Lee Alexander Cremation Jewelry Review 2026: Prices, Rings, Pendants and Discount Code

Lee Alexander & Co. makes cremation rings and pendants in platinum and 18K gold. A small amount of ashes, hair or fur is sealed inside a platinum chamber called the Remembrance Pod, which is laser welded shut and guaranteed for the lifetime of the piece. Prices run from $2,750 to $16,800. Code Memorial100 takes $100 off any order.

How Lee Alexander Cremation Jewelry Holds Ashes: The Sealed Platinum Remembrance Pod

Every Lee Alexander ring and pendant is built around the Signature Platinum Remembrance Pod. The Pod is a tiny platinum urn. The workshop fills it with your material, seals it shut with a laser weld, and sets it inside the heart of the piece. You never open, fill or tighten anything yourself, and the piece arrives ready to wear.

Most cremation jewelry uses a threaded screw. The buyer fills a small chamber at home and tightens a tiny screw to close it. Screws can loosen with daily wear, and a lost screw means lost ashes. One Lee Alexander customer, Kristie C., came to the brand after exactly that happened: the cap screw on her mother’s urn necklace “disappeared one day.” A laser welded Pod has no screw, no cap and no gasket to wear out.

Lee Alexander puts this in writing on its own site: “We’re so confident in our Signature Platinum Remembrance Pod, we guarantee it for the lifetime of your piece.” Co-founder Debra Strebel described it to Memorial Merits this way:

The Pod holds more than ashes. Lee Alexander accepts hair, fur, sand, dried flowers, fabric and earth, so a family that chose burial can still have a piece made with a lock of hair or soil from the burial site.

How to Order Lee Alexander Cremation Jewelry, Step by Step

The whole process runs by mail, with prepaid and insured shipping in both directions. These are the steps from checkout to delivery.

1. Choose a piece and check out. Order on the Lee Alexander website, or book a free virtual appointment with a Customer Specialist first. Enter code Memorial100 at checkout for $100 off. The order confirmation arrives by email.
2. Send your ring size if you ordered a ring. Reply to the confirmation with your size. Production can start before your kit comes back, which shortens the wait.
3. Receive the Keepsake Preparation Kit. It arrives within 10 business days. Inside are a small protective glass jar, a prepaid return parcel, a ring sizer for ring orders, and written instructions.
4. Fill the jar. Place a small amount of ashes, hair or fur in the jar and close it. The Pod needs only a pinch, so most of the ashes stay with you.
5. Return the kit. Seal the prepaid parcel and drop it at a UPS location or schedule a UPS pickup. The parcel is insured.
6. The workshop seals your piece. Lee Alexander fills the Pod, laser welds it shut, sets it inside the piece, then polishes and inspects it.
7. Receive the finished piece. It ships insured within 6 weeks of the kit’s return, and an adult signature is required at delivery. Lee Alexander says pieces can arrive in as little as four weeks. Faster production is available for an added fee.

Trish C. wrote to the team about the step that worried her most: “It is a terrifying thing to order something like this online and send ashes through the mail… Every step of the way you checked in and really helped keep the anxiety level down.”

Lee Alexander Prices: Cremation Rings and Pendants by Collection

Lee Alexander pieces cost $2,750 to $16,800, checked on the Lee Alexander website on October 3, 2026. The price includes the Keepsake Preparation Kit, filling and sealing the Pod, and insured shipping both ways. Platinum costs more than 18K gold in every design, and diamond versions cost more than gemstone-only versions.

Three discounts can lower the total. Code Memorial100 takes $100 off any order and stacks with the Lee Alexander military discount and current promotions. For two or three pieces, Lee Alexander publishes code LAMulti2022 for 5 percent off, and for four or more pieces, code LAGroup2022 for 10 percent off. Lee Alexander does not accept returns, so the free virtual appointment is the place to settle size, metal and stone before you order.

Lee Alexander Cremation Rings: Rings That Hold Ashes in Gold and Platinum

Rings are most of the Lee Alexander catalog: 90 of its 178 pieces. Every cremation ring holds the Pod inside the band or under the stone, so from the outside it looks like fine jewelry. A ring with ashes is the piece people wear every day, often beside or in place of a wedding band. These five rings cover the range from a plain band to a diamond statement ring.

