Sterling Silver Engraved Cremation Glass Bead | Reminisce
Couldn't load pickup availability
Handcrafted glass cremation bead for Pandora bracelets, designed to permanently fuse a small amount of cremation ashes into a wearable memorial tribute. This sterling silver core glass bead fits most major charm bracelet styles—including Pandora, Trollbeads, and Chamilia—allowing you to keep your loved one close every day.
Each custom cremation bead is individually handmade in our Arizona studio using durable borosilicate glass and precious metals. A small amount of ashes is permanently fused directly into the molten glass itself—never added with resin or glue—creating a waterproof, heirloom-quality, one-of-a-kind memorial that is as unique as the life it honors.
For an even more personal touch, custom engraving is available on each sterling silver cap with up to 20 characters (including spaces) per side. Many customers choose a name, date, initials, or short meaningful phrase.
Unlike mass-produced memorial beads that rely on glued or riveted caps, each Reminisce bead is finished using hand-set sterling silver tubing that is carefully flared on both ends for a smooth, seamless, heirloom-quality finish designed to last for generations.
Whether created in memory of a family member, beloved pet, or cherished friend, the Reminisce bead is designed to become a lasting memorial made with care, respect, and intention.

Polished vs Antiqued Finishes
Polished vs Antiqued Finishes
Our polished finish is bright, reflective, and clean with a smooth silver appearance. Engraved details remain silver for a crisp, luminous look.
Our antiqued finish has a softer brushed patina with darker tones worked into the engraved details for a more vintage-inspired appearance.
Because each piece is handmade and finished individually, slight variations in texture and patina are normal and part of what makes every memorial unique.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Your memorial bead is made from durable borosilicate glass with the ashes permanently sealed inside, making it safe for everyday wear, including exposure to water. Unlike resin-based alternatives, the glass will not yellow or cloud over time.
Sterling silver components will naturally tarnish over time. To keep your piece looking its best, we recommend:
- Removing before swimming in pools or hot tubs
- Avoiding contact with harsh chemicals or cleaners
- Storing in a dry place when not in use
- Using the included polishing cloth as needed
With proper care, your memorial will remain a lasting and meaningful keepsake for years to come.
