What Makes It Uncommon

Benjamin Giguere melds cremated remains into a work of wearable, memorial glass art, giving deep new meaning to the phrase "forever in my heart."

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.

About the Maker

created by

Benjamin Giguere

location

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.

Love the necklaces. I purchased both.

My dad passed away this year and I got the heart necklace made for my mom. I had the green necklace made for me. The process was easy and the necklaces are beautiful. I'm so happy with the purchase, I'm thinking about getting one made for my sister. I always have a piece of my dad with me.

Is it possible to make it a hollow heart and place the ashes inside before sealing the heart?

Verified reply from Michael

At this time, the maker is only able to produce the memorial items we currently carry and is unable to offer a different version

Not sure what to mark above. At my parents request, my parents ashes were put in the same urn. Is it possible to put Mom and Dad and their dates of birth on one heart? This item touches my heart!

Hello! Thank you for your question! Once you order, we'll send you a kit with very specific instructions and shipping materials (including a small tin, bag, and scoop) for sending a teaspoon of ashes to the maker's studio. You can let him know that you're sending both of your parents' ashes so he knows to write both of their names on the card.