See every ring in one place: Lee Alexander cremation rings collection.

Classic Cremation Band, 18K Yellow Gold: $2,850

The Lee Alexander Classic Cremation Band is a plain, polished 2.6 mm band in 18K yellow gold, with the sealed chamber set inside the band. It costs $2,850 in yellow or white gold and $3,225 in platinum, and 14K gold is available on request. It is the lowest-priced ring Lee Alexander makes.

This is the ring a widow or widower chooses to wear next to a wedding band, or in its place. It suits the person who passed who wore one simple ring every day for forty years, and the buyer who wants a ring nobody at work will ask about. It stacks with other rings, works for men and women, and is narrow enough to wear on any finger.

Best for: a spouse or partner who wants a wedding band style ring that holds ashes.

Mystere Solitaire Cremation Ring: From $3,600

The Lee Alexander Mystere Solitaire Cremation Ring sets one 5 mm round gemstone in a raised bezel with a fine beaded edge. The listed stones are onyx, amethyst, peridot, aquamarine, tanzanite, pink sapphire and blue sapphire, with more on request, including birthstones, natural or lab grown. It starts at $3,600 in 18K white gold with onyx; the price depends on the stone and the metal.

The stone is how this ring tells its story: a mother’s birthstone, a father’s favorite color, the blue of a husband’s eyes. Hilary M. chose platinum with a pink sapphire for her mother and wrote, “I would definitely recommend Lee Alexander. I haven’t taken the ring off since I got it.” The 10 mm face is small enough for daily wear and large enough to notice.

Best for: a daughter or son who wants a birthstone ring for a parent.

Forget Me Not Cremation Ring: From $4,625

The Lee Alexander Forget Me Not Cremation Ring holds a large round domed cabochon, such as black onyx, lapis or jade, with small sculpted forget-me-not flowers on each side of the band. It is 12 mm wide and starts at $4,625 in 18K white gold, with platinum and yellow gold versions.

The forget-me-not flower has stood for remembrance for a long time, and this ring carries it in metal. Sue F. bought the platinum version with black onyx for her husband, Donnie: “I love that I now have a part of him with me all the time. The ring is absolutely gorgeous! I don’t plan on ever taking it off.” It reads as a classic cocktail ring and suits someone who wants the meaning of the piece to be visible.

Best for: a widow who wants a bold ring with a remembrance flower on the band.

Zeus Cremation Ring for Men: From $6,250

The Lee Alexander Zeus Cremation Ring is a heavy, 14 mm signet-style ring with a large octagon onyx in a beaded frame and engraved panels on each shoulder. Lee Alexander names it as its most popular cremation ring for men. It starts at $6,250 in 18K white gold, and other gemstones are available on request.

The family that started Lee Alexander went looking for cremation jewelry for men after their son Lee passed, and found almost nothing that was not a pendant. The Zeus is the answer to that search. It suits a son who lost his father, a husband who lost his wife, or a veteran who wears one heavy ring and nothing else. Collin G. wrote, “The Zeus ring looks great. Sturdy and well made.”

Best for: a man who wants a substantial signet ring that holds ashes.

Entourant Diamonds Cremation Ring: From $9,100

The Lee Alexander Entourant Diamonds Cremation Ring sets a 6.5 mm center gemstone inside a double halo, with diamond-set loops down both sides of the band: 1.0 carat of VS F+ diamonds in total. It starts at $9,100 in 18K white gold with amethyst and reaches $16,800 with a blue sapphire. Lab grown diamonds are available on request.

This is the heirloom statement piece of the catalog, the ring bought to be handed down. Shelby A. ordered it for her mother: “I wanted something that not only I would appreciate but that my future children would be able to appreciate as well, and I believe they will feel that way about this piece.” Christie chose platinum with a blue sapphire for her mother and wrote, “It’s as beautiful as she was.”

Best for: a buyer who wants a diamond ring that will be passed to the next generation.

