Cremation Pendant for Ashes 'Rectangle' 925 silver

A quiet way to keep someone close

Some things don't need to be explained to hold real meaning. This rectangular cremation pendant lets you carry a physical reminder of someone you've lost, worn every day, visible only to you.

Craftsmanship you can see in the finish

The pendant is made from rhodium-plated 925 silver. Rhodium plating is a technical process rather than a decorative one: a fine layer of rhodium, a precious metal from the platinum family, is bonded to the silver surface. This makes the metal harder, prevents oxidation and gives the piece lasting resistance to everyday atmospheric conditions. The result is a finish that stays brighter for longer than untreated silver. Every piece carries the 925 hallmark, confirming it has been tested and meets international quality standards for precious metal. Because of the precise detailing involved in shapes like this one, these pendants are largely made by hand, and that care shows. Nothing about the piece identifies it as a holder for ashes.

How the pendant works

A small screw fitting lets you fill the pendant yourself. You can choose to place a little ash inside, a pinch of soil from the grave, or a lock of hair. The pendant arrives with a filling guide included. A chain is not included, which means you can choose whichever chain suits you best, whether a fine Venetian style or something with a heavier link, to make the piece entirely your own.

Practical care and everyday wear

Rhodium-plated silver is well suited to daily wear. The coating holds up well under normal conditions, but it is worth avoiding prolonged contact with perfume, chlorine or harsh cleaning products, as these can gradually wear the rhodium layer. A soft polishing cloth is all you need to keep it looking its best. If you would like to ensure the pendant stays permanently sealed, a small amount of adhesive applied to the screw fitting will hold it securely.

The bond you carry with you

Our goldsmith describes these pendants as 'jewellery with a soul.' Not as a phrase, but as a straightforward description of what they do: they hold a concrete, physical connection to someone you loved. For many people, having that presence close brings something that words don't quite reach, both during bereavement and in the months and years that follow.

Making it personal

The chain you choose to wear with this urn for ashes pendant is one way to make it fully yours. A delicate Venetian chain gives it a different character from a chunkier curb or Gourmette style. That choice is worth taking your time over, because it shapes how the piece sits and feels as something you wear every day.

If you have questions about filling the pendant or caring for it, we're happy to help you think it through at your own pace.
