Our original Heaven Drops are a small hand-crafted token of remembrance, made from crystal-clear glass and infused with a small amount of your loved one’s ashes. Each drop is individually sculpted in molten glass, and captures a quiet sense of purity and peace. The ashes form soft, cloud-like patterns that seem to float within the glass, creating a timeless symbol of love and connection. Each drop is made with a loop for wearing on a necklace, hanging from a rearview mirror or using in other unique applications. Heaven Drops are perfect for sharing among family members, close friends, or for including in memorial ceremonies. Each one is created with care using only a small pinch of ash.

Chris’s flameworking process involves using a glassblowing bench torch and a variety of unique hand tools. A small gather of clear, molten borosilicate glass (otherwise known as Pyrex) is gently dipped into the ash. The ash is then encased in a heavy layer of clear glass using a scientific glassmaking process called imploding.
Hello, my name is Chris Santora, and I am the founder and CEO of Sands of Time. I was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, where I still live today with my wife of 15 years and our two children.
My journey into memorial art began in 2011 with a phone call from an old friend. She shared the heartbreaking story of a young girl who had recently passed away and asked if it might be possible to incorporate her ashes into a pendant as a way to remember her. At the time, I had never attempted anything like it, but I felt compelled to try.
After weeks of trial and error, I finally created a piece that felt both beautiful and meaningful. When the family received it, their response was overwhelming. The comfort and connection they found in that pendant showed me that this was more than art—it was a calling.
Since then, Sands of Time has grown into a collective of some of the finest memorial artists from across the country. Together, we create one-of-a-kind keepsakes that honor loved ones, preserve stories, and bring comfort to families in their times of loss.
