Blown glass items are beautiful and extraordinary to begin with. There are only a few companies in which add an extra special touch to these by using cremated remains of loved ones in the blown glass objects. They are very beautiful and unique objects.The most affordable and creative that I have came across was Memory Glass. They can be visited at www.memoryglass.com.

The price range varies from $175.00 to $400.00. This depends on the product and size ordered. All are great price for a beautiful keepsake memoir piece in which can be displayed in one way or another. The company suspends the ash remains within solid glass. These can be made as glass hearts, orbs, pendants as well as touch stones. They don't just use human remains but also remains of loved pets. It don't take much of the remains for these beautiful items. Due to the large amount of remains that come from the cremation process many people could enjoy these items from the loved ones remains. It only take just half of a teaspoon of remains for each item made. Additional items are offered for most of the below products such as stands, wraps and chains however these don't need to be purchased if you do not wish to do so.

Touch stones is a fairly new item in which the company has developed. Many refer to these touch stones a memory or even rubbing stones. They can be stored gradually anywhere due to its small size. These are about 1/4 inch in thickness and the size a quarter. These come in 16 colors. Clear is a color offered with just the natural color of the ash remains. These colors as well as the clear are offered on all of the products in which the company produces. These touch stones come accompanied with what the company refers to as a "3D suspension box" in which is used to display the touch stone. This items costs $175.00.

Another new item is called the memory glass hearts. These stand anywhere from 3-4 inches high. This object has a small amount of remains in the heart of the item. These come in one or two colors of your choice of the 16 colors provide. These memory glass hearts, glow on the LED stands. The cost for this product is $350.00. Two stands are available for this item and they sell $80.00 and $120.00 for the other. The stand for $80.00 is slightly smaller with two lines available for engraving.

This product will cost you $150.00. The pendant comes with a 16, 18, or 20 inch black leather cord. Chains or also available. Three chains are available and are have the three different choices of sizes as the black leather cord. The chains will come with an extra fee. A sterling silver chain is available for an extra $50.00. 14 karat yellow or white gold chains are an extra $200.00. All chains are Italian snake chains. They are chosen for their durability.

The making of these objects are very interesting. The memory glass begins as a very hot ball of glass at the end of a metal stick. Colored glass if you wish and the ashes are placed on a table. This is done in layers. The got glass picks up these particles as it rolls across them. The product must cool for about 2 days. The Memory Glass website offers a well detailed slide show with explicit photos to explain the process more into detail. They also offer information on shipping remain to them in which will begin with them sending you a welcome kit.
