- How much ash does the ring hold?
- Only a small pinch. The compartment is a narrow channel under the setting, so it is a symbolic amount rather than a full share of ashes.
- Is it real sterling silver?
- Yes. The 0.925 stamp means 92.5 percent silver, so it is solid sterling rather than silver-plated brass. Expect normal tarnish over time.
- Can it be resized after the ashes are placed?
- No. Resizing means cutting and soldering the band, which would disturb the sealed compartment. Get the size right before filling it.
- How do I fill and seal it?
- The chamber opens from the inside of the band and is closed with a screw or threaded plug. A jeweler can seal it with adhesive for a permanent closure.
- Is cubic zirconia durable enough for daily wear?
- Yes for everyday use. Cubic zirconia is harder than glass but softer than diamond, so it can scratch over years of hard wear.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. Remove it for showers, swimming and dishes; water and soap can work into the compartment and dull the silver.
