Memorial Ashes into Jewellery:
At KL Jewellery Designs, we specialize in transforming your loved one's ashes into bespoke silver jewellery pieces. Whether it's a pendant to keep close to your heart or a ring to feel their energy, our creations offer a special connection to your treasured memories.
With only a small amount of memorial ashes required, you can preserve the rest for alternative commemorative purposes, such as...
Ashes into a memory bear:
Heather, from https://www.instagram.com/memorybears_by_heather_ni/, crafts bespoke memory bears from your loved one's clothing. Personal touches, like stitching your loved one's name onto the bear, enrich the keepsake.
Carefully, a vial of ashes is embedded into the bear before the final stitching, ensuring a comforting keepsake.
This special creation is particularly beneficial for a child coping with the loss of a loved one.
Ashes into soil:
I personally love this concept, especially for those whose lost ones had a green thumb. Mixing your loved one's ashes into a plant pot and planting seeds or a shrub/tree can be emotionally comforting. Consider their love for gardening: choosing their favourite plant or flower adds a heartfelt touch. Plus, mixing ashes into a pot allows you to carry it with you, providing solace wherever life takes you.
Ashes into glass:
Deep Waters Glass offers the opportunity to create a glass sculpture or light catcher infused with your loved one’s ashes, a truly touching tribute. You can customise your design, making it deeply personal and meaningful. Whether you opt to have the ashes visible or hidden within the glass, it adds a unique, heartfelt touch to your keepsake.

Ashes into reefs:
For those who cherished the ocean, the thought of their ashes contributing to the growth of a vibrant reef ecosystems would be a perfect legacy. Your loved one’s ashes are carefully set into a solace stone, which gracefully slides off a deck onto the seabed.
Over time, these stones become the foundation for flourishing reefs, fostering diverse marine life and offering sanctuary to creatures great and small. It's a beautiful testament to their love for the sea, ensuring their memory lives on in the depths they adored. Home - Solace Reef
