Ashes into closing pin necklace

[ifall 0]

Ok, this may not be possible but I could SWEAR I read on here that its been done. Is there a way to make a closing pin for a necklace out of ashes left from cremation? I just got my dog's ashes back and would like to do this because he was and still is part of my heart and I want to keep something with me at all times. Not really as a reminder because I will never forget him but, as I said, just a part of him to keep with me. Thanks.

Sorry for your loss ifall, hope your dog lived a long and happy life.

Can't help you with the necklace idea, but when we got our dogs ashes back we sprinkled them round the base of a tree in her favourite field.

Then I licked the leftovers out of the bag they'd been in, so she lives on in me... just an idea

but what do I know

Thanks, he did, he was 13 and that is pretty good for a 90 lb. dog that was diagnosed with cancer over a year ago.

I thought of that but he had so many favorite places/objects but he was always by our side and would do anything we asked of him.

Not sure if you're just kidding but I don't think I'm going to eat my dog's remains, he'll always be with me.

13 pretty good indeed.

I know you can have ashes turned into a diamond (it's all carbon), probably an expensive procedure and with a dogs ashes, even a 90lb dog, you'd get a very small diamond. If you got a metal forger to cast you a pin, could you not just add some of the ashes to the smolten metal?
Again not much help but can't see how there's any other way.

Was not kidding, but it was a few grains, not a meal.

but what do I know

I'm so sorry for your loss. A friend of mine recently lost her dog to and has some of her ashes put into a necklace. I think it was the cremator who did this for her, so you may want to check with the people who did the cremation.

Thanks Alana!!

How's CO? When you get a chance visit Leadville. Been there twice and absolutely love it. The #2 and #3 highest mountains in the continental US are there Mt. Elberon and Mt. Massive. Great for an all day hike.

Ok, back on track. Thanks for the responses.

Off topic, but I believe Leadville is still a superfund cleanup site. Beautiful place don't get me wrong, but superfund cleanup site is keeping the real estate cheap there - this is due to a bankrupt mine there from years past.
