Over The Rainbow Memorials

Carrying their light down the aisle... ✨🕊️

One of my favorite ways to see our Over the Rainbow Memorials used is during life’s most beautiful milestones.

Years ago, this local bride had the touching idea to wrap one of our custom Suncatchers around her bridal bouquet. It was a way to keep her loved ones' "Sacred Traces" physically close as she walked down the aisle—a tangible connection to those who couldn't be there in person.

The best part? After the wedding, this piece didn't go into a box. It hangs in her window today, catching the Montana sun and keeping those memories a vibrant part of her daily life. 🏔️☀️

Each Suncatcher is handcrafted here in the Flathead Valley using hand-blown glass, semi-precious stones, and crystals. They are designed to be a lifelong legacy of love and light.

Mother’s Day Update: While our custom bench schedule is currently full for holiday delivery, an Over the Rainbow Memorials Gift Certificate is a thoughtful way to let Mom be part of the design process later on.

I’m happy to share my gallery link or more information if you’re interested—just drop a comment or send me a message!

A sacred trace you can carry everywhere... 🤍💍

There is something so intimate about a memorial ring. It’s a constant, beautiful reminder right there on your hand—a way to keep the spirit of your loved one or beloved pet with you through every part of your day.

Each of our Over the Rainbow Memorials rings is handcrafted in our Whitefish studio, turning precious "Sacred Traces" into vibrant, Living Glass. Whether you’re looking for a gift for yourself or a meaningful Mother’s Day surprise, these pieces are built to be cherished for a lifetime.

Gift Certificates are also available if you’d like to give Mom the experience of designing her own unique tribute! 🎨✨

I am currently booking for May and would be honored to help you create your own "Sacred Trace."

Capturing the light at Over the Rainbow Memorials. 🏔️❄️

It’s been a wild weather week here in the Flathead! We went from 70 degrees and sunshine to a winter warning in the blink of an eye. It’s a good reminder that while seasons change, the light we hold onto from our loved ones stays steady.

Here at Over the Rainbow Memorials, I’ve spent the afternoon by the torch thinking about our Living Glass collection and the unique ways we honor those who aren't with us anymore. Whether it’s a pendant that rests near your heart, or a dragonfly catching the breeze in your garden, there is so much comfort in having a tangible, beautiful way to keep a memory close.

Every piece I create is a one-of-a-kind collaboration. By infusing sacred traces into the glass, we create something that doesn’t just sit on a shelf—it catches the light and brings a little bit of "yummy" warmth back into your home.

From earrings to suncatchers to our signature pendants, there are so many ways to tell your story.

I’ve updated our gallery with some new pieces and stories. If you’re looking for a bit of comfort today, I’ve tucked the link into the first comment below!

Or, if you have a specific idea in mind, just drop a 🤍 below and I’ll send the info directly to your messages.

Stay warm out there, neighbors! I'll be here at the studio if you need me. 🔥🤍

Nature provides the palette, and the studio provides the fire. 🔥

I’m still in awe of the sunset we had over the Valley last night—those deep violets and glowing ambers are exactly what I strive to capture in pieces like this Twisted West Bracelet. >
Each one is hand-fabricated right here in The Flathead Valley, combining rugged leather with the delicate, sacred process of glass-blowing. It’s more than jewelry; it’s a way to carry a beautiful memory wherever you go.

To everyone who just joined the Over the Rainbow Memorials family today, welcome! I’d love for you to see the full collection at our new digital home: LivingGlassMemorials.com 🏔️✨

There is a quiet strength that is required to begin the work on a memorial piece. ⚒️✨

We are putting the final touches on this stunning, hardy sterling silver cuff bracelet here at the Over the Rainbow Memorials studio in Montana. 🏔️🌈

This particular design is so special because it is incredibly strong and secure, yet it feels delicate and comforting when it's on your wrist. It’s like a gentle embrace—the perfect, durable way to carry that sacred trace of your loved one with you, day in and day out. 🐾❤️

Each piece of glass cremation jewelry we make is hand-infused, ensuring it is as durable as the memories it holds.

The Weight of a Legacy | Hand-Forged in the Flathead 🏔️✨

There are some memories that deserve to be carried on every adventure, and others that are too sacred for anything less than a masterpiece. Today, I’m sharing a piece that does both.

In my studio, I often think about the quiet weight of the stories I’m entrusted with. I created this mixed-metal ring for those who need a substantial, elegant anchor to hold their love close. This isn't just jewelry; it’s a companion for a life well-lived.

Inside that breathtaking swirl of teal and gold glass is a "Sacred Trace" of a loved one. We hand-forge the band with a durable, hammered texture in solid Sterling Silver and frame the memory in a custom bezel of warm Gold. It’s substantial enough for a day on the Flathead River and elegant enough for any occasion.

Mixed Metal: Sterling Silver & Solid Gold accents

Water & Adventure durable (Made for Montana life!)

Hand-hammered texture for a unique, one-of-a-kind finish

Crafted with 20 years of care and expertise

For the trails that feel a little too quiet. 🌲🐾

I was so honored to create this custom Heart Touchstone for Darcy, a beloved trail buddy. His owner wanted a way to keep his spirit with her on every new adventure, so we crafted this 'Living Glass' piece to hold his sacred traces.

Now, he clips right onto her tack, making sure he’s still right by her side when the light hits the trees just right. 🌈✨

We specialize in creating these tactile, 'Living Memorials.' By weaving a small tribute of hair, fur (from a best buddy here now, or one waiting across the bridge), or ashes into our glass, we can help you turn that connection into something you can hold in the light. 💚

The Heart Touchstone is specifically designed to be tactile and durable, perfect for clipping to your tack, a keychain, or a bag. It’s a quiet way to know they are always with you. 🏔️

I hand-craft these memorial pieces right here in the Valley. If this resonates and you’d like to explore how we can help you keep that light close, just drop a comment below or send me a DM and I’d be happy to share the gallery link with you!

Happy trails, everyone! ☀️

Our hearts are so full being a part of this! 🐾

We are big fans of LostCreek-Photography and the way she has such a gift for capturing the true spirit and 'light' of our four-legged friends. That’s why we were so honored to donate a $100 gift certificate toward her incredible Humane Society of Northwest Montana calendar fundraiser.

If you’ve been looking for the perfect way to celebrate your pup (and help a great local cause!), this is it. Go check out her post and let’s help her reach that goal! ❤️✨
