When most people think of memorial jewelry, ashes are usually the first thing that comes to mind. But here at Mayniac Metals, we've learned that grief—and remembrance—takes many forms. Your stories, your losses, and the way you choose to honor them are deeply personal. And we believe your keepsake should reflect that.
So, what can go into a custom memorial piece?
The short answer: just about anything that means something to you.
🕊️ Ashes (Cremains)
This is the most traditional inclusion. Ashes can be carefully sealed inside a ring, pendant, or Zippo lighter. Whether from a loved one or a beloved pet, cremains symbolize lasting connection and physical presence in a tangible form.
🐾 Fur & Whiskers
For pet parents, fur and whiskers are often the most cherished physical reminders. These can be set under resin or enclosed inside a hidden chamber, preserving the unique texture and warmth of your animal’s memory.
🦷 Teeth
Yes—teeth. Whether it’s a child’s first lost tooth, a pet’s canine, or even a molar from a loved one who’s passed, teeth carry symbolic meaning. They mark milestones and memories. Many customers choose to turn these into heirloom rings or statement pendants.
🌿 Soil, Sand, or Dirt
Gravesite soil, sand from a favorite beach, dirt from a childhood home, or earth from a place where ashes were scattered—these hold powerful symbolism. They're grounding reminders of where someone lived, loved, or was laid to rest.
💌 Fabric, Paper, or Other Artifacts
We’ve made rings and pendants from pieces of shirts, scraps of handwritten notes, dried flowers from a funeral arrangement, even hair. As long as the material is stable and meaningful, we can work with it.
✨ Why It Matters
What makes memorial jewelry powerful isn’t just the material—it’s the intention. It’s the story you carry. At Mayniac Metals, we’re not just sealing stuff into jewelry; we’re helping turn your memories into metal.
And honestly? It’s an honor every single time.
