Artist Turns Ashes Of Loved Ones Into Beautiful Jewelry

Artist Merry Coor creates gorgeous glass bead pendants that are far more unique than you think.

Her handmade beads are crafted from the cremated ashes of loved ones.

"The spiral design, is the ash it's self," she says. "Sometimes the ash comes out white, sometimes it comes out golden. Each bead is unique."

Each bead in the jewelry designer's portfolio is a memorial that allows those who request her services to keep a piece of their loved ones with them at all times.
