Why Choose Glass Memorial Jewellery?

When it comes to crafting stunning jewellery, the materials you choose can make all the difference.

The glass that I use is a game-changer in the world of jewellery-making. Here's why:

Durability That Lasts

The glass that I use for my memorial jewellery is renowned for its exceptional durability. Unlike resin, it's designed to resist cracks, yellowing, scratches and breakage, ensuring your jewellery pieces remain as flawless as the day you crafted them.

Heat Resistance for Endurance

Jewellery often faces varying temperatures, but glass has impressive heat resistance, your keepsakes will stand the test of time. It can handle heat without compromising its integrity. Resin can withstant very minimal heat, too much heat exposure can cause the resin to melt, warp or deteriate quite significantly. Glass can be worn in spas, saunas, sunbathing etc whereas with resin its a big no no.

Water Resistance for Versatility

Forget about worries with water exposure. Glass is inherently water-resistant, making it perfect for pieces you can wear without a second thought. Resin is water resistant and not waterproof meaning that its strongly advised not to expose your pieces to water, even washing dishes can upset the resin.

The verdict? Undoubtedly, glass is far more durable than resin. It’s more high-end and exclusive, making it the perfect choice for memorial jewellery. The quality of resin I use is excellent and remains a great material for creating keepsakes; however, it requires more care and maintenance compared to glass. Resin is more versatile, allowing for a variety of inclusions such as hair and fur. Glass offers a lasting, sophisticated option for preserving cherished memories, while resin provides the flexibility to incorporate unique personal touches
