HENRI - Funeral pendant with ashes, black diamond, yellow-rose or white gold

To create this unique funeral 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 reliquary jewelry kit.

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

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

Here is 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 beautiful gold color, durable and quality alloy; Excellent value.
• 18k: Stunning gold color more rich and saturated than 10k-14k, this is a very durable alloy that will age well.

Rose gold :

• 10k: Very pronounced pinkish tint which may fade slightly over time.
• 14k: Superb pink gold color, good quality-price compromise.
• 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 appearance.
• 19k “super white”: Innovative, naturally gray without rhodium plating, harder than all other white gold alloys.

In summary, here are some considerations when making your choice:

• Durability: It is pure gold that gives alloys their property of durability. 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 the 10k, 14k, and 18k options offer an ultra white appearance thanks to the rhodium plating, but the latter fades over time and will need to be redone. The 19k "super white" offers a very beautiful white gold tone without the need for plating.
• Price: The 10k is more affordable in all categories. 14k offers a perfect compromise, offering better quality than 10k at a lower price than 18k.
• Allergies: If you have allergies to alloys, choose options with a higher carat (14k or 18k).
