Human Ashes in Jewellery – Handmade Memorials from Cornwall
Turning human ashes into jewellery offers a powerful and lasting way to honour a loved one. At Evermore Glass in St Ives, Cornwall, we specialise in creating bespoke glass memorial jewellery using a small amount of cremation ash. Each piece is individually crafted, allowing you to carry the memory of someone special with you always.
What Does It Mean to Have Human Ashes in Jewellery?
Having human ashes in jewellery involves suspending a small portion of cremation ash within molten glass, which is then shaped into a pendant, bead or other keepsake. Once the glass cools, the ashes appear as delicate, ethereal patterns within the colour of your choice—creating a unique and beautiful tribute.
A Tangible Connection to a Loved One
While traditional memorials remain in the home, ashes jewellery is something you can wear every day. Whether you choose a pendant, bracelet charm or pair of cufflinks, it becomes a source of comfort and closeness.

All of our memorials are crafted by Sally Carver, a specialist in glass lampworking with over 15 years of experience. Working from her small studio in St Ives, Sally uses Murano glass and sterling silver to create every piece by hand, ensuring a personal and professional touch.
