Golden ash pendant 'Star'

A star that stays with you

Some people leave a mark that doesn't fade. This gold ash pendant in the shape of a star lets you keep a small amount of ashes, a lock of hair, or a little earth from the grave in a piece of jewellery you can wear every day.

Gold as a material for remembrance

Gold holds its form and its lustre over time. It doesn't oxidise or discolour, and it asks nothing of you in terms of special care or storage. Working gold into a fine design like this one, with a hidden compartment that closes securely and sits flush within the star shape, demands real precision. That level of craftsmanship shows in the detailing. The pendant is supplied with a 42 cm chain, so it is ready to wear from the moment it arrives.

What the star symbol carries

The star is one of the oldest symbols of light and orientation. People look to stars when they are searching for direction, when they are thinking of someone they have lost, or when they want to hold on to something that has changed for ever. Wearing this pendant, filled with something that belonged to that person or animal, gives the bond you shared a place you can carry with you. It is personal in a way that only you will know.

Ashes, hair or earth: your choice

Many people choose, after a cremation or burial, to keep a small amount of ashes, a lock of hair, or a little grave earth in a memorial piece of jewellery. What you place inside is entirely your decision, and that makes this pendant meaningful in a quiet, private way. If you would like to personalise it further, engraving is available: a name, a date, or initials can be added to make the piece recognisably yours, or to pass on as something with a known story behind it.

Practical and lasting

Gold stands up to daily wear. It is resistant to moisture and to the effects of air, and it does not need to be removed before washing your hands or going about your day. This is jewellery intended to be worn, not kept in a drawer.

A few things to check before wearing

When the pendant arrives, check that the compartment closes fully before adding ashes or any other keepsake. Use a small funnel or the filling tool supplied to avoid spillage, and make sure the compartment is completely sealed before you put the pendant on. If you want to be certain it will not open over time, a small amount of jewellery adhesive can be used to secure the closure permanently.
