Crystal glass keepsake ashes urn 'Orion'

A drop of light that stays

Some things carry meaning simply by being present. The Orion is a handmade crystal glass keepsake urn, shaped as a teardrop, in deep translucent purple. It holds a small portion of cremation ashes and sits quietly wherever you choose to place it.

Handmade crystal glass

Each Orion is formed individually by a glassmaker. That process matters: crystal glass demands precision at every stage, and the result is visible in the clarity and depth of the finished piece. The purple colouration comes from layers of glass fused together during making, which is why the exact tonal gradations shift through the piece rather than sitting flat. At the centre of the drop sits a symbolic ring that draws the eye inward, giving the ornament a quiet focal point. No two pieces are identical, and that is not a limitation of the process. It is what handcraft produces.

The ashes are part of what you see

The ash reservoir sits within the lower core of the drop. Because the crystal glass is transparent, the cremation ashes are partially visible through the material. Combined with the layered colour, this gives the urn for ashes a depth that changes depending on where light falls across it. The reservoir is sealed with a self-adhesive closing plate: straightforward, discreet and permanent.

The bond you shared, held in glass

If you are looking for something that keeps a person's presence tangible without dominating a room, the Orion suits that well. The purple is deep but not heavy. Light moves through the glass differently at different times of day, which gives the piece a quiet sense of life. It belongs to the Premium range, and the quality of the glass makes that clear without any need for explanation from us.

Practical guidance and care

Crystal glass is robust when handled with care. Keep the Orion away from hard impacts and unstable surfaces, and place it on a flat, steady base. As this cremation urn is designed for indoor use, you do not need to account for outdoor temperature changes or weather. The self-adhesive closing plate provides a secure, lasting seal for the ash reservoir, so once the urn is filled and sealed, it requires no further attention.

Each piece is its own

Because the Orion is made by hand, the colour gradations in your piece will differ from any other. The depth of purple, the way the layers sit, the exact quality of the light through the glass: these are the marks of the maker's hand, and they make your piece genuinely singular.
