Hello, I hope you find comfort in my memory glass items. These sentimental pieces are offered from my heart to yours. Here is information for details about the glass, ordering, designs and more. The glass is annealed in a digitally controlled kiln at 960° degrees to insure it's durability. All the holes are cleaned and the glass is inspected for any cracks. I use mostly (104 COE) Effetre, Vetrofond and Double Helix glass. Some Borocilicate, German, and Japanese glass. CARE & HANDLING OF YOUR LOVED ONE’S ITEMS Items that we can use in our glass are mainly of natural and organic nature. Here is a list of some ideas of what we can infuse into the glass: ❥ Pet or Human Cremains: we need about one teaspoon ❥ HAIR and FUR: We just need a little. The more you provide, the more you will be able to see the bubbles and black carbon it creates. See the video here: http://togetheragainbeads.weebly.com/inclusions.html ❥ SAND OR EARTH: Fine sand and earth can be infused into the glass. It may infuse into the glass as the original color, or burn a bit depending on the organic qualities of the earth. ❥ FLOWERS AND VEGETATION: Send us your wedding, funeral, valentines, vacation, or birthday flowers and as we burn it into the glass it will create carbon ashes and bubbles. ❥ FABRIC AND FIBERS: Send us a small sample of your dog's collar, your dad's shirt, a piece of your wedding gown, etc. The fibers will burn and create black soot and bubbles in the glass. ❥ PAPER, NOTES, PHOTOS: Send us a love letter or photo and we can infuse the power of your sentiments into your glass. It can create white ash and bubbles in the glass. TIME FRAME Normal custom glass orders take between 2-8 weeks, add another 2 weeks if you are out of country. Starting October is the Holiday rush and can take longer. Please order early, and please send in your inclusions promptly after your order to insure a reasonable time frame to get your orders compete. COLLECTING THE ITEMS After your purchase we will send you a detailed message for you to send us any special inclusions. WE DO NOT SEND YOU A COLLECTION KIT. SHIPPING See above in next section for shipping policy. DESIGN AND COMMUNICATION The details form is the final and only information we take to the torch to create your order. Please have all your information on the details form. Emails and messages are most likely NOT reviewed before we make your order. The artist has assistants and they do not read each email message, so the details form must have all your information. If you have more information regarding your order that was stated in the email, please make a note of it on the details form so we are requested to read it. When the bead is cooled after annealing in the kiln, the glass is complete and can not be altered or changed. If we missed any details on the details form, we are happy to make is as ordered. If you have changed your mind, please order a new bead. PHOTO If you want us to match the glass color with a specific color to capture something sentimental such as eye color or fur, please communicate with us via email first. We require you to also include a photo in your package along with your remains. If the photo is not in there, we will not know that there is something for us to match. Please label your photo on the back with your full name, name of loved one passed and if you want the photo returned or not. RUSH ORDERS If you are in a rush to get your memory bead, please check in with me that I am able to rush it for you at this time. We may be able to activate a rush listing for you. UPGRADES Please make sure that the upgrades like glow or embellishments are added along with a memory glass item. They are not sold separately and can not be sent without attaching it to your custom memory piece. If I do not get an email response or another transaction, we reserve the right to cancel the order within 24 hours. HAND MADE Every piece comes out different as the colors are mixed by hand. Please allow for bubbles as the cremains create bubbles and they may pop and create little holes. This will not compromise the glass. Every bead is unique and size and shape can vary slightly, it is part of the beauty of being hand made. WEAR AND USE This jewelry is meant for normal wear for humans. Please do not let your pet wear them as they can break as they are glass and fragile. The metal bail loops can break if chewed or used during aggressive activities. It is suggested to remove jewelry for extreme sports activity. Removal during bathing, sleeping etc. can prolong any wear, but should last a lifetime with normal daily activity. Do inspect your jewelry from time to time just as you would with your traditional fine jewelry at the jewelers as they inspect for cracks, chips, and finding fatigue. Please avoid harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures. Chemicals can etch the glass or wear down the adhesive bond. Extreme and rapid temperature changes can crack thicker glass pieces. CLEANING Use mild warm soapy water. Do not use harsh detergents or cleaning products. Some Essential Oils may dissolve the epoxy that holds the pieces in the findings. Do not place in dishwasher, microwave, or put it through the laundry.
