Available in a range of colors, each bead is made individually so the visible ash pattern, glass tone, and finished character will vary from piece to piece. It is a simple, understated way to keep their memory close without needing a traditional pendant style. Explore additional styles in our glass cremation pendants collection.

Questions About Glass Cremation Beads

How are ashes added to glass cremation beads?

Cremation ashes are added to glass cremation beads by incorporating a small amount of ash into the molten or softened glass during the glassmaking process. As the bead is formed, the ashes are sealed inside the glass and become part of the finished memorial piece.

How much ash is needed for a cremation bead?

Most cremation beads require about ¼ teaspoon of cremation ash per bead or item. Only a small amount is needed to create the memorial glass.

Can a cremation bead be added to a bracelet or necklace?

Yes, a cremation bead can be added to a compatible bracelet or necklace when the bead size and core opening match the jewelry you already have. This glass cremation bead includes a sterling silver core with an approximately 4.7mm hole.
