewellery, is knowing that it is made of. The Aura-Star Keepsake Jewellery for example is made of sterling silver. The centrepiece where a small portion of ashes are kept is made of special resin. Each centrepiece is formed and polished by hand by skilful artisans. Both the sterling silver and resin are durable which can stand the test of time. They are also available in many stunning colours and unique designs. There are designs that are classic, simple, discreet, and there are some that are bold. For added sparkle, real diamond dust is sometimes included. For a meaningful jewellery piece, you can always opt for a design with a symbolism. A classic round pendant for example represents timeless elegance. An Aura-Star heart ring on the other hand means enduring love. The available Aura-Star memorial jewellery include pendants, bracelets and beads, rings, and earrings. Now that you have identified the materials and style that your cremation jewellery has, you’d be able to know how to take care of it better. Here are the different ways to take care of your ashes-infused jewellery pieces.
1. Wear it. Oils in the skin can keep silver shining and help prevent tarnish. The more you wear your sterling silver cremation jewellery, the longer it will maintain its lustre. 2. Avoid what can tarnish the jewellery. Below is a list of things to avoid so you can prevent your sterling silver cremation jewellery from tarnishing: ● chlorinated water ● harsh chemicals ● rubber ● perspiration or sulphur-containing substances such as mayonnaise, eggs, mustard, onions, wool or latex ● direct sunlight ● household cleaning substances ● hair products 3. Polish it occasionally. Here is a list of ways you can polish your cremation jewellery for ashes pieces: ● Dishwashing soap and water o Dip the jewellery in water with a mixture of dishwashing soap and gently rub a damp cloth over the jewellery. ● Baking soda and water o Make a paste out of baking soda and water and apply a small amount of it on the jewellery. Gently rub the mixture over the jewellery with a clean cloth. ● Olive oil and lemon juice o Mix one-quarter cup of lemon juice with one-half teaspoon of olive oil. Grab a clean cloth and dip it into the mixture to make it damp. Gently rub the cloth onto your jewellery. Always remember to clean the keepsake jewellery with, first, clean damp cloth, then dry cloth for best results.
