Drop shaped glass cremation ashes mini urn 'Nova'

Four elements, one form

When you are looking for something that holds more than memory, something that speaks to who your loved one truly was, the search often begins with shape and material. The Nova is a keepsake urn hand-blown from crystal glass and formed as a drop. That shape is deliberate. The drop is the most elemental form in nature: water, rain, life itself. Within it, the four forces of nature find a place.

Earth, water, air and fire

Each element carries its own meaning. Fire here is not grief. It is passion, the energy your loved one brought to the world, the bond you shared, the memory that continues to burn. The Nova collection was designed with that idea at its centre: not as consolation, but as an honest tribute to the person they were.

Crystal glass, shaped by hand

Blowing crystal glass demands precise control of temperature, timing and technique. Any small error in the process shows immediately in the finished piece, which is exactly why this level of craft demands full attention at every stage. The result is a drop-shaped urn with a stripe pattern in azure blue, white and gold tones, finished with a soft mother-of-pearl lustre and a fine surface relief. There is no print, no foil. The pattern is formed within the glass itself, making every piece genuinely individual.

Ash reservoir with sealed closing plate

Inside the urn sits a small reservoir designed to hold a symbolic quantity of cremation ash. It is sealed with a self-adhesive closing plate. The urn is not transparent, so the ashes remain private, which can also bring a quiet reassurance when the urn is on display to visitors.

Placing it well at home

Crystal glass is more robust than standard glass, but it still calls for a settled, sheltered position. Choose a stable surface away from the edge of a shelf, and avoid places with frequent movement or vibration. Kept indoors in the right spot, this cremation urn is a lasting object that holds its beauty over the years. The mother-of-pearl lustre does not fade, and the surface relief keeps its definition.

Available in several colours

The Nova comes in a range of colour variants, each rooted in the symbolism of the four elements. Choosing a colour that reflects your loved one's character, a place that mattered to them, or a shared memory of the natural world adds another layer of meaning to the urn for everyone who sees it. Take the time you need to find the right one.
