Ashes to glass?

[rackhampearl]

My Sister does 5 years ago and when she was cremated my Dad gave each of her siblings a small pot of her ashes.
I didn’t want them originally, thought it was weird her being split up ect but they found their way too me. I don’t like the thought of her sat in the house, she would have hated that. My initial idea was to take them to New York with me and scatter them as that’s where she wanted to go. But now I’m really interested in getting a ring with her ashes in. DH thinks it’s just a massive rip off since they only use a spoonful of ashes and the prices are extortionate. AIBU to order one of these rings or do you agree with DH? I think I’m still grieving.

Screw your DH. Handmade jewellery costs money, silver is expensive and this requires skill and time.

I have an envelope with a small amount of my mum's ashes - she died a couple of years ago and I'm still waiting to find the right thing. Have a look on etsy - there are some great sellers there making beautiful things with ashes. You can also get candle holders with a small section inside for ashes if you want something until you find the ideal piece.

It requires very little so you may well find you still have some left to scatter.

My mum past away in March and I got married in July. I was devastated that she wouldn't be at the wedding (only child/single parent)
I ordered the blue circular necklace (she had the most amazing blue eyes) and had it engraved on the back with a little quote.
I wear it every single day and she was my beautiful something blue on my wedding day.
It's very much a comfort thing for me

I have been umming and ahing about my brothers ashes and reading this has made me make up my mind to get something made

My friend lost his husband last year. When I went to the funeral directors with him we saw the Ashes to Glass leaflet and thought it was a fabulous idea, they only need a spoonful of the ashes.

My friend chose a gold signet ring with a beautiful blue stone and has worn it ever since.

I've got my dads ashes in a necklace I wear at all times.
I feel he's with me always xx Do it.
