Touching Reminders Offers Custom Hand-Crafted Memorial Jewelry

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Jan. 23, 2015 - PRLog -- Looking for a meaningful way to permanently memorialize a special someone or an important event? A New Mexico company has the solution with their unique, patented process of encapsulating cremated remains or a lock of hair into a custom piece of jewelry.

Several styles and designs of pendants, rings, earrings, and accessories are available, some with a choice of color. The jewelry can be crafted from stainless steel, sterling silver, gold-plated, or solid gold. Some pendant designs can be engraved with a personal message. Each piece is individually handmade by a small team of professional artisans, trained to take great care of the precious materials they are charged with handling. Detailed product and ordering information can be found on the Touching Reminders website launched in late 2014.

“Most of our orders are from families who have lost a loved one and want to remember them by having us craft a pendant or ring using cremated remains or a lock of hair,” says Darren Crouch, founder of Touching Reminders, “but we’ve also received some unusual requests such as using baby teeth, swatches of fabric, or confetti from a wedding.”

“We see great potential to memorialize important events in families’ lives,” Crouch continues, “Imagine setting a clipping from your baby’s first haircut into a permanent pendant, or a lock of hair from your deployed spouse. As long as the object is small enough to be set into the chosen jewelry piece we can preserve it forever.”

The jewelry is a unique and very personal way to keep the memory of a loved one or a special moment foremost in your thoughts; and it can be passed down from generation to generation. The pendants, worn close to the heart, are a particularly touching reminder of that special someone or moment. They are discreet and tasteful, with the cremated remains pendants resembling a beautiful stone mounted in precious metal. When admired by others, the story behind the pendant can be shared.

Touching Reminders is a division of Passages International, global leaders in eco-friendly and green funeral urns and caskets since 1999.
