Ordering and Design Process for Keepsakes

Collection Kit for Ash and/or Fur Keepsakes

Upon receipt of your keepsake order, we immediately send to you in the mail a kit for sending us your beloved's ash and/or fur for your keepsake.  Kit includes pre-addressed padded envelope, collection bag for ash and/or fur and instructions.

Ash Keepsakes

Write name of pet on the smaller of the two bags in the kit.  Place approximately ¼ to ½ teaspoon of pet's ash into the bag and seal.  Place the small bag into the larger bag and seal.  All ash not used in your keepsake will be returned to you with your order.

Fur Keepsakes

The example below shows an adequate amount of fur to send us for a keepsake pendant.  Any fur not used in your keepsake will be returned to you with your order.

Mail Back To Us Your Kit

Once we receive your completed kit back in the mail and through out the design process, we remain in contact with you. 

We will notify you promptly of the arrival of your beloved's remains and verify your keepsake order choices prior to begining the design.  Orders normally take 7 to 10 business days to complete once your kit is received by us.  Please include a photograph of your beloved companion and a sentence or two about them or e-mail photo and tribute to us.  It helps us to connect to you and your pet as we design your keepsake.   

Design Process Begins

Our keepsakes are created individually, one design at a time by one artist throughout the process.  Art glass and dichroic glass is hand cut for all of our keepsakes and ground to shape.  Ash remains are carefully measured and mixed for the keepsake design.  

The Firing Process

Keepsakes under-go several glass kiln firings and hand grinding to achieve the desired shape.
