Gold plated ashes pendant 'Tube'

Gold that stays with you

Sometimes you want something small that holds something significant. This gold plated ashes pendant in the shape of a slender tube offers exactly that: a private place for a small amount of ashes, a lock of hair, or a little soil from the grave, kept close whenever you choose to wear it.

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

The pendant is made from 316-grade stainless steel, a material chosen for its strength and resistance to corrosion. A fine layer of gold is applied over the surface, giving the piece the rich appearance of gold at a more accessible price. The result is a pendant that looks considered and sits comfortably against the skin.

What this pendant can mean for you

The bond you shared with someone you loved, or with a pet who was part of your daily life, does not simply disappear. This small tube offers a way to give that connection a quiet, physical place. Filling it, closing it, wearing it: these become a personal ritual that belongs entirely to you.

Practical details: filling, wearing and caring for your pendant

The pendant has an internal chamber for storing ashes. When your order arrives, you will receive clear written instructions explaining how to fill and seal it. If you would prefer not to do this yourself, your crematorium or funeral director can usually assist, though there may be a charge for this. Please note that this pendant is supplied without a chain.

Keeping the pendant at its best

Gold plated jewellery requires a little more care than solid gold, but it will wear well over time if you look after it. To preserve the finish, avoid contact with moisture, body lotion, hairspray and perfume. Remove the pendant before exercise or applying creams. When you are not wearing it, store it in a small, preferably airtight, bag or pouch. An occasional gentle buff with a dry cloth will help maintain its appearance.

Discolouration over time: what to expect

Because the gold layer is fine, it is subject to gradual wear and can discolour, particularly if your skin has a lower pH, which can accelerate oxidation. Discolouration caused by surface residue, from humidity or everyday contact, can often be addressed by carefully polishing the pendant with a dry cloth. This will not restore a worn gold layer, but it will keep the piece looking its best for longer.

A choice that reflects what matters to you

If you are looking for an ashes pendant that balances meaning with affordability, this gold plated piece is worth considering. It carries the feel of something precious without the cost of solid gold, and it does the quiet job you need it to do.
