HENRI - Funeral pendant with ashes, .925 silver and black stone.

To create this unique cremation jewelry, we will need the ashes of your loved one. You have the choice of bringing them in person to our store or purchasing our cremation jewelry kit.

Please know that the ashes will be treated with the utmost respect in our workshop and that only a small amount is needed for this process. In order to ensure that they remain in place forever, they are meticulously sealed with a durable resin, discreetly housed in a cavity under the black stone. Thus, although invisible once the piece is finished, they remain an essential and intimate part of this jewel, of which only you know the precious contents.

Each piece in our Relics collection features an infinity symbol, indicating the presence of ashes or other precious relics. This crucial information will also facilitate any future repairs or size adjustments.

Here's a summary of the characteristics of the different types of gold to help you make a decision:

Yellow Gold:

• 10k: Beautiful golden color paler than 14k-18k, very hard and scratch resistant alloy.

• 14k: Very nice gold color, durable and quality alloy; excellent value for money.

• 18k: A stunning gold color that is richer and more saturated than 10k-14k, it is a very durable alloy that will age well.

Rose Gold:

• 10k: Very pronounced pink tint that can tarnish slightly over time.

• 14k: Superb rose gold color, good quality-price ratio.

• 18k: Less pink and more golden color, retains its color over time.

White Gold:

• 10k: Very hard, scratch resistant, rhodium plated for an ultra white appearance.

• 14k: Very popular choice, good quality-price ratio, rhodium plated for an ultra white appearance.

• 18k: Very durable and high quality, rhodium plated for an ultra white look.

• 19k “super white”: Innovative, naturally gray without rhodium plating, harder than all other white gold alloys.

In summary, here are some considerations to help you make your choice:

• Durability: It is pure gold that gives alloys their durability properties. The higher the carat, the better the quality of the alloy and the longer it will last.

• Color: If you prefer a rich color, 18k is a great choice for yellow gold. For rose gold, 14k offers a beautiful hue. For white gold, be aware that 10k, 14k, and 18k options offer an ultra white look thanks to rhodium plating, but this fades over time and will need to be replated. 19k "super white" offers a very beautiful white gold hue without the need for plating.

• Price: The 10k is more affordable in all categories. The 14k offers a perfect compromise, offering better quality than the 10k at a lower price than the 18k.

• Allergies: If you have allergies to alloys, choose options with a higher carat (14k or 18k).
