I promise that I’ll always remember.
Cherished Emblems was created from a deeply personal journey through loss. After saying goodbye to our beloved furry family member, Brother, we wanted to hold on to something—anything—that could keep his memory close. We carefully saved one of his whiskers as a keepsake, only to have it stolen shortly after. That heartbreak stayed with us.

Years later, we discovered cremation jewelry—beautiful, discreet pieces designed to hold a small portion of ashes or a meaningful memento. It was a revelation: something tangible to carry with us, to feel close to those we’ve lost. We started Cherished Emblems with a mission to help others through their own grief journeys, offering memorial jewelry that brings comfort, strength, and connection.
Since 2018, we’ve been honored to serve over 17,000 families, each with their own story of love and remembrance. Our jewelry is more than metal and design—it’s a way to say, "I promise that I’ll always remember." That promise is at the heart of everything we do.
Each piece is made with care—most crafted from medical-grade stainless steel that will never rust or tarnish, with options available in sterling silver, and soon 14k gold & white gold.
We hope that the Cherished Emblem you choose can give you support, courage, & strength. Keeping your loved one with you close no matter where you go. We have many different types of ash jewelry from a cremation urn necklace, an urn bracelet, cremation urn keychain, keepsake urns or earrings.

At Cherished Emblems, we don’t just make jewelry—we create a way to carry love forward. Every time a customer shares how their emblem brought them peace or strength, we’re reminded why we do this. It’s not just about remembrance—it’s about continuing the bond, honoring your story, and helping you feel less alone in your grief.
From our family to yours:
We promise that we’ll always remember.
And we’ll help you do the same.
With love and care,
