Finding the right words for someone who is experiencing a loss is one of the hardest things we do in life. But finding the right gift to show your support? That can feel truly impossible. You desperately want to offer comfort without being cliché, and express heartfelt remembrance without adding to the sadness.
At Back Bay Designs, we understand this deep need. Our sea glass memorial gifts are created to be a quiet, thoughtful presence—a "pocket of peace" given during the storm. They offer a simple, honest way to say, “I’m here for you, and I remember your loved one.”
The Comfort of Shared Symbols: Dragonfly and Cardinal
We are overwhelmingly thankful that our art can hold such profound personal meaning for people. When you choose a symbol, it speaks directly from your heart to theirs.
Dragonfly Kisses From Heaven: The Power of Transformation
"Love it! I bought this for a friend as a gift for the loss of her Mom. Dragonflies have a special meaning to her." — Ilene
Ilene’s wonderful experience shows how much a personal symbol can truly help. For so many, the dragonfly represents transformation, a new perspective, and the hope of finding light even after darkness. The dragonfly starts its life below the surface and then emerges, forever changed, to take flight in the air. This journey is a beautiful mirror for a soul's passage. By incorporating this meaningful symbol into our art, we help you give a gift that honors their memory in a personal and touching way.
Always With You: The Promise of the Cardinal
“Got this as a Christmas gift for my Aunt. She absolutely loved it.” — Lauren
Many people hold the beautiful belief that when a cardinal appears, a loved one who has passed away is visiting. This flash of bright red color is seen as a sign—a messenger from heaven, reminding you that you are not alone. Our cardinal sea glass art embodies this hopeful symbolism. It’s a quiet, visual promise that while someone may be gone from this world, they are never truly apart from your heart. Lauren’s thoughtful gift shows that this remembrance can bring genuine joy and comfort, even during celebratory times.
The Healing Presence of the Sea
Beyond the specific symbols, the sea glass itself carries a profound message of healing. Every piece holds the vast, calm history of the ocean. It was once broken, sharp, and rough, but through the patient, consistent power of the waves, it was tumbled, weathered, and smoothed—transformed into something beautiful.
This journey is such a powerful, calming metaphor for healing after loss. A sea glass gift carries that peaceful, hopeful message, serving as a quiet reminder to the recipient that even when they feel broken by grief, there is still enduring beauty and peace to be found.
We are truly honored to help you find the perfect way to express love and support when the words feel impossible. Our sea glass art is a quiet gift that makes a big, heartfelt impact—a simple piece that holds a world of love. 🫶
