Dru H. -"Chris, I just wanted to let you know that these pendants brought down the house on Christmas Day at my grandparents' house in Williamsburg, VA. My grandfather, who I've never seen cry, was brought to tears to find out that he had a piece of his little girl back to carry with him. I spoke to my grandma on Christmas Day and she told me that she finally felt she had a piece of her daughter that she's felt was lost when my mom passed away last November. My aunt told me it was the most wonderful gift she has ever received. I can't thank you enough for creating these memorial pendants for my family. I hope others who are waiting for theirs understand what a true talent this is, and that the time they're waiting will be well worth it."

Debbie D.- "Last year for Christmas Heather had me a necklace and her a charm for her of Billy's ashes. They are beautiful and looks like a shooting stars. I wear it often and whenever I do I receive so much comfort in it because he is next to my heart once again."

Michelle P. -"Chris Santora made 35 Comfort Stones for my brother Steve's funeral...we gave one to everyone that came to the funeral and we mailed some out to those who could not make it.

Katie Z.- "THEY'RE HERE!!!! Omg!!!!! Chris they are absolutely perfect!!! I cried when I saw the girls' necklaces, everything is just so wonderful... I don't know how to express how happy I am with your work. It's perfect. It's amazing. It's the most meaningful piece of jewelry we will ever own. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! Man, I just couldn't be happier right now. THANK YOU!!!!!! I am sure you hear it all the time, but you have no idea how much your gorgeous work means to me... and a SPECIAL thanks for getting them done before Christmas! We plan to give them to the girls as a gift from "Oompa" (what they called him), instead of from Santa :)"

Paige W.- "I just want to say how much it means to me for you to take my dogs ashes and turn them into something so beautiful. I’ve thought about her all day today and needed them to be here when I got home and they were. Thank you! Just to future customers keep in mind that he does them all himself and the time frame given is true. It takes a long time but it’s totally worth the wait. Thank you."

​Michelle M.-"I want to thank you so much for what you created. I'm wearing my pendant now, right next to my heart, and the weight of it, is there...you feel it...next to your heart...it's like she's right there. I can't explain it, but it's perfect. The comfort stones are beautiful, the ornament is so delicate, it will look great with all the Christmas lights around it, where she can sparkle again. Needless to say, I am thrilled with everything...you are wonderful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!"

Jennifer R. -"I received this beautiful piece yesterday and I am truly in awe at how beautiful it is. So much prettier than I could have imagined! I will wear it with pride knowing my sweet dog 'Bacon' is a part of it and close to my heart. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

Brandi D. -"I am so thankful for Chris' time and talent that he put into making a memorial pendant for my daughter with her beloved dog's ashes. Chris truly cares about those he works with, as evidenced by his request to have pictures and stories to go with the remains so that he can get to "know" each loved one that he memorializes. My girl loves her "Shadow necklace," and has been either wearing it or holding it since the moment it arrived in the mail. I highly recommend that anyone looking for memorial jewelry consider Sands of Time. You will be so glad that you did!"

Linda S. -"I really want to express my THANKS to Chris and Sands of Time. I lost my sister June 30th, 2017 after 6 grueling years to colon cancer. She fought like a warrior!! Donna was an AVID KC Chiefs and Royals fan. I ordered a ring for me, a cross for my son with red (Chiefs) and my daughter ordered a blue ring (Royals) in July and in August I ordered 2 pendants. I have already received all of them and so amazed at how beautiful they are!! I will forever have my sister with me, not only as a memory but now I have a piece of her to keep with me. AND will cheer on her Chief proudly while wearing my ring!! Thank you for the quick turn-around! Really wasn't expecting them until after Thanksgiving!"
