Nia Emberly’s custom Evermore memorial bracelets require a half cup of ashes.

Yes. We offer two options for creating memorial jewelry with ashes from multiple sources:
Alternating Beads – Each bead is made from the ashes of one individual source, keeping them distinct. These single-source beads can then be strung together in an alternating pattern on the same bracelet, symbolizing their unique place in your life while keeping them close together.
Blended Beads – Ashes from all chosen sources are combined into a single mixture before crafting, so each bead contains a shared connection to every loved one or pet you wish to include.
Listen to your heart. This is a very personal decision, and only you know what feels right.
Many of our clients take inspiration from their loved ones’ personal sense of style or favourite color(s). While others use their own personal preferences, taste, and style to determine the right color(s) for them.
You may also want to consider where and when you’ll be wearing your memorial jewelry. Will this be a part of your everyday wear that needs to coordinate with your wardrobe? Or will your memorial jewelry be worn as a statement piece on special occasions?
We recommend cleaning your memorial jewelry with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. You should avoid exposing your memorial jewelry to harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Repairs and resizing are both complimentary and included in the Nia Emberly Heirloom Guarantee. You can learn more about the Nia Emberly Heirloom Guarantee and your repair and resizing options right here.
Memorial diamonds have gained attention for their sparkle and symbolism, but the process and claims behind them can be complex — and not always as they seem. Many companies offering memorial diamonds only use a small fraction of your loved one’s ashes, often supplementing with generic carbon, and the turnaround time can be many months or even over a year.
We encourage anyone considering a memorial diamond to research the process thoroughly, ask direct questions about ash content and sourcing, and compare costs. There are ongoing discussions — even within the industry — about transparency and authenticity in the diamond-to-ashes field.
At Nia Emberly, we take a different approach. Our all-natural memorial jewelry contains approximately 60% of your loved one’s ashes, making each piece truly personal. We handcraft every item in our Edmonton studio using a process that takes 4–6 weeks, blending artistry, tradition, and care. This ensures you receive not just a beautiful piece of jewelry, but one that holds genuine, lasting connection.