Lee Alexander Gold Urn Necklaces and Cremation Pendants

A cremation pendant, also called an urn necklace, holds the Pod inside a pendant on a matching 18 inch chain. Lee Alexander makes 88 pendants, all in 18K gold or platinum with the chain included. A pendant is the right choice when rings are not worn every day, when a child will inherit the piece, or when a ring size is hard to settle. Lee Alexander recommends a pendant for children because their fingers are still growing.

See every pendant in one place: Lee Alexander cremation pendants collection.

Halo Personalized Cremation Pendant, 18K Yellow Gold: $2,750

The Lee Alexander Halo Personalized Cremation Pendant is a round 19 by 13 mm gold urn necklace that shows the top of the Remembrance Pod in its center. The exposed top can be customized, with a flower, hummingbird or classic design. It costs $2,750 in 18K yellow or white gold and $2,850 in platinum, on an 18 inch chain. It is the lowest-priced piece Lee Alexander makes.

Katarina P. lost her husband at 28 and chose the Halo so their four-year-old daughter could have it one day: “I knew I wanted to give my daughter this necklace when she was older and quality was definitely something I was looking for.” The Halo suits a parent buying with the next generation in mind, and anyone who wants a gold pendant that looks like fine jewelry rather than an urn.

Best for: a first Lee Alexander piece, or a necklace meant to pass to a child.

Eternity Small Cremation Pendant: From $3,375

The Lee Alexander Eternity Small Cremation Pendant is an infinity loop pendant, 18.5 mm tall, with a 5 mm gemstone of your choice in the lower loop. It starts at $3,375 in 18K gold with onyx or peridot. It also comes in a medium size and in versions with diamonds.

The infinity shape says what many people want a memorial piece to say without words. Amy C. bought urn necklaces from several companies for her mother and wrote that the Lee Alexander pendant “is by far the most beautiful and highest quality of them all, and also seems much more secure with the ashes being in the pod rather than in something with a screw top.” Kristie C. chose the diamond version and customized it “to reflect the vibrant and beautiful personality of my mom.”

Best for: a daughter who wants a birthstone necklace for her mother.

Brio Diamond Cremation Pendant: $3,800

The Lee Alexander Brio Diamond Cremation Pendant is a small round disc, about 10 mm across, covered in pave VS F+ diamonds (0.26 carat in total). It costs $3,800 in 18K yellow or white gold and $3,850 in platinum, on an 18 inch chain.

The Brio is the most discreet diamond piece in the catalog, small enough to wear under a collar or every day without notice. Kim P. bought one for her mother and wrote, “I love that my mom can be with me when I travel. Love that it’s laser sealed shut so I don’t have to take it off to shower.” Jennifer M.S. bought her first Brio in 2018 and wrote four years later that she still wears it every day.

Best for: someone who wants a small diamond necklace they never take off.

Gold or Platinum Cremation Jewelry: Which Metal to Choose

Lee Alexander casts every piece in one of three metals. There is no sterling silver, stainless steel or gold plating anywhere in the catalog.

• 18K yellow gold is 75 percent pure gold, with the warm color most people picture when they think of gold cremation jewelry. It is the lower-priced metal in every Lee Alexander design. The FTC Jewelry Guides require the karat mark to appear next to the word gold (16 CFR 23.3).
• 18K white gold has the same gold content in a silver-white color. It suits someone who wears white metals or wants the piece to match a white gold wedding band.
• Platinum 950 is 95 percent platinum. It is denser and heavier than gold, it keeps its color, and it costs more than 18K gold in most Lee Alexander designs. Under the FTC Jewelry Guides, jewelry sold as platinum with no other mark must be 950 parts per thousand pure platinum (16 CFR 23.6).
• 14K gold is available on request for any design. Ask for it at the virtual appointment.

The metal changes the look and the price. It does not change the protection: every piece, in every metal, holds the same platinum Pod. For a closer look at what separates solid gold and platinum pieces from plated keepsakes, read the Memorial Merits guide to cremation jewelry made in the USA.

