Meaningful Creations for a Lifetime

Welcome to JND Designs60 Artforms

I specialize in creating custom inlay rings, pendants, earrings, memorial jewelry, breast milk jewelry, and other one-of-a-kind keepsakes. Each piece is individually handcrafted and designed around the materials, colors, and memories that are meaningful to you.

Over the years, I have incorporated many different materials into my jewelry, including cremation ashes, hair, pet fur, breast milk, dried flowers, pieces of pet collars, fabric, small toy pieces, stones, and other sentimental items. I also offer a large selection of opals, mica powders, glow powders, crushed stones, and specialty inlay materials that can be used alone or combined with your personal materials.

Your jewelry does not have to be memorial jewelry. If you simply want a custom ring, pendant, or pair of earrings made in your favorite colors or with a special material, I would be happy to work with you.

If you have something special you would like incorporated that you do not see pictured on my website, please contact me. I am always willing to discuss new ideas and determine whether a particular material can safely and successfully be used in an inlay.

Ordering From My Website or Etsy

You are welcome to place your order through my website or my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/JNDDesigns60Artforms), depending on the type of jewelry you would like created.

IMPORTANT: Any jewelry containing human cremation remains or breast milk must be ordered directly through my website. These items cannot be ordered through my Etsy shop.

Pet memorial jewelry, custom inlay jewelry, and many of my other designs may be ordered through either my website or Etsy when available.

If you are unsure where to place your order, please contact me and I will be happy to help.

If you have a particular design in mind, please reach out before ordering. We can discuss the jewelry style, colors, inlay materials, engraving, and other details to create a piece that is personal to you.

For custom orders placed directly through my website, once we have finalized your design and any special requirements, I will provide the appropriate ordering and payment information.

Every completed piece is carefully packaged and arrives in a gift tin, ready for you or someone special.

MEMORIAL JEWELRY WITH HAIR

I WILL NEED A "LOCK OF HAIR" IF POSSIBLE. A "lock" is a small snippet of hair. In terms of length, it is roughly in the 1-inch range. For instance, the end snipped from a single curl.

An inlay ring with hair ensures that a piece of your loved one is always close to you. The hair's texture, thickness, and color will influence its visibility within the ring. Sometimes, when jewelry-grade adhesive is applied, the hair strands may appear translucent or very faint. You never want to "clump" hair or be too heavy with the hair amount added to the inlay channel of the ring, if at all possible, because of aesthetics. If you have questions, please reach out via email.

For a hair-wrapped ring, specify this when placing your order. At least two to three locks of hair are needed for a wrap. The longer the strands the better. Short strands of hair will not give a clean wrap. If that is the case, the best method would be to scatter the hair. Any unused hair will be returned with your completed order. Remember not to send all the hair you possess.

CREMATION JEWELRY

ASHES:

I would need approximately a teaspoon of ashes. Please make sure you double bag the ashes or place them in a secure non-breakable container.

SHIPPING ASHES:

USPS has specific regulations regarding the shipment of remains. For detailed information, please contact USPS directly or refer to their guidelines: https://faq.usps.com/s/article/Shipping-Cremated-Remains-and-Ashes.

There are outlined procedures for the preparation, packaging, and shipment of human or animal cremated remains. The Postal Service provides resources to help ensure compliance with these requirements and to assist with the secure mailing of such items. Adhering to these instructions helps facilitate safe and proper delivery of cremated remains.

OTHER INLAY MATERIALS:

For items such as fabric, sand, flowers, or other non-cremation ash materials intended for inlay in jewelry, the USPS Priority Mail shipping option may be suitable. Liquids, biohazardous, or radioactive substances should not be sent.

Care Instructions for Your Jewelry

Like all jewelry, care should be used by the wearer to keep your jewelry looking like new

Avoid chemicals:

- - Hand Sanitizer
  - Acetone (will destroy it)
  - Harsh Soaps
  - Etc.…..

Soaking in liquids

Wearing the ring during hard physical activity is not recommended

Wooden rings are splash resistant but should not be soaked in water or any liquid. Doing so will shorten the life of the ring before it will need to be service.

Periodically wipe your ring down with a jewelry cloth and store in the ring tin when not wearing

NOTE ABOUT TUNGSTEN RING CORES:

The exceptional hardness of tungsten is a double-edged sword. While it contributes to the metal's durability, it also makes it more prone to brittleness and breakage. A tungsten ring may crack or shatter if dropped or hit against a hard surface.
