What Makes It Uncommon

keyboard_arrow_up

Whether it's a watch, a ring, cuff links, or a locket, treasures left behind by a departed friend or family member keep their memory alive in the hearts of those they touched. Benjamin Giguere melds cremated remains into a handblown glass work of art that serves as an illuminated display for your lost loved one's cherished mementos.

  • You send a teaspoon of your loved one's ashes to Benjamin's studio in the provided kit, where a skilled glassblower heats the glass in a furnace until it reaches a molten state. They carefully incorporate a thin layer of the ashes and vibrant color swirls onto the glass before returning it to the furnace and sculpting it into a beautiful creation.
  • The kit also includes an optional questionnaire for sharing details about your loved one, allowing Benjamin to honor their memory and keep their spirit in mind while he crafts each special piece.
  • The memorial tray includes a light-up base that showcases the intricate colors, swirls, and ashes with grace and beauty.
  • Your completed memorial will come with a photo that captures poignant moments in the creation of your memorial.
  • Handmade in Rhode Island.


NOTE: Once you order, we will send you an easy-to-use kit with very specific instructions and shipping materials (including a small tin, bag, and scoop) for sending a teaspoon of ashes to Benjamin's studio. You can also read them here.

When Benjamin Giguere accepted a temp job at a small-town crystal factory in Vermont, he never could have known that it’d lead to a 22-year-and-counting career in glass art. But once his interest was piqued, there was no turning back. Benjamin has since apprenticed with masters of the craft all over the world, experimenting with color and techniques and honing his talent. Eventually, this led to creating a thriving studio in Providence, Rhode Island, where he not only showcases his stunning creations, but also passes his knowledge and experience on to future leaders in the field.
