Human Ashes into Jewellery – Personal Memorials in Glass
Turning human ashes into jewellery is a powerful way to honour a life, preserve memory and create a personal keepsake that can be worn every day. At Evermore Glass, based in St Ives, Cornwall, we specialise in creating bespoke jewellery using cremation ashes. Each piece is handcrafted with compassion, using Murano glass and sterling silver to produce elegant tributes full of love and meaning.
What Does It Mean to Turn Human Ashes into Jewellery?
The process involves carefully infusing a small amount of human ashes into molten glass. Once blended, the glass is shaped and cooled in a kiln to form pendants, beads, earrings or cufflinks. The ashes appear as delicate, pale flecks suspended in coloured glass, making every piece completely unique.
A Physical Connection to a Cherished Memory
Wearing memorial jewellery allows you to carry the presence of a loved one close to your heart. Whether you choose a necklace, bracelet charm or keyring, the piece becomes a source of comfort and strength in times of grief or reflection.
