Stainless steel ash pendant 'Anchor'

An anchor to hold you steady

An anchor holds fast what might otherwise drift away. If you are looking for something to keep a person close in everyday life, this ash pendant offers exactly that. It carries a small amount of cremated remains, a lock of hair, or a little soil from the grave, and with it the bond you shared.

Crafted in grade 316 stainless steel

This ash pendant is made from RVS 316 stainless steel, a grade chosen for its resilience in daily wear. It resists perspiration, water and discolouration, so the pendant looks the same years from now as it does on the day you first wear it. The anchor shape is carefully resolved: the profile is recognisable, the finish is clean, and the closure is secure so that what you place inside stays safely held.

What the anchor means

The anchor has carried the same meaning for centuries: steadiness and hope when the ground feels uncertain. For someone who loved the sea, water or travel, it connects directly to who they were. But even without that personal association, an anchor says something true about what you are doing. You are holding on. To the memory, to everything that person was, to the bond you built together.

Filling the pendant

Inside the pendant is a small chamber for cremated remains or another personal keepsake. A step-by-step guide is included, explaining how to fill and seal the pendant at home. If you would prefer not to do this yourself, your funeral director or crematorium can usually help, though they may charge for the service. The pendant is supplied without a chain.

Practical considerations for everyday wear

Grade 316 stainless steel does not rust, oxidise or tarnish, and it is fully suited to prolonged contact with skin. This is a material used in medical and marine applications precisely because of that durability. You do not need to treat it, store it separately or handle it with particular care. It is made to be worn. If you choose to seal the pendant permanently after filling, a small amount of adhesive applied to the closure will hold it securely over time.

A choice that reflects who they were

If you want what you wear to say something real about the person you are remembering, the anchor is a considered choice. It is a piece of jewellery that carries meaning without needing to be explained to anyone who did not know them, and everything to you.
