Sculpture urn for ashes 'Star' with glass ash pearl

A star that stays

Some people leave a space that nothing quite fills. What remains is the need to feel close to them, in a way that fits who you both were. This metal sculpture urn for ashes, 'Star', with its glass ash pearl, is made for exactly that: an object with real meaning, built to last.

Craftsmanship in metal and wood

The sculpture is constructed from 2 mm coated steel, finished through an electrostatic powder-coating process. Negatively charged powder is bonded to the steel surface, then cured in an oven to form a hard, even matt black layer that holds up to everyday life. The wooden base is hand-finished and coloured by hand. Because wood is a natural material, you may notice knots, small variations in grain, or fine surface movement caused by changes in temperature. These are not flaws. They are what makes each piece its own.

The symbolism of the star

Across many cultures, the star represents a presence that does not fade: a point of light that endures, a reference to the sky and to someone you carry with you. Choosing this sculpture means choosing a symbol that makes that connection visible in your everyday surroundings. It is not abstract. Each time you see it, the memory of the bond you shared is simply there.

Two ways to hold what matters

This urn for ashes offers more than one way to remember. A small plastic ash tube sits within the wooden base, which you can fill yourself with a symbolic amount of cremation ashes. The sculpture also comes with a glass ash pearl fitted with a screw cap, which can hold a little ash, a lock of hair, a piece of fabric, or another personal item. You can wear the pearl or hang it from the hook on the sculpture itself. For careful filling of the pearl, using an ash jewellery filling set is recommended.

Practical considerations

This sculpture is designed for indoor use only. The powder-coated steel requires no special maintenance, but avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight, which can affect the finish over time. The glass ash pearl is delicate. Handle it gently when filling and when attaching it to the sculpture, and keep it away from surfaces where it might fall.

If you would like to add a personal touch, engraving options may be available depending on configuration. It is worth asking when you order.
