Once you have placed an order for any of our Lifestone jewellery pieces, an ashes collection kit will be automatically dispatched to you. Please note that we only send out kits after an order has been placed. At Angels Meadow, we adhere to a highly stringent process that we consider essential when handling individuals' ashes. Our utmost priority is to maintain a zero cross-contamination policy.
When you submit your order, a unique order number is generated and associated with your name and address etc. This specific number is then affixed to the ashes collection pack. Every document pertaining to your order will include this number along with your name, ensuring the utmost security for your loved one's ashes. Rest assured that upon receiving the ashes of your loved one, we can precisely identify and trace their ownership.
For any of our keepsake jewellery items, we only require a maximum of half a teaspoon of ashes. The capacity of our chamber-style 'self-fill' ash holding jewellery will differ based on the size of the piece. When you order one of our LifeStone keepsakes, we will provide an ashes collection kit that includes a vial for gathering a portion of the ashes. Simply fill the vial with the required amount, and any remaining ashes will be returned to you along with your completed piece..
,We adhere to a stringent procedure from beginning to end, ensuring that each customer's jewellery is crafted individually, without any overlap. Every set of ashes is carefully labelled with the customer's name and order number, and they are stored separately. Additionally, we offer a certificate of authenticity that displays the name of the individual whose ashes are encapsulated within the LifeStone jewellery.

Yes. As long as you follow our simple filling instructions your pendant and the contents will be very secure, However; although the pendant will be waterproof,
we do not recommend wearing your Cremation Jewellery whilst bathing or where it can be completely immersed in water as this may tarnish your pendant over time.
It is recommended that the screw bail type pendants are permanently sealed with superglue prior to being worn as these can become loose over time due to bodily movement.
Superglue is not needed for pendants with a screw in the back/side.
