Sculpture urn for ashes 'Angel' with glass ash pearl

An angel that stays close

If you are looking for something that goes beyond a conventional cremation urn, something that makes your connection with the person you have lost visible in your home, this memorial sculpture was made for exactly that.

Metal, wood and glass brought together

The angel figure is cut from 2 mm coated steel, and a 3D rotation effect gives it a quietly artistic quality that draws the eye without dominating the room. The powder-coating process bonds negatively charged powder to the steel electrostatically, then fuses it in a kiln to produce a hard-wearing black finish that holds its depth over time. The figure sits on a hand-finished wooden base, colour-matched by hand. A small plastic ash tube is set into the base. You fill it yourself and seal it with the included self-adhesive aluminium disc. A hollow glass ash pendant is also included: fill it with a pinch of ashes, a strand of hair, a small piece of fabric or another personal keepsake, then close it with the screw cap.

Two ways to keep someone near

You decide how to use the pendant. Wear it as a piece of jewellery, or hang it on the hook built into the sculpture. Both options are fully realised, and neither is secondary. Choose whichever feels right for you, or move between the two as time passes.

What the angel carries

The angel has long been associated with protection, unconditional love, and the connection between what is earthly and what lies beyond. That gives this piece a role that goes beyond decoration. It is a daily, visible reminder of the bond you shared, present in the room where you live.

Personalising the glass pendant

The glass ash pendant is where this memorial sculpture becomes entirely your own. A small piece of fabric from a favourite garment, a lock of hair, or a handwritten note folded to fit the tube: nothing else will hold exactly the same combination. For a careful and clean fill, an ash jewellery filling kit is worth using alongside.

Material and lasting quality

This urn for ashes is designed for indoor use, and that is the right environment for it. Keeping the sculpture inside protects both the powder-coated steel and the wooden base, and ensures both materials age well.

Understanding the wooden base

Wood is a natural material. The base may carry knots or slight surface variation, and small hairline cracks can appear where temperature changes. Neither of these is a manufacturing fault. They are characteristics of solid wood, and they mean that each base is, in a small way, its own thing. The steel figure and its finish are not affected by normal indoor conditions.
