Northern Lights Galaxy Paperweight with Cremains
By Ted
$279.00 $319.00
Ordering for a family? Read about how to get 20% off Family Ordering here.
A beautifully handmade glass orb with cremation ash from your loved ones swirled within. Suitable for remembering the memories of both people and pets, this orb is handmade by Ted from 2000 degree molten glass. Shaped using time-honored glass making techniques, a swirl of cremains is placed within a Green, Aqua, Purple and Gold Glass orb with blue metallic fuming. A clear viewport is polished onto the surface to best see the galactic swirl of cremains.
This orb is 3.5" in diameter (approximate) and weights around 1lbs and will ship within 4 weeks of the free collection kit's return. This uses up half a tablespoon of cremains.
A short 8 character inscription can be added to the bottom of the Orb at no charge, mention when adding to cart in order notes. Best paired with the crystal stand.
Get two and get an automatic 10% off!

Ted did an exceptional job on my Northern Lights Galaxy Paperweight with David's cremains. I just received this yesterday and I am in AWE of the BEAUTY of this piece! I feel like I am looking at David living in the depths of the universe. My home has some Northern Lights wall art and I will be putting this beautiful piece with it. I have some friends I have sent this picture to and they are now looking at contacting Spirit Pieces to work with their loved one's ashes. Thank you so very much for the respect and love you put into creating your artwork. God Bless.
Patricia T.
This is a wonderful piece and it comes with a wood block piece that changes colors
Stephen S.
My family ordered three of these orbs, one for myself, one for my sister, and one for my brother. Although they took longer than expected to completed and shipped back to me, they were worth the weight, absolutely GORGEOUS!
Linda S.
A compassionate company that understands the special care needed during a very difficult time.
Love my piece. Thank you for such a beautiful keepsake.
Tamala W.
Spirit pieces was recommended to me by a friend. I'm so glad I decided to do this. The piece is gorgeous. A picture does not do it justice.
Shelly S.
We chose The Galaxy Norther Lights because it fit our 19 year old daughter who died by suicide. Her ashes are beautifully swirled within the glass, just as she was in our lives. The artist did an amazing job. We chose to have her name inscribed in the bottom of the piece. Amazingly it looks just like my daughters signature. I just couldn't have asked for anything more.
Thank you Spirit Pieces
Tanya I.
Absolutely beautiful!
Teresa F.
This galaxy orb is pretty but without a light stand it’s dark. I was disappointed with this piece because when it sits on the lighted stand a very noticeable scratch on the front is apparent.
Virginia J.
I absolutely LOVE my mom's spirit piece. She passed away in Nov. 2019, and I wasn't able to be there because we are several states away. Then by the time I got through the process of selling her home and things, from afar, Covid 19 had hit, so we didn't get to have any type of memorial service either. So having this piece is my connection to her. I don't have anything else to remember her by because I can't travel to pick up my things from storage.
Shelly S.
Got for my niece in honor of her grandma, very happy with it.
Anita S.
This piece was extremely important to me. My mom was my best friend. When I was young, my mom and I did a Alaska project (which proudly showed the Norther Lights). I couldn't think of a better piece then this one. I light it up everyday with pride. This piece is BEYOND BEAUTIFUL and I will treasure this FOREVER! THANK YOU!
Kaitlin M.
Phenomenal way to memorialize our two fur children we lost within a year. The craftsmanship is spot on and the detail is out of this world. The photo is with a lighted base, but it looks sensational without it. Thanks a million.
sandra s.
Received Northern lights orb in my mail box on 06/27. My son was here when I opened and unwrapped it, We were both impressed at how beautiful it is. I have it on a glass shelf where the evening sunset can shine thru and it glows so nicely. It is blue and green. Blue for his favorite color and green for his birthstone. A swirl of gold, we had been married for over 50 years. it is a wonderful memory keeper. Thank you
Mary F.
I am so glad I got this. It is even more beautiful in person. I also bought the light stand to go with it and it adds just the right touch. It gives me so much comfort to look at it. If you don’t want to tell someone what it really is it just looks like a really good piece of art.
Tina J.
I haven’t received the northern lights one yet.
Brenna O.
We got this for our sweet dog that was with us for 14 years. It makes me smile whenever i see it.

The moment I took it out of the box I was overwhelmed with emotions. I felt it expressed Ziva so well. The craftsmanship was beyond amazing. Thank you for making my heart happy.

I love this orb. It is beautiful to look at, feels great to hold and is perfect to have prominently placed so my mom is always with me.
Kevin W.
This piece went to my Husband, Mom's son. He's thrilled and loves the swirl of Mom's ashes. It's on display in his office at work. We love it! Well done!

Heavy, shines and looks like the universe! Grandson will love it!

The piece is beautiful, it holds my husbands, of 60 years, ashes, The colors of the paperweight were his favorites, so it makes it more special.
Sheila G.
Feels like infinity.
Eric B.
Absolutely gorgeous. They look great, and will be a loving memory for years to come.
Penny W.
The Glass Eye is noted for their exceptional work so I knew it would be wonderful. They never disappoint. I have collected their Planets series and hoped this would be as beautiful and it is~ plus it is a creative and mesmerizing homage. As always with them: well done! I love it.
Iona M.
I have wanted to make wonderful memory pieces for my two dogs who have always been wildly missed since they passed. I love glass, have always loved paperweights and was so incredibly happy wen I foudn this site with the incredible pices made by glass artists. Chose two seperate pieces as both dogs were different personalities and love them - beautiful to look at, especially in sunlight, beautiful to hold and love that their names were inscribed on the bottom. Thank you for adding to the love I have for them and the way I remember them.
Beverly B.
Our family did three orb designs with my husband's ashes. One for each of my daughters and one for me. We each picked something different. This one was for my oldest daughter (which is why I don't have a pic - she already has it). She loved it and that was the main goal!
Sharon S.
I was a little disappointed in the colors. It’s not nearly as vibrant as the photo was.
