Similar to heart urn necklaces, these rings can hold a small amount of cremated ashes, lock of hair, funeral flower petals or another tiny memento. And because you wear the ring on your finger or on a chain around your neck, it provides lasting comfort of having your loved one close to your heart.

Heart cremation rings are common because they symbolize a person’s affection and love for another. It’s not uncommon for a spouse or parent to wear a cremation ring as a comforting reminder. Hearts also represent the unbreakable connection between loved ones.

Cremation Urn Memorial Jewelry

December 8, 2009 urngarden.com

Early examples of mourning  jewelry were found in Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries. Black and white enameled heads or skulls were often set into both rings and brooches and worn to signify a period of mourning after the death of a loved one.

The Death’s Head motif (skull) was still used on mourning rings as late as the 17th century. A ring presented after the execution of King Charles I in 1649 shows a portrait of Charles I on one side and a skull and a crown on the other. Inside the inscription reads, “The glory of England has departed.”

The presentation of mourning rings was a status symbol in the 17th and 18th centuries. The wealthy specified the ring design and quantity to be made in their wills.

Samuel Pepys, English diarist and naval official (1633-1703) willed that 129 mourning rings be given away at his funeral.

Either he had a large family or a huge ego.

Urn Garden is pleased to launch a contemporary line of urn rings, inspired by Victorian mourning jewelry.
