Since 1996, Californian glass artist, silversmith, and spiritual intuitive Christina has been creating her many talents into what has become Together Again: a poignant, inspired jewelry service delivering hand rendered pieces which capture cremated pet ashes, hair, fur and other sentimental relics forever in time.
A master lampworker, Christina takes the art of molten glass shaping beyond its traditions and customs, infusing memory, life force, and soul into significant, wearable pieces. Having bloomed to life in 14th century Italy, Together Again’s modern take on this ancient practice infuses together the tangible memories keen to keep the connective flame alive.
First sparked by the passing of her grandfather and her subsequent incorporation of his ashes into glass beads as a gift to her grandmother (who would make her own transition to the afterlife soon after) personal loss and artistic flair acted as major motivators behind Christina’s serious and commited foray into memory glass; a process that has proven to be both expressive, affecting and of service to a multitude of delighted clientele from around the globe who seek a special keepsake for a beloved pet or sentimental event.
With a degree in Art and Jewelry Design, and a working background in Hypnotherapy and Grief Coaching, Christina has melded her talent for artistic conceptualization and handiwork with her deep understanding of the vital principles of life, the sentiment of milestone events, the process of bereavement, and the preservation of spirit.
Together Again™ is more than just another American jewelry brand. It is a specialized service, the continuation of ancient tradition, and a bespoke accessories collection infused with life affirming value and beautiful vibrations.

Hello, I hope you find comfort in my memory glass items. These sentimental pieces are offered from my heart to yours. Please read the following information for details about the glass, shipping, 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 Cremains: Human cremated remains are no longer allowed on Etsy. BUT we are happy to do it from our personal website at www.TogetherAgainMemroyBeads.com
❥ 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.