Cremation Jewelry for Several Family Members

The Pod needs only a pinch of material, so one family can have several pieces made from the same ashes. Kelli E. had a custom ring made for her daughter, then ordered three more “so that others close to us could hold her always close to our hearts.” Lynda S. ordered a Forget Me Not ring for herself and a custom Halo pendant for her husband, both for their daughter: “My heart is calmer having her with me in this way, no matter where I am.”

When several people order together, use one order and Lee Alexander’s multi-piece codes: LAMulti2022 for 5 percent off two or three pieces, or LAGroup2022 for 10 percent off four or more. Ask at the virtual appointment whether Memorial100 can be applied to the same order.

Lee Alexander can also build one custom piece with more than one chamber, so a single ring or pendant can hold the ashes of two people, such as both parents. Custom pieces start with a free design conversation, then a quote, then renderings you approve before production; a non-refundable deposit is required for the renderings. Details are on the Lee Alexander custom cremation jewelry page. Many designs can also be engraved with a name, a date or a short message.

Lee Alexander Reviews: Is Lee Alexander & Co. Legit?

Yes. Lee Alexander & Co. is a family-run company that began in 2012 after the family lost their son and brother, Lee, at age 15 in 2006. The online store opened in 2016. Every piece is handcrafted in the United States, and Lee Alexander states that its diamonds are VS F+ quality and mined in Canada’s Northwest Territories. VS means Very Slightly Included, the fifth and sixth grades on the eleven-grade GIA diamond clarity scale. Co-founder Debra Strebel still works directly with customers, and many reviews name her.

These are reviews customers sent to Lee Alexander and shared with Memorial Merits, with the piece and the person each one was for.

The real limits are the price, the wait and the return policy. Pieces start at $2,750, the finished piece takes up to 6 weeks after the kit returns, and Lee Alexander does not accept returns or refunds. It does promise to work with you until you are satisfied, and it makes damaged or defective pieces right.

Who Lee Alexander Is For, and Who Should Look Elsewhere

Lee Alexander is for someone who wants one piece of real gold or platinum jewelry that holds ashes permanently, that can be worn every day, including in water, and that is built to be passed down. It suits buyers who would rather pay once for a piece that lasts than buy several lower-priced pieces over the years.

If your budget for cremation jewelry is under $1,000, look at these Memorial Merits reviewed partners instead:

• Spirit Pieces cremation jewelry fuses ashes into handmade glass pendants and rings, with most pieces under $200.
• Pulvis cremation jewelry makes handcrafted urn pendants in a range of metals at a lower price.
• Miracle Memorial cremation jewelry is a mid-range option with glass and metal pieces for people and pets.
• Lonite memorial diamonds grows a diamond from the ashes themselves, which is a different product from a piece that holds ashes inside.

Every option above is listed with others in the Memorial Merits memorial and remembrance products directory.

From the Author: Why Lee Alexander Is the Top Cremation Jewelry Partner on Memorial Merits

From the Author

I spoke with Debra Strebel before Memorial Merits ever linked to Lee Alexander, and what stayed with me was not the platinum or the diamonds. It was the necklace her family bought after Lee passed, the one that turned green within a year, and the decision that followed, to have rings made that would actually last and then to make them for everyone else who had been let down the same way. I have watched loved ones settle for a piece that was not built to outlive the grief, because the moment of choosing was too heavy to keep searching. Lee Alexander is the partner I point to when someone tells me they want one piece, made once, that their children will wear after them. It is not the lowest price on Memorial Merits, and it was never meant to be. It is the one built to be handed down.

Lee Alexander Pet Memorial Jewelry

Lee Alexander uses the same process, the same Pod and the same guarantee for pets. The Pod accepts a pet’s ashes or fur, so a piece can be made for a dog or cat that was buried at home. The Lee Alexander pet memorial jewelry review covers the rings and pendants pet owners choose and how one piece can hold more than one pet.

Paying for Lee Alexander Cremation Jewelry Over Time

Lee Alexander does not offer its own payment plan. A personal loan can spread the cost of a piece over monthly payments. Memorial Merits explains how loans compare with other ways to pay for end-of-life costs in its guide to funeral home payment plans and funeral loans.
