We only ever need a teaspoon of ashes to create your gemstone. Any that remain will be carefully returned to you with your finished jewellery.

Step 4: Your Gemstone is Crafted

If our glass studio, skilled artisans use traditional lampworking techniques with authentic Venetian Murano glass to encase the ashes within a gemstone. Each one is individually handmade, unique, and a lasting tribute to your loved one.

Step 5: Jewellery is Finished

Once your gemstone has been created, it is carefully set into your chosen jewellery mount by our expert jewellers. Every piece is polished, checked, and finished to the highest standard, ready to be treasured for years to come.

Step 6: Delivery of Your Jewellery

Your completed jewellery will be presented in our luxury gift packaging. We'll notify you by email as soon as it's on its way, ready for you to wear or to give as a meaningful gift.

Your Alba Rose jewellery begins with Venetian Murano glass, world-renowned for its purity, colour, and beauty.

Each glass gemstone is one of a kind, hand-made by our talented glass makers at our specialist production studio.

Into this beautiful glass, we enclose a small token of your loved one’s ashes, holding them inside a radiant gemstone that you can treasure forever.

The result is jewellery that holds both artistry and memory, a tribute you can wear close to your heart.

All of our products are custom made, which means that we can't specify exactly how long it will take to produce, but we can give you an rough estimate.

On average it takes 2-3 weeks from when we receive the ashes to complete your order.

Gold items usually take 3-4 weeks due to the extra hallmarking step which is required by law for all gold items.

If there is a special case you'd like us to finish your order by, then please get in touch and we'll see if it will be possible.

We will however keep you updated throughout the process, and you'll receive email notifications at the following steps:

Step 1 - Ashes Received

As soon as the ashes are received at our facility, we'll process them and notify you by email of their arrival.

Step 2 - Mount Being Made

As soon as the ashes are received at our facility, we'll process them and notify you by email of their arrival.

Step 3 - Glass Being Made

Whilst the mount is being made, we then organise the glass ashes to be produced. Typically it takes 1 - 2 weeks to complete your order from this notification.

Step 4 - Hallmarking

If your order contains any gold items, we send the finished mount for hallmarking at the Birmingham assay office. Typically it takes 3-5 days to complete your order from this notification.

Step 5 - Ready to Ship

When your order is ready to ship, we notify you with a tracking number for next day delivery.

Every Alba Rose creation is hand-crafted with love, care, and precision — a beautiful and lasting tribute, made to be treasured for years to come.

At Alba Rose, we create handcrafted memorial jewellery that holds a small token of your loved one's ashes within vibrant Murano glass
gemstones — a beautiful way to keep them close, always.

Our Story

At Alba Rose, our story begins with a legacy of craftsmanship that spans generations. Our founder is a third-generation goldsmith, raised in a family of master jewellers who believe that true artistry lies in care, patience, and precision.

That same philosophy inspires everything we create today. Each piece of Alba Rose jewellery is crafted not just with skill, but with genuine compassion. We understand the meaning behind every order, and we take pride in creating something as personal as it is beautiful.

Combining generations of traditional goldsmithing with the delicate art of Murano glassmaking, we've developed a unique process that transforms a small token of ashes into a radiant gemstone — a symbol of love, remembrance, and enduring connection.

At Alba Rose, we don't simply make jewellery — we create heirlooms that hold a piece of someone's story forever.

Our Craft & Process

Each Alba Rose creation begins in our specialist studio, where molten Murano glass from Venice is shaped by hand and infused with care. Within the glass, we suspend a small token of ashes, creating a gemstone that is truly one of a kind — no two pieces will ever be alike.

Our jewellers then craft the precious metal mount using traditional goldsmithing techniques, before each piece is finished, polished, and hallmarked. The result is memorial jewellery that blends artistry, craftsmanship, and lasting beauty — designed to be treasured for generations.
