Our light-infused Memorial Gazing Orbs connect your remembrances with the timeless beauty of your love through the universal symbolism of the sphere.
Available in 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch sizes, these hollow orbs are crafted with thick, durable glass that offers wonderful versatility for display—whether placed indoors as a centerpiece or kept outside year-round in a garden space.
In daylight or illuminated at night, these special glass sculptures bring astonishing beauty, warmth, and an emotional lift to their surroundings.
Crafted to Your Specifications
Each orb is made-to-order with loving care, reverence, and your unique memories in mind.
- Custom Color Combinations: Choose two colors to swirl together from our palette on the ordering page. (Selecting at least one opaque color yields the most vibrant results.)
- Encasing Remains or Memories: Orbs can encase a small portion of cremation remains right into the surface of the glass (adding soft gray or white accents), or they can simply hold your cherished memories without adding cremation remains.
- Full Urn Functionality: Alternatively, an orb can be crafted to hold all of your loved one’s remains within its hollow void.
- Base Options: Every order includes a complimentary, fitted but detached, clear glass base. You may also upgrade to a heavier, metallic-finish glass base crafted through a special studio furnace process.
- Illumination: Optional twinkle lights can be added inside the orb’s void to light up your heart and create a gentle glow at night.
We only need a small amount—typically 1 teaspoon of cremation remains per orb. When you place your order, we ship a complimentary Collection Kit directly to you with clear instructions and safe packaging to make the process simple and stress-free.
Any unused remains are treated with the utmost respect and will be safely returned to you alongside your completed Memorial Gazing Orb.
Yes, absolutely. Many clients choose to create a Memorial Gazing Orb solely in honor of their loved one’s memory, incorporating symbolic colors without adding physical remains.
You will choose two colors from our palette when placing your order on the Shop page. People often choose the colors that reflect their loved one. Others choose their own favorite colors based on where they will place it. We recommend selecting at least one opaque color paired with a transparent color for the best visual depth. If you choose to incorporate cremation remains, they will naturally appear as soft white or light gray swirls within the glass design.
Yes. Chris Nordin crafts these hollow orbs using thick, durable, high-quality glass designed to withstand weather elements. With a little cautionary placement away from the use of power tools, they can be safely displayed in your garden, porch, or outdoor sanctuary year-round, even in freezing winter conditions.
If you choose to add twinkle lights, a gentle strand of lights is inserted into the inner void of the orb. They shine through the glass, creating a soft, comforting illumination at night without affecting the integrity of the sculpture. Some clients have connected twinkle lights to a light-sensitive, solar-powered battery so that they turn on at dusk and off at dawn.
