Ash pendant 925 silver 'Star' (zirconia stones)

A star that stays with you

Some people leave a space that nothing quite fills. What remains is the need for something tangible, something you can carry close and that holds the truth of who they were to you. This silver ash pendant, shaped as a star and set with zirconia stones, offers exactly that: a quiet, personal keepsake you can wear every day.

925 sterling silver and zirconia: craftsmanship that shows

The pendant is made from 925 sterling silver, the recognised standard for jewellery-grade silver. That means 92.5% pure silver, with alloying metals added to give the piece strength and resilience for daily wear. The zirconia stone catches the light in a way that complements the star shape rather than competing with it. Our goldsmith describes these pieces as 'jewellery with a soul', and that feels right: the craftsmanship is precise and considered, and the result is a piece that holds meaning as well as beauty.

What the star shape carries

Stars have been used for centuries as a way of holding the memory of someone who is no longer here. There is something steady in that image: looking up and seeing something that has always been there. Wearing this pendant keeps that same idea close, visible to you and quietly present to the rest of the world. If you would like to make it more personal still, consider pairing the pendant with a chain that reflects the character or style of the person you are remembering.

Filling and wearing the pendant

The pendant closes with a small screw fitting, which means you can fill it yourself at home. It arrives with a guide to help you do this. The pendant is supplied without a chain. Like all ash jewellery of this kind, it is designed to hold a small amount of cremated remains, a little soil from a grave, or a lock of hair. For many people, wearing something like this offers a real sense of continuity during and after the period of grief.

Silver and everyday wear: what to know

Silver naturally tarnishes over time through contact with air, moisture and skin. This is a characteristic of the material, not a flaw. A soft silver polishing cloth will restore the finish in a matter of minutes. When you are not wearing the pendant, keeping it in a closed box helps to slow tarnishing and keeps the piece in good condition for years, even with regular use. It is worth avoiding prolonged contact with perfume, chlorine or lotions, as these can accelerate tarnishing.
