Product Information

Choosing which memorial piece you want can be a really difficult decision. If you've looked online for memorial jewellery, chances are you have come across the concept of resin being used as a preservation tool for ashes and hair. We do not use resin here and generally advise against it. Keep your jewellery away from electronic jewellery cleaners like ultrasonic cleaners as this will tarnish the metal completely to an irreparable stage. Also avoid using chemical cleaners like tablets and abrasives.

Glass gemstone cufflinks contain small glass gems that contain the ashes of your loved one. These gemstones are handcrafted in our workshop using tried and tested methods unique to our company. The glass is cut and the ashes are placed between the 2 pieces of glass. We use coloured glass on the bottom and clear glass on the top allowing the ashes to be clearly seen which adds to the beauty of the gemstone. The glass is then heated and fused together which encapsulates the ashes. The glass is then shaped, before being hardened and then polished. The finished piece can then be added your cufflinks.Starting in early 2023, we began the practice of positioning all cremation ashes at the base of each piece, whenever feasible. Given that cremation ashes can greatly differ in terms of texture and hue, this led to diverse end results. By embedding the ashes at the piece's bottom, we have been able to create a visually more attractive final product. Resin, or epoxy resin, is a type of glue that is man-made and used for many different purposes. Resin casting is a method of plastic casting where a mold is filled with a synthetic resin which then hardens. Due to the simplicity of the product, this can be carried out with little investment and little skill.

Removing all jewellery when showering, bathing and using a hot tub will avoid tarnishing of the metal and coatings protecting the base metal. The products used when bathing and showing such as shower gel, soaps, hand wash, hair products will also severely damage our special ashes jewellery polymer. Chlorine found in swimming pools and salt in sea water can break down the compositions of both the metals of our jewellery and our special polymer used to hold your inclusions within our ashes jewellery range.

Caring for your ashes within glass jewellery

We recommend applying lotions and perfumes before putting on jewellery. Please let perfumes and lotions fully dry into your skin before wearing your memorial jewellery. Do not spray onto any jewellery surface. Remove jewellery when applying hand sanitiser. Its use in jewellery, whilst frowned upon by master craftsmen, has grown over recent years. All resin has the possibility of discoloring to an off-yellow, warping, or falling out due to shrinkage. You cannot get it wet or expose it to too much sun. This is why you won't find resin products in a true jewellery store but will find these products on a market stall. You’ll have a choice of gemstone colours and can also choose between clear and opaque glass. Both options will allow you to clearly see the ashes in the gemstones. We understand how important your precious memorial jewellery piece is to you, so with this in mind we have provided advice on how to look after your jewellery so that it remains in beautiful condition.
