Cremation Ashes to Jewellery – A Personal Memorial You Can Wear
Transforming cremation ashes to jewellery offers a deeply personal way to keep a loved one close. At Evermore Glass, based in St Ives, Cornwall, we specialise in crafting beautiful, handcrafted memorials using a small amount of ash suspended in glass. These wearable tributes are filled with love, meaning and skilled craftsmanship.
What Does Turning Cremation Ashes into Jewellery Involve?
Cremation ashes to jewellery is the process of embedding a tiny amount of a loved one’s ashes into molten glass. Once encased, the glass is shaped into pendants, beads, earrings, cufflinks or keyrings. Each piece becomes a timeless keepsake, offering emotional comfort and a unique way to honour someone special.
A Tangible Tribute That Lasts a Lifetime
Unlike urns or framed photos, memorial jewellery lets you carry memory with you. It offers a tactile, visual connection to someone cherished—held close to the heart, wrapped around the wrist, or discreetly in a pocket.
Why Choose Evermore Glass for Memorial Jewellery?
Artisan-Crafted by a UK Glass Specialist

Designed with Sensitivity and Simplicity
The process of ordering is gentle and straightforward. We know how important these tributes are, so we treat every set of ashes and every request with complete confidentiality and kindness.
Inspired by the Beauty of Cornwall
Our colour options are drawn from nature—blues of the sea, greens of the countryside, soft dusk tones, and warm earth shades. Each design is personalised and hand-finished with sterling silver findings.
