Stainless steel ashes pendant 'Tree of life' gold coloured

A bond you carry with you

When someone you love dies, you may not want their memory kept somewhere out of sight. You want it close, in a way that reflects who they were and what you meant to each other. This stainless steel ashes pendant, shaped as a tree of life and finished in gold, holds a small amount of ashes, a lock of hair, or a little soil from the grave. It is jewellery with purpose.

The tree of life as a personal symbol

The tree of life is not a decorative choice. It represents everything that grows through connection: roots that hold, branches that reach, a canopy that shelters. If this pendant speaks to you, it is likely because it reflects something true about the bond you shared. You will recognise that every time you wear it. That gives this piece a quiet significance even before any personalisation is added.

316 surgical-grade stainless steel

This pendant is made from RVS 316, the same grade of stainless steel used in medical implants and surgical instruments. It resists corrosion, holds its shape under daily wear, and does not discolour against the skin. The gold-coloured finish is a coating applied over this robust base material, giving the pendant a rich appearance without compromising its durability in everyday use. The pendant is supplied without a chain.

Practical details worth knowing

Filling an ashes pendant is a meaningful moment for most people, and it helps to feel properly guided through it.

Filling and sealing

A step-by-step guide is included with the pendant, explaining how to fill and seal it carefully. If you would prefer not to do this yourself, your funeral director or crematorium can usually assist, though this service typically carries a small charge. The small chamber inside the pendant can hold a portion of ashes, a lock of hair from a person or a pet, or a little earth from a grave.

Durability and care in daily wear

RVS 316 does not rust or oxidise, and it is unaffected by contact with water or perspiration. You do not need to remove the pendant when washing or in the rain. The gold coating is durable under normal conditions, but with prolonged daily wear it can show light abrasion in areas of repeated friction. If you want to preserve the finish over the long term, it is worth removing the pendant during sport or heavy manual work.

If you would like to make this pendant feel even more personal, consider choosing a chain whose colour or material connects to something your loved one always wore or was drawn to. That small detail makes it yours, and theirs.
