Stainless steel ashes pendant 'Tree of life'

When a piece of jewellery carries something more

The tree of life is one of humanity's oldest symbols: roots that hold, branches that keep growing, life that continues. If you are looking for a way to keep the memory of someone you loved close and tangible, this ash pendant brings that desire into something lasting.

Stainless steel 316: what that means in practice

This cremation jewellery is made from RVS 316 stainless steel, the grade used in medical instruments and professional jewellery manufacturing because of its exceptional resistance to corrosion. It will not discolour against skin, moisture or daily contact, and holds its silver finish year after year. The tree of life motif is worked directly into the steel with a level of detail that you notice properly only when you hold it.

A small compartment, a lasting connection

Inside the pendant sits a sealed compartment designed to hold a small portion of ashes, a lock of hair, or a little soil from the grave. You carry something of the bond you shared, every day, in a way that is entirely your own. The pendant is supplied without a chain, so you can choose one that suits you.

Practical reassurance for everyday wear

An ash pendant is something you wear, touch and take with you everywhere. The material needs to be equal to that.

What RVS 316 stainless steel offers

This grade of steel is hypoallergenic and well suited to sensitive skin. It resists perspiration, water and the ordinary wear of daily life without any risk of discolouration. The compartment closure is firm and secure, designed to prevent accidental opening during normal wear.

Filling the pendant

A step-by-step guide is included with the pendant, explaining how to fill and seal the compartment carefully. If you would prefer not to do this yourself, your funeral director or crematorium can usually assist, though there may be a charge for this service. We recommend sealing the compartment with a small amount of adhesive once filled, for complete peace of mind.

The tree of life as a personal symbol

This is not a general symbol of life. It is a reflection of the life you shared together. The roots represent everything that has been, the branches what continues to live in your memory. For someone who loved the natural world, for a parent who shaped who you are, for a pet that was always there: the symbolism of this urn for ashes pendant meets you where you are, with what you bring to it.

Personalisation options

If you would like to personalise the pendant further, with an engraved initial or a date, for example, get in touch and we can talk through what is possible. That way this piece becomes not just a keepsake, but genuinely yours.
