Jewellery with Ashes - any recommendations?

[daisyvjewellery]

Hello everyone,

I have a customer looking to get a piece of jewellery made with her dog's ashes, but I don't feel that's something I'd be able to do. Does anyone do this or have any recommendations of anyone that does so I can pass the details on?

Thank you in advance! Daisy x

do you know what kind of jewellery the customer is after?

I've used a friend's beloved dog's ashes set in resin before in a necklace - but would depend what they are wanting.

A good option might be to have some lampwork memorial beads made incorporating some of the cremains. These can then be made into whatever your customer might like. Silver cored beads are particularly popular and can be worn on charm bracelets or on their own.

I do a few items that are suitable for ashes :

I made a really simple pendant for pussy cat ashes just put them in a vile with a bale on top, customer was happy

Thanks you are correct "vial" ( it was about 3.30 am)

Do you make those George?

I sometimes do them myself, otherwise I have the bead element done by a one of my glass artist friends. I do the coring.
