No two of these are quite the same. The glass is worked by hand, so the ribbons of color running through the wings fall differently in every piece — which makes a certain kind of sense as something to wear for a person who was never much like anyone else either.

The Murano Glass Butterfly Cremation Urn Necklace is a broad four-winged butterfly in Murano-style glass, just over an inch across, backed in stainless steel. A hidden chamber with a secure screw-off top holds a small, symbolic portion of ashes. Butterflies have long been associated with transformation and with returning, and families often choose one when a mother or a sister is the person being remembered.

Why Families Choose This Pendant

• Hand-worked Murano-style glass — the color pattern in your butterfly won't be identical to anyone else's
• Discreet screw-off top — holds a small portion of ashes, a lock of hair, or a few dried petals from the service
• Stainless steel back — sturdy behind the glass, and the surface that makes engraving possible on a piece like this
• Broad four-wing design — larger and more colorful than our metal butterflies, for when you want the piece to be seen
• Filling kit and display box included — mini funnel, step-by-step instructions, and gift-ready packaging at no extra charge

How to Fill Your Butterfly Necklace

1. Unscrew the top of the pendant.
2. Use the included mini funnel to add a small amount of ashes.
3. Screw the top back on. For a permanent seal, add a small drop of adhesive to the threads — our Cremation Jewelry Sealant is available as an add-on above.

Care tip: glass can chip. Remove your pendant before showering, swimming, or heavy exercise, and store it in its box rather than loose in a drawer.

Make It Personal

The glass front can't be engraved, but the stainless steel back can — a name, a date, or a few words, out of sight until you turn it over. Tick Personalized Engraving in the Jewelry Add-Ons box above before adding this necklace to your cart. Engraved orders may take up to 7 extra days to process.
