Ashes Gemstones vs. Traditional Ash Storage – The Ultimate Comparison!

As once-beloved family members, the ashes left behind by our departed pets deserve to be preserved with dignity, allowing them to remain part of our lives in a different form.

Both methods store ashes, so why are ashes gemstones becoming an increasingly popular choice?

Portability:

－ Gemstones: Imagine transforming your pet into an elegant necklace or bracelet that you can wear every day. When traveling or even moving abroad, you can easily bring them along, letting them see the world with you. It’s a way to relive those cherished moments, as if they never left your side.

－ Traditional Methods: Requires an urn or container to store the ashes in their original powdered form, kept in a fixed location. Moving requires careful handling. However, this method preserves your pet’s remains in their most original state.

Structural Properties:

－ Gemstones: Chemically stable (carbon structure), unaffected by environmental factors, and can be preserved permanently without weathering or deterioration.

－ Traditional Methods: Due to Hong Kong’s humid climate, if using an urn or other container, it’s essential to keep it in a well-ventilated area or use moisture-absorbing products nearby. Otherwise, the ashes may become damp or clump together. Some companies also offer pet memorial niches or columbarium spaces, allowing owners to visit and pay respects—though this requires monthly rental fees.

Space Considerations:

－ Gemstones: Can be carried with you or stored in a beautiful keepsake box, taking up minimal space. No need for a burial plot or niche, making it ideal for urban or space-scarce areas.

－ Traditional Methods: Memorial plaques or ash niches occupy long-term space, and costs may increase over time. While green burial options like garden or sea ash scattering are available in Hong Kong, these services currently only accept human ashes—pet ashes are not yet permitted in designated memorial gardens or sea areas.
