Ash charm 925 silver 'Cross'

A cross that carries more than it shows

If you are looking for a way to keep someone close in your everyday life, this silver ash charm offers exactly that: something small, familiar in form, and entirely private in meaning.

925 sterling silver

This ash charm is crafted from 925 sterling silver, meaning it is 92.5% pure silver. The remaining 7.5% is a strengthening alloy, the same composition jewellers use for pieces worn day after day. The result is a cross that looks and feels like fine jewellery, with no outward sign of what it holds inside. Many people find that reassuring.

What you can place inside

The cross holds a small amount of cremated remains, a lock of hair, or a little soil from a grave. It becomes something concrete as well as symbolic: a place where a trace of the person you loved is genuinely present. The bond you shared takes on a form you can carry with you.

The meaning of the cross is yours to decide. For some it is a religious symbol; for others it represents protection, or simply a shape that suited the person they are remembering. There is no single interpretation, and none is required.

Wearing and fitting

This charm is supplied without a bracelet. It is designed so that the bracelet passes through the charm itself, rather than clipping on, which gives the piece more movement and means it will fit most existing bracelets. A filling and closing guide is included with the charm when it arrives.

Caring for sterling silver

Sterling silver can tarnish slightly with prolonged exposure to moisture, perfume, or soap residue. After contact with water, dry the charm gently with a soft cloth. When you are not wearing it, store it somewhere dry. With that small amount of care, the surface stays bright and the contents remain safely sealed. If you prefer to seal the charm permanently, a small amount of jewellery adhesive can be applied to the closure.

A piece of jewellery that holds a private meaning

This is a cremation keepsake that works precisely because it looks like nothing other than what it is: a well-made silver cross. There is no visible indication of its purpose. You wear it as jewellery, and you alone know what it carries.

If you would like to build a small collection of memorial pieces, an engraved initial on a matching chain or a small engraved plaque for the home can complement this charm well. These are options worth thinking through at your own pace.
