Instructions On Opening Your Cremation Jewelry

The style of cremation jewelry you choose will determine the method of opening

. Some urn pendants feature a top opening bale, while others feature a threaded screw opening. In either case, cremation keepsakes are typically designed with a discreet opening that blends with the jewelry's design.

Opening Cremation Jewelry: Top Opening Bale Your cremation jewelry's top opening bale is a tiny circle, known as an eyelet, at the top of the ash pendant. A necklace or chain attached to an urn pendant by threading the chain through the bale allows the keepsake pendant to be worn as a cremation necklace or displayed under a glass dome.

There is nothing to indicate the dual purpose of the bale, which is to serve as the opening to the cremation pendant.

Opening Cremation Jewelry: Threaded Screw Opening Another kind of opening found in cremation jewelry is the threaded screw. The threaded screw opening is most often found on the ash pendant's back or bottom. If your cremation jewelry has a threaded screw opening, it may also have a non-opening bale to accommodate a necklace or chain. The tiny threaded screw opening rests flush with the urn pendant.

No matter which type of cremation jewelry you choose, you'll find that designers take great care to create a discreet opening that integrates with the overall artistic design of the cremation necklace.

Open Your Cremation Jewelry with Gentle Hands There is several important points you should keep in mind when opening your cremation jewelry. To begin, take extreme care and use gentle hands to open and close your memorial pendant to avoid damaging the threads on the bale or screw.

Opening and filling your memorial jewelry is a task you should only have to perform one time. After you open your cremation jewelry and fill it with ashes or another keepsake, such as crushed funeral flowers, soil from the cemetery where your loved one is laid to rest, or a lock of your loved one's hair, you will replace the opening and permanently seal it.

When you replace the bale or screw opening on your cremation jewelry, you'll probably notice that it's very secure. Still, many people like to seal the urn pendant with non-water soluble glue to ensure an extra measure of security and keep moisture away from the treasure inside. You may find included with your cremation jewelry special glue designed for this purpose, or you can use Krazy Glue or any non-water soluble glue.
