Process
Our memorials are made entirely by hand,one order at a time and are completely unique. When making your cremation Glass Jewellery from your loved ones ashes its important to us that the Ashes not only bring you comfort but that they also look beautiful as a main feature of the design, you can rest assure you'll never see another one exactly like yours. Only the highest materials are used to create our products.
A Molten glass rod being worked in the flame
We respectfully add a small amount of your loved ones ashes into molten glass to form the initial shape. The piece then goes into a kiln to cool down at a controlled rate for the glass to be annealed for strength, this takes several hours.
Shaping the cremation stone
When the glass has cooled down it's removed from the kiln and re-shaped to the correct size for the setting, we do this by hand using traditional lapidary gemstone equipment fitted with different grades of diamond wheels.
The precious metal jewellery setting is made ready for the stone to be set
The precious metal ring is made to the correct size then sent to be Hallmarked, it is then polished to a mirror finish ready to set the stone, after this stage, we can engrave a personal message, name, or a special date onto the piece for a small extra fee.
The finished piece
When your jewellery is complete it is once again inspected and given a unique Certificate Of Authenticity card, gift wrapped and ready to send to the customer.
