[Jewelry making - Article 00995] - [Orchid] Unusual repair request for a customer

    A customer came to me with a custom piece that was made for him.
    There's no signature on it so I don't know who made it. It's a glass
    "vessel" with some of his father's remains in it surrounded by a
    sterling frame (sort of). The glass vial has a crack in it and he'd
    like to have it replaced. I haven't been able to find a vial small
    enough to replace the cracked one, and I haven't been able to locate
    any artists that do these types of pieces - I've done searches but
    maybe I'm not using a keyword that relates to this type of work. Does
    this type of piece have a special name or category? I want to help
    this customer so I'd appreciate any help or suggestions!
