Hand-Blown Glass Butterfly Pendant: Cremation Ash Memorial Necklace
About the Pendant
The Butterfly pendant in this listing features a swirl design, with the example shown using a light blue color. If you'd prefer a certain color, please let me know in the personalization box when placing your order. The pendant is approximately 2 inches in width and comes with your choice of an 18-inch silver-plated chain, 18-inch gold-plated chain, or a 20-inch black cord. Each piece is beautifully packaged, ready to be gifted or treasured for yourself.
Please note that the included necklaces are provided as a complimentary addition and are not an extra charge to the pendant itself. Since the necklaces are silver- or gold-plated, they may not be of the highest quality. However, the pendants are designed to be interchangeable, so you can pair them with a chain you already own if you’re looking for a more durable option. To keep the pendants as cost-effective as possible while ensuring you have a necklace available if needed, this is the best option I am able to provide.
Every pendant is thoughtfully packaged, ready to be a treasured keepsake or a heartfelt gift. Honor the life of someone special with a timeless piece of art that keeps their memory close to your heart.
My Approach
I believe memorial art should be personal and affordable, not mass-produced or overpriced. This is a deeply meaningful process, and I am committed to creating high-quality, handcrafted keepsakes at a fair price. My goal is to honor your loved one with care, respect, and artistry.
The Process
To ensure a smooth process, please review the following steps before placing your order:
1. Shipping Regulations
• As of March 1, 2025, USPS requires cremated remains to be shipped using their Priority Mail Express Cremated Remains Kit, available for free at your local post office or through the USPS website.
• While federal law requires cremated remains to be shipped via USPS Priority Express Mail in the designated box, the shipping method is ultimately at your discretion.
• I WILL accept ashes sent through any delivery method, as long as they arrive in a sealed container. However, I strongly recommend using a trackable shipping method for your peace of mind.
2. Collection Kit (Sent after your order is placed)
• Small scooping spoon
• Small sealable plastic bag
• Large sealable plastic bag
• Envelope with your order information
• Pre-filled return label
3. Returning the Ashes
• Use the spoon to place one scoop of ashes per item into the small bag, then seal it.
• Place the small bag inside the larger bag and seal it.
• Put the sealed bags inside the white envelope provided.
• Ship the envelope using your preferred method. If you take it to the post office, they will provide the cremated remains box and necessary supplies.
• Shipping cost is approximately $32, which is the buyer’s responsibility.
• Please send me the tracking number once the ashes have been shipped.
4. Order Timeline
• Estimated processing time is 4-8 weeks, which includes the collection kit process, shipping, and crafting.
• Once I receive the ashes, I strive to complete the piece within one week—often sooner. However, delays may occur if ashes are not sent promptly.
Shipping Costs
The total listing price does not include the cost of shipping the ashes. Please add approximately $32 to your total when budgeting for your order.
