Ash charm 925 silver 'Hearts'

Close to someone you loved, every day

An ash charm is not a replacement for what you have lost. It is a considered choice to give the connection with your loved one a physical place, kept near you, on the days when that matters most.

925 sterling silver: quality that holds up to daily life

This charm is crafted from 925 sterling silver, meaning the piece is 92.5% pure silver. The remaining 7.5% is an alloy added for strength, giving the charm the durability you would expect from a piece of jewellery worn every day. The finish is precise enough that it reads simply as a carefully made hearts charm. Nobody looking at it would see anything other than that. For many people, that quiet discretion is exactly what they need.

How the charm works

The bracelet does not clip to the charm. Instead, it threads directly through the pendant, which allows the charm to move naturally at the wrist and sit as part of the bracelet rather than on top of it. Inside, you can place a small amount of ashes, a lock of hair, or a little earth from the grave. The charm is supplied without a bracelet and comes with a step-by-step guide to filling it.

The meaning behind the hearts shape

The hearts form is not decorative for its own sake. Choosing it is choosing a symbol of the bond you shared, of what continues after a person is gone. That is not sentiment. It is recognition: this was someone you loved.

Caring for sterling silver jewellery

Sterling silver can lose a little of its lustre over time through contact with air, skin moisture or perfume. This is normal and straightforward to address with a soft silver polishing cloth. When you are not wearing the charm, storing it in a small closed box or pouch will help limit oxidation and keep it looking its best for longer. If you choose to seal the charm permanently once filled, a small amount of jewellery adhesive applied to the closure is a practical step worth considering.

Personalisation

If you would like to personalise the charm, engraving options may be available on a matching element. A name, a date or a short phrase can make the difference between a beautiful piece of jewellery and something that is entirely and specifically yours.
