The creators of the original ‘Eternity Bead’ ashes infused glass memorials – a family run business motivated to helping others experiencing loss. We can preserve the ashes of any loved one in our wonderful glass memorial pendants. We can also preserve the earth soil or sand from a favourite walk or a special place. These beads also make gorgeous mementos, encasing for example the sand or soil from a special holiday, a wedding or honeymoon. Handcrafted glass ashes bead or bar on an 18″ inch solid Sterling 925 Silver curb chain necklace for you to keep your keepsake or memorial close to your heart. The keyrings are perfect for non-jewellery wearers and, like the necklaces, come in a choice of glass bead or bar and a stunning range of colours. The sun-catchers will perfectly present your eternity bead. Placed in a bright window they will catch the sunlight beautifully. Every Eternity bead is lovingly forged from stunning coloured glass, encasing cremation ashes or beach sand which can be seen preserved inside the glass surrounded by light and colour. Turn a difficult time into something beautiful. Memories preserved forever in our high quality glass jewellery and keepsake creations. Precision, care and respect goes into the creation of each glass memorial at the Glass Butterfly Studio in the UK. Each handcrafted quality glass bead is made using a skilled process called lampworking which uses a high temperature torch to melt glass at over a thousand degrees Celsius. The beads are then cooled overnight in a special kiln which toughens the beads making them incredibly strong and durable. Choose from a round eternity bead (20mm diameter), a small cylinder eternity bar (20mm long x 15mm diameter) or a large cylinder eternity bar (40mm long x 15mm diameter). There is also a wide range of stunning colours to choose from. The Luminous Blue glows in the dark and comes with a free UV torch key ring. Your glass ashes eternity bead or bar will come complete with an 18″ inch solid Sterling 925 Silver curb chain necklace for you to keep your memorial close to your heart. Presented in a leatherette presentation box. Postage is included free of charge. Once you have placed your order, a pack will be sent out to you which will include everything you need to send either ashes, soil or sand to be preserved inside your Eternity Bead. Less than half a teaspoon (1ml) of ashes/soil/sand needs to be sent in the vial provided. If you would like a blend of soil, sand or ashes in one bead please ask for ‘2 vials’ in the comment box when you place your order. Crafting time is approx. 2 weeks from receipt the ashes at the studio. Any unused ashes will be returned to you along with your eternity jewellery. For every bead sold, a £2.50 donation is given by the makers to the NCTLC Trust charity – a children’s cancer charity dedicated to supporting families living with tumors, leukemia and other cancers.
