Pet Cremation Jewelry
Pet cremation jewelry is, simply put, jewelry that contains some of the cremated remains or some tangible object that belonged to the deceased pet. Cremation jewelry is catching on as the latest trend in a line of memorial traditions. They grew out of the older and more traditional system of preserving cremains in memorial urns. While urns sit in one place and cannot be carried around, cremation jewelry allows you the freedom to hold your pet close to you every minute of the day, if you so desire. This is the ideal way to meet your natural yearning to memorialize and remember a dearly departed pet. When our beloved Boxer, Daisy, died part of us - the best part - was missing. It's just so sad that when her pain ended, ours had only begun. Just like when human members of our family leave us, the demise of a pet can cause pain and suffering. Many first-time owners find it difficult to assimilate the pain of losing their pets, as one of our customers explains, 'I am left with an empty heart, feeling very lonely missing my beloved pet. I hope this picture helps you in designing something special for the two of us. She was a wonderful dog, and even though I know that my deep sadness will subside, she will always be remembered and loved by me.'
Whether you are mentally prepared or not, the process of grieving is usually a long drawn out one. Ironically, it's true that the more you love with all your heart, the more you grieve with all your heart too. There is only one healthy and acceptable ending to the grieving process - acceptance. If you're lucky, you reach this stage fairly quickly. But for many, the road to acceptance is filled with denial, guilt and depression. According to psychologists, having something tangible to hold on to makes the recovery process easier. This is the significance of photographs, cremation urns and pet cremation jewelry.
Pet cremation jewelry comes in a variety of designs and shapes and can be made from a range of substances. Shapes of bones, paws, tails, doggie and cat faces are just some of the common examples. Cremation jewelry may be crafted in gold, silver, glass or white gold. They are designed to hold cremated remains, hair, fur, feathers or whatever is 'cherished'. Anything that helps the owner feel close to the departed pet can be enclosed - some may just hold a small picture or engraving. Pet memorial jewelry comes in the form of urn pendants or lockets that can be worn around the neck or in shapes that can be carried on a key-ring, worn on a bracelet or even use as a "worry pendant". Once the material and design has been chosen, pet owners can also get their pieces personalized. Memorial jewelry can be as unique as the pet it memorializes.
If you, like millions of other bereaved pet owners, feel the desire to hold your pet close to your heart and caress him/her every now and then, even long after your pet's death, you can now do so by enclosing a part of your pet in a beautifully designed piece of pet cremation jewelry.
