CRYSTALLIZATION

There are many businesses that offer memorial jewelry and other types of different keepsakes. At Forever In Gemstones, we offer a unique way of creating original gemstones to be set into the jewelry of your choice. Having your gemstone created starts with crystallization. This is the only business that offers this very uniquely amazing process.

CONTENTS GROWN INTO CRYSTALS:

Ashes of loved ones
Ashes of loved pets
Locks of hair
Pet hair and fur
Feathers
Dried flowers
Tiny pieces of fabric

The process used to make crystals is the same for all contents sent to the shop. The turnaround time starts when your mail arrives at the shop. Presently it takes 1-4 weeks for an order to be completed. The time it takes is based on the amount of gemstones being made, and upon the alterations made during the creation process.

You have the choice of having a stone made with or without crystallization. Crystallization involves:

Some materials being broken down into powder in order to mix it in to a solution and it being absorbed (ashes are left as is for crystallization; they are not broken down
Once the materials are made into the desired consistency they are ready to be turned into crystals
Water is prepared and the materials are blended in at this point
It is then time to add the crystal salt
Once the desired amount has been mixed in and absorbed it is then time for the crystals to grow
Over the coarse of 3-4 days, the crystals will grow fully and set under heated light to dry
Every mixture of crystals ends up being unique – almost as if they have a story to tell

You have a choice of the crystals remaining natural and close to clear, or to have colour added to them. Depending on the type of gemstone being made, the crystals are either filed or crushed to the consistency needed. At this point they are ready to be molded and set with colour or other types of inclusions. With the gemstone cured, it is then set in jewelry.

This is a new introduction to the world of memorial jewelry, which is why Forever In Gems still offers stones made without the crystallization process. You will have the choice between the two options when choosing your jewelry.
