What Makes It Uncommon

Benjamin Giguere melds cremated remains into a work of wearable, memorial glass art—a moving reminder that, "from the stars we came, and to the stars we return."

  • You send a teaspoon of your loved one's ashes to Benjamin's studio. A glassblower heats glass to a molten state, removes it to add a thin layer of the ash swirls, returns it to the flame, and sculpts it.
  • The finished pendant is set on a rhodium-plated backing engraved with a heart, and hangs from an 18" sterling silver cable chain.
  • Handmade in Rhode Island.

NOTE: Once you order, we will send you an easy kit with very specific instructions and shipping materials (including a small tin, bag, and scoop) for sending a teaspoon of ashes to Benjamin's studio. You can also click here to read the full instructions.

Due to the handmade nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

Rhode Island

When Benjamin Giguere accepted a temp job at a small-town crystal factory in Vermont, he never could have known that it’d lead to a 22-year-and-counting career in glass art. But once his interest was piqued, there was no turning back. Benjamin has since apprenticed with masters of the craft all over the world, experimenting with color and techniques and honing his talent. Eventually, this led to creating a thriving studio in Providence, Rhode Island, where he not only showcases his stunning creations, but also passes his knowledge and experience on to future leaders in the field.

This is a made-to-order item that ships directly from the maker. You will receive a pre-paid shipping label and envelope to mail your completed kit to the artist. An expected ship date for your item will be provided after the artist receives your kit. This item typically ships 6 weeks after the artist receives your kit.

Is this product customizable in any way? I see a a green-swirl disk and a red heart advertised, but are other colors or simple shapes that fit on the same backing plate possible? I'd like for the necklace to reflect the tastes of the person being memorialized if at all possible.

Verified reply from Madlen

Great question! These pendants cannot be customized. Due to the handmade nature of this item, each is unique and will vary. The backing is engraved with a heart. Hope this answers your question.

How big is the pendant?

Verified reply from Madlen

Fantastic question!! the pendant is 1.0 x 1.0 x 1.0. Hope this answers your question.

  • undisclosed

Can the pendant get wet at all? Based on cleaning instructions, does this mean to avoid even occasional shower, exercise exposure etc? Worried how fragile/delicate for daily wear …?

Verified reply from Michael

Water generally does not damage sterling silver. *But* water does cause silver to oxidize (darken) more quickly, and what type of water and the chemicals in it has an impact on how much it will cause your silver to change color Do not use ammonia, cream cleaners or any harsh chemicals to clean glass art. Aggressive detergents can damage the surface and leave an irreversible patchy, cloudy or milky effect Do not put extremely hot or cold liquid onto your glass as this may cause it to crack
