METHOD OF MANUFACTURING JEWELRY WITH ARTIFACTS SUCH AS CREMATION ASHES EMBEDDED THEREIN
A method includes the selection of a jewelry blank having a chamber for receiving a gem. The chamber is partially filled with a first layer of UV resin. Cremation remains are placed within the first layer of resin or on the surface of the first layer of resin. Then, UV light is used to cure the first layer of resin. A second layer of resin partially fills the remaining void and is cured. Diamond dust may be added to the top surface of the cured second layer. A final layer of protective resin is added into the remaining space of the chamber and cured to create the finished jewelry piece.
