14k yellow gold ash pendant 'Heart' with ruby

A heart that stays with you

After losing someone close, you may want more than a photograph on a shelf. You want something you can carry with you, something that keeps the bond real. This 14k yellow gold ash pendant holds a small amount of ashes, a lock of hair, or a pinch of earth from the grave inside the heart itself, so the connection you shared remains something you can feel.

14k yellow gold and a deep-red ruby

The heart is crafted in 14k yellow gold, meaning 58.5% of the metal is pure gold, alloyed with metals that add strength and wearability. Gold at this carat does not discolour with daily wear and is not affected by contact with the skin or moisture. The ruby is set firmly into the gold, its deep red sitting directly above the chamber where the ashes are held. Red carries meaning across many cultures as a symbol of love and vitality, and here that meaning is made literal by what lies beneath the stone.

What is included

The pendant arrives ready to fill, accompanied by a 45 cm gold chain and straightforward instructions for filling the chamber at home.

Made to be worn every day

Yellow gold is non-porous and does not react to moisture, perspiration, or ordinary daily conditions. The chamber is sealed hermetically, so the contents remain secure whether you are moving about or showering. No special storage or handling is required.

Durability and practical care

Like all precious metals, 14k gold can acquire fine surface scratches with intensive use over time. This has no effect on the seal or on how the ashes are held inside. If you would prefer to restore the surface, any goldsmith can polish it. Beyond that, the pendant needs no particular maintenance and is not fragile in normal everyday circumstances.

Making it personal

If you would like to add an initial, a date, or a short phrase to the pendant, engraving is available as an option. It is worth discussing this before you place your order so the details can be arranged from the start. Personalisation of this kind gives the piece a layer of meaning that only you and those closest to you will fully understand, and makes it unmistakably connected to the person you have lost.
