Remembrance Jewelry to Keep a Loved One's Memory Close
Loss can be difficult to put into words, and there is no single right way to grieve or to support someone who is grieving. For many, comfort comes in small, tangible ways – often it's a keepsake, or a piece of jewelry that can be worn close and carries meaning without needing to be explained.
At The Bradford Exchange, we understand how much meaning people can place in the jewelry pieces they choose to remember someone by. Our remembrance jewelry offers a gentle way to honor a loved one's memory, whether you are choosing bereavement jewelry for mom, selecting a personal tribute for a family member or friend, or finding a keepsake that honors a cherished pet.
Many of our designs draw on symbols that have long offered comfort in times of loss. A cardinal is often seen as a visit from a loved one who has passed. A butterfly can represent life continuing beyond a visible ending. A feather is thought to be a gentle sign that a guardian angel is near. From bereavement rings and bracelets to bereavement necklaces and earrings, you'll find these symbols thoughtfully woven into our jewelry designs.
Like all our fine jewelry, our remembrance jewelry is expertly crafted with premium materials like solid sterling silver, solid copper and 18K-gold plating, and each is often crafted with genuine or simulated gemstones, so each piece is made to last and can be worn every day as a source of comfort. Many designs can also be personalized with a loved one's name, so the memory you hold close can feel even more personal.
However you choose to honor someone loved and missed, we hope these jewelry pieces can offer a small measure of comfort. A wide selection of bereavement gifts is also available on our website, offering more thoughtful ways to comfort someone in need. Shop Now!
Frequently Asked Questions
Bereavement jewelry and memorial jewelry are terms often used interchangeably, and in everyday conversation, they largely mean the same thing. If there's a subtle distinction, it's more about emphasis: bereavement jewelry can lean toward offering comfort and support during the grieving process, while memorial jewelry tends to focus on preserving and celebrating a loved one's memory. There are no strict rules though. What matters most is finding a piece that feels right for your own experience of loss.
Hearts, angel wings, crosses, infinity symbols, butterflies, cardinals, flowers, and paw prints are all popular choices in remembrance jewelry. The meaning behind each symbol can shift depending on personal beliefs and individual experiences. For example, a cardinal can represent a visit from a loved one to one person, while an infinity symbol speaks to an unbreakable bond for another. When selecting a design, look for imagery that genuinely reflects the person you're remembering or the relationship you shared with them.
Some of our bereavement necklaces can be personalized with options like names, dates, or birthstones. Since personalization options vary from one design to the next, our personalized jewelry pieces are labeled to help you identify them easily, and it's always a good idea to visit the page to see what's available for the piece you're considering.
Think first about the recipient's preferred jewelry type, personal style and any beliefs that might shape what feels appropriate to them. If you are not sure that they'd welcome a more visible memorial message, a more subtle design is often a good choice.
Bereavement jewelry can be given shortly after a loss or saved for a later, more personal remembrance date. Common moments include a celebration of life or memorial service, a birthday, a holiday, an anniversary, or simply a quiet gesture of support when someone needs it. As with most things related to grief, there is no universally correct time. The right moment is whatever feels meaningful to you and the person you're giving it to.
