Gold plated ashes pendant 'Heart'

The gold that stays with you

After a loss, you look for something close. Something you can feel every day without having to explain it to anyone. This gold plated heart pendant in stainless steel is exactly that: small, recognisable, and worn for a reason only you need to know.

Gold plated stainless steel: the look of gold, built to last

The pendant is made from 316-grade stainless steel, a quality alloy chosen for its strength and long-term durability. A fine layer of gold plating is applied over the surface, giving you the appearance of gold at a fraction of the cost. The heart shape needs no introduction as a symbol of connection and love. Worn against your body, it refers directly to the bond you shared, visible and present in a way that feels entirely your own.

Inside the pendant is a small chamber designed to hold a little ash, a lock of hair, or a pinch of soil from the grave. A step-by-step guide is included to walk you through filling and closing the pendant. If you would prefer not to do this yourself, a crematorium or funeral director can usually assist, though this typically carries a small charge. Please note that the pendant is supplied without a chain.

What's worth knowing before you wear it

Gold plated jewellery asks a little more care than solid gold, but with a few simple habits it will last for many years. Think of it less as maintenance and more as looking after something that matters.

Keeping the pendant in good condition

The gold layer is sensitive to moisture, acids and chemical substances, including those found in everyday products such as perfume, creams and hairspray. Some people naturally have a lower skin pH, which can accelerate oxidation and cause discolouration to appear sooner. This is not a fault in the product; it is simply how gold plating behaves, and it is easy to work around. A few habits make a real difference:

• Remove the pendant before swimming, showering or exercising
• Apply creams, perfume and hairspray before putting the pendant on
• Store it in an airtight pouch when you are not wearing it
• Wipe it occasionally with a dry, soft cloth

If discolouration does appear, it is usually a light surface film caused by moisture. In most cases, a dry cloth is enough to restore it.

Worn with purpose

You are not choosing this ashes pendant simply because it looks right, though it does. You are choosing it because it holds something that cannot be replaced. The heart shape says what words sometimes cannot, on ordinary days as much as difficult ones.

If you would like to personalise the pendant, perhaps with an initial or a date that carries meaning, get in touch and we will look at the options together.
