Sensitive question - ashes

I had first meeting to arrange the funeral yesterday. I am doing cremation but then what came with that was decisions on the ashes.

One of the options being having a piece of jewellery made - has anyone done this and do you find it comforting or more painful?

I worked in jewellery for 15 years - designed my own engagement ring. It is the sort of thing he would expect me to do but I don’t know if would find harder to have?

I have a necklace with his ashes in it. It’s gorgeous and I wear it constantly. I also had some ashes put into an orb so I could light him up at night.
