I'm looking at a wall of crates as I write this. Each one is labeled by order number, and each one holds a portion of a couple's wedding glass.
Most people never think about what happens after they mail their crystals back. We use what we need to make your piece, and most of the leftover goes back to you, with a small portion kept on the shelf, so that years later we can make you an ornament or pendant from the exact colors you poured on your wedding day.
It hasn't always been a permanent policy. For years we kept glass for a few years at a time. About a year ago we decided your colors deserve better than an expiration date, so now every order stays.
If you're a past customer and wondering whether your colors are still on our shelf, message us your order number and we'll check. Full story below.
You mail your crystals back after the wedding, and we blow them into your piece. But that is not the end of the story. Here is what happens to the glass we do not use, and why we recently decided to save a portion of every order, indefinitely.
