Ashes into Jewellery — Personal Memorials by Evermore Glass
The passing of a loved one is never easy, but many people find solace in having a physical keepsake that captures their essence. At Evermore Glass in St Ives, Cornwall, we specialise in transforming ashes into jewellery—elegant, wearable pieces that preserve the memory of someone special in a unique and meaningful way.
What Does ‘Ashes into Jewellery’ Mean?
Ashes into jewellery refers to the process of embedding a small amount of cremation ash into molten glass to create a wearable tribute such as a pendant, charm, or pair of earrings. These pieces allow you to carry a part of your loved one with you at all times—an everlasting symbol of connection and remembrance.
A Modern Take on Timeless Mourning Traditions
Throughout history, people have worn mourning jewellery to remember loved ones. Evermore Glass brings this tradition into the modern era with beautiful designs crafted from Murano glass and sterling silver, fused together with care and precision.
Why Choose Evermore Glass?
Personal Service Rooted in Care and Respect
Founded by artist Sally Carver in 2008, Evermore Glass is a small, independent studio focused solely on memorial pieces. Sally handmakes each piece herself and treats every set of ashes with the highest level of respect and care.
Artisan Craftsmanship with Every Piece
Using specialist lampworking techniques and Murano glass from Italy, we craft jewellery that’s not only personal but also highly durable. The ashes are carefully suspended within the glass, creating a delicate, ethereal appearance.
