A small measure of ashes, worked into molten glass by hand and sealed inside it forever. Ashes-to-glass pendants and necklaces to wear, paperweights and orbs to hold, urns to keep. Glass cremation jewellery and memorial keepsakes for people and for pets, made to order in our Elora studio since 1999.

Every piece begins with a small measure of ashes. We work it into molten glass by hand at the furnace, swirling it through the colour until it becomes part of the piece itself, then seal it inside as the glass cools. What comes back to you is solid glass, with your loved one held permanently within it, not a hollow locket to fill, and never sent away to a lab.
The piece most families choose is one they can wear. A pendant or necklace, with the ashes swirled through the glass and worn close, with you through an ordinary day, not only the hard ones. Each is blown and shaped by hand, the colour is yours to choose, and no two are ever the same. It isn’t a mass-produced vial you fill at home; it’s solid glass, made for you, with your loved one sealed inside.
A dog, a cat, a companion of many years: the loss is no smaller, and the making is exactly the same. We work a pet’s ashes into pendants, keepsakes and small urns by the same hands, with the same care. Many people look for pet cremation jewellery without quite knowing it has a name; if that’s you, you’re in the right place. For the ones who slept at the end of the bed.
For those who’d rather keep a piece than wear one. A paperweight for a desk, an orb to hold in the palm, a vase for the windowsill, or a glass urn to hold ashes, each with the same swirl of colour and light, to set on a shelf where it can catch the light. One difference worth knowing: a pendant or keepsake holds a small measure of ashes worked into the glass, while a glass urn can hold a larger portion. If you’re unsure which suits you, tell us and we’ll help you choose.

The pieces we make end up in the hands of people on some of the hardest days of their lives. A few of them have written to tell us what it meant.
They made two memorial pendants for me with my Dad’s ashes and I love them! I wear them regularly and have received compliments on how nice they look. We’ll be ordering more from them in the very near future. Super pleased!
I can’t thank you enough. The urn you made for my wife is absolutely amazing, words can’t describe how much it means to me. The craftsmanship is incredible, it’s a true work of art. The emotional reaction I have to it is one thing, but the workmanship that went into making it, I’m beyond impressed. Thank you so much.
