Ash pendant 925 silver 'Mother / father and child'

The bond that stays with you

Some relationships leave a mark that nothing erases. A mother who was always there. A father who carried you. A child who left too soon. This ash pendant in 925 silver is made to hold that connection close, shaped as a figure of parent and child and worn as a piece of jewellery you keep on your body.

Craftsmanship in 925 sterling silver

925 silver, or sterling silver, is an alloy of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% additional metal, usually copper. That ratio exists for good reason: pure silver is too soft to wear reliably day to day. The copper gives the piece lasting strength while preserving the character of the silver. Each pendant is made as a piece of jewellery first, which means the finish is indistinguishable from any other quality silver piece you might wear. Nothing about it announces what it carries.

Filled and fastened by you

The pendant has a small interior chamber that holds a portion of ashes, a little soil from the grave, or a lock of hair. You fill and close it yourself using a small screw fitting, keeping the contents secure and private. The pendant is supplied with a filling guide. A chain is not included, so you can choose exactly how and where you wear it.

What the figure says without words

The image of a parent alongside a child carries meaning that is immediately understood. It is not decorative. It refers directly to the relationship you had, the closeness you miss, and the love that has not gone anywhere. If you are looking for something that makes that bond visible in a way others will recognise, this is it.

Symbolism that works in both directions

Losing a parent and losing a child are entirely different experiences, but the figures on this pendant hold both. You decide what meaning you carry with you. The design asks no questions and offers no single interpretation. It simply reflects the relationship between the two people it represents, and you bring the rest.

Caring for your pendant

Sterling silver is a durable material, but it does need some attention to stay at its best. Prolonged contact with moisture, perspiration and perfume can speed up oxidation and cause the silver to tarnish. Store the pendant dry, in a closed box or pouch, and clean it occasionally with a soft cloth to maintain its lustre. Handled with a little care, it will remain as it is for years.

What is included and what to consider

The pendant arrives with a guide explaining how to fill and seal it. A necklace chain is not included, which gives you the freedom to choose one that suits how you already dress or to pair it with a chain you already own. If you would like advice on which chain works well with this pendant, or if you have any questions about filling it, we are happy to help.
