Is Memorial Jewellery Safe to Wear Every Day?

When choosing a memorial piece, one of the most common questions we hear is:

“Can I wear this every day?”

Memorial jewellery is deeply personal. It isn’t just an accessory, it carries meaning, memory, and connection. Naturally, you want to know it will last.

The gentle answer is: yes, with care.

Designed to Be Worn and Treasured

Our memorial jewellery is created to be worn, loved, and treasured.

Each piece is carefully set and sealed to protect the inclusion within. The resin or stone used to hold ashes, hair, or other inclusions is cured properly to ensure durability and clarity.

However, like all fine jewellery, it benefits from thoughtful care.

Everyday Wear - With Gentle Consideration

While memorial jewellery is suitable for daily wear, we recommend removing your piece when:

- Showering or bathing

- Swimming

- Applying perfumes or lotions

- Exercising

- Sleeping

These small habits help preserve the finish and protect the setting over time.

Will the Ashes or Inclusion Fade?

No. The inclusion itself does not fade.

If you would like reassurance about how much is required, you can read our guide on how much ashes are needed for keepsake jewellery here.

Ashes, hair, or fur are carefully set within the piece and remain securely contained.

Over time, normal wear may slightly soften the surface shine, just as with any jewellery but the inclusion remains safely held within.

How to Care for Memorial Jewellery

To keep your piece looking beautiful:

- Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth

- Avoid harsh chemicals or cleaning agents

- Store in a jewellery box when not being worn

- Keep away from prolonged moisture
