How it’s made
Each piece is created using a glassblowing torch, also known as a lamp. The glass is heated and shaped with precision tools, forming the intricate design while it’s still molten. Once the piece is complete, it goes into a kiln where it’s annealed; a process of controlled cooling that strengthens the glass, making it more durable for everyday wear. This step ensures that each piece can withstand regular handling without breaking easily.

Questions About Glass Cremation Pendants

How are ashes added to glass cremation pendants?

Cremation ashes are added to glass cremation pendants by incorporating a small amount of ash into the molten or softened glass during the glassmaking process. As the pendant is formed, the ashes are fused into the glass and permanently sealed inside the finished piece.

How much ash is needed for a cremation necklace?

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

Are glass cremation necklaces the same as urn necklaces?

Glass cremation necklaces and urn necklaces both preserve cremation ashes, but they are made differently. A glass cremation necklace has ashes sealed into the glass during the creation process, while an urn necklace usually has a small hollow chamber that holds loose ashes.
