Ashes Made into Jewellery – A Personal Memorial You Can Wear
Having ashes made into jewellery is a beautiful way to preserve the memory of a loved one. At Evermore Glass in St Ives, Cornwall, we specialise in creating bespoke memorial jewellery using cremation ashes fused into glass. These keepsakes are more than accessories—they’re treasured tributes filled with meaning and made by hand with care.
What Does It Mean to Have Ashes Made into Jewellery?
The process involves carefully blending a small amount of cremation ash into molten glass. Once cooled and kiln-hardened, the glass is shaped into a pendant, bead, earring or cufflink, and finished with sterling silver findings. The ashes appear as soft, delicate patterns inside the coloured glass, making every piece unique.
A Timeless Way to Keep Loved Ones Close
Whether you wear your jewellery every day or only on special occasions, having ashes made into jewellery allows you to carry the memory of someone special with you. These elegant designs offer emotional comfort in a discreet and deeply personal form.
