Ashes Into Sea Glass Memorial Jewellery

Unique memorial jewellery to capture the essence of the wild women, dreamers, adventurers & free spirits

Is Boho Silver sea glass memorial jewellery for me?

At Boho Silver, we predominantly make non memorial jewellery, but will take on memorial pieces on a case by case basis. We think it is extremely important that you love the style and feel of our jewellery, and favour an organic approach to design. We want the ‘fit’ to be just right, and that is when the magic happens.

We do not approach ashes jewellery with a white coat and surgical gloves. Instead, we chat away, welcome the presence and respect the energy of the person we are working with. We want to feel and capture that energy in the best way we know how; silversmithing.

At Boho Silver we create ocean inspired organic designs, each piece handmade and a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery.

How long will it take?

Ashes to sea glass memorial jewellery will take a minimum of 8 weeks, and actual completion will vary depending on how busy we are. We won’t rush memorial jewellery - the mood and process should never feel hurried or pressured. It happens in our quieter moments, when the mood feels right.

How do we go about it?

Communication is generally via email or messenger. Once we’ve had a chat and decided it’s a good fit for both parties, we will talk about the nature and essence of the person, and what you imagine for them. If a ring is wanted we will send out an adjustable ring sizer to ensure the correct size. We will ask for you to send a small resealable pouch of ash, perhaps a teaspoon worth.

Materials?

We work with sustainable recycled sterling silver and hand-collected Scottish sea glass. We can use your sea glass if it has special significance to you. We can also incorporate small gold accents into the design.

Cost?

Prices start at around £260, and most often do not exceed £800

What can you make?
Rings and necklaces are our most popular designs, but bangles or bracelets are also possible.

Scattering the remaining ashes in Scotland?

If you would like any remaining ashes scattered in Scotland, we can do this locally, near Loch Lomond, as a complimentary option. If you would like the remaining ashes scattered in a specific location in Scotland, we can do so if our time and costs are covered - we will supply a GPS code so that the exact location can always be found in the future. This is a lovely option for those with a loved one with a Scottish heritage. Otherwise we can return any unused ashes via post.

Feedback from bereaved customers

It is a very personal and challenging journey, and understandably some people prefer not to be named, or to have their jewellery shown in the public domain. Anything published is with permission.

I contacted Boho Silver in the hope they could make a ring with my dads ashes in. Having had beautiful rings in the past, I knew they wouldn't let me down. My dad was sent by Royal Mail from Bolton. He arrived, then I was told he'd made a bid for freedom out the envelope. 🤣🤣🤣 A few laughs along the way between myself and Boho, and totally left to their own imagination I was made the perfect ring. Thanks Boho Silver. 

100% recommended.

I was aware of memorial ashes jewellery but it wasn't until I saw a post on the Boho Silver FB page that I realised I could get a bespoke piece. The post showed a beautiful memorial ring that had been made for someone. The design was the kind of style I like so I sent a message to Elizabeth at Boho Silver and asked if she could make me a memorial ring for my late sister and if it could hold some of her ashes.

I wanted a piece of jewellery that was designed just for me that would help to preserve the memory of my beloved sister. 

Elizabeth agreed and asked lots of questions about my sister so that the design would not just be to my taste but would also reflect my sister's personality. Elizabeth was so kind and caring throughout the whole process and would send me pictures of her progress. 

The ring that Elizabeth created for me is absolutely stunning and I know that my sister would have loved it.

I get great comfort from wearing it and I'm so pleased I spotted that post on the Boho Silver Facebook page.

I had thought about getting ashes jewellery done, but wasn't sure, and never liked the dull style of designs that I found online, so was really pleased when a friend came across Boho Silver and sent me the link. Their jewellery is unlike anything I've ever seen, and is just the sort of boho style that I like. I contacted Boho Silver and they were very open and honest about what they could do for me, and I really liked that they approached things in a really open way and with a sense of humour. They make the jewellery around the piece of sea glass, and how it turns out after the ashes are inside, so I pretty much left them to it with just a few ideas on things I liked. It took a while to get my ring back, as they work around their usual business, but I was blown away by what they had made. It's just totally different from other stuff I've seen online, and I absolutely love my jewellery. To have the ashes held in something so lovely is perfect, and nobody guesses it is 'ashes' jewellery, which is even better as I like to keep it as my secret, and I don't want to have the discussion that wearing obvious memorial jewellery might bring.
