Cremation Urn Rings and Bracelets

Mourning Rings & the Modern Cremation Ring

A tradition dating back to the 1300s, mourning jewelry has been used to honor the dead for centuries. While wealthy people such as kings and queens were typically the only ones able to afford a tribute like this, today many modern families find cremation rings and bracelets to be a great way to preserve the ashes of their loved one.

A mourning ring was worn on the fingers of both Victorian women and men, to honor the memory of a deceased family member. Traditionally, it bore the person’s name and date of death and some styles included an image of the deceased. Rings became popular again in the 1930s and 1940s in the United States, and were made of Bakelite and usually featured a picture of the person being mourned.

Cremation Bracelets A Symbol of Strength and Protection

Another unique way to memorialize a loved one is by wearing an urn bracelet. Taking the historical perspective again, a bracelet is literally a ‘little bracer.”  Knights wore bracers to protect their arms during combat. The term ‘bracer’ later came to mean “something that fortifies or strengthens.”

Certainly, anyone who is grieving the loss of someone dear to them needs strength and emotional fortification to deal with the complexities of mourning. A cremation bracelet can be one way to figuratively defend against the daily onslaught of grief.

Today, cremation rings and bracelets can either be worn as a daily reminder of your loved one or displayed in a decorative box safely inside your home. In whatever way you choose to honor your loved one with your cremation ring or bracelet, these jewelry pieces are stunning reminders of the beautiful life they lived.
