Stainless steel ashes pendant 'Footprint'

What remains, you carry closest

A footprint is the most personal mark someone leaves behind. Small, unmistakable, entirely theirs. This ashes pendant holds a small portion of ash, a lock of hair, or a little earth from the grave, close to you every day.

Crafted from surgical-grade stainless steel

This cremation pendant is made from RVS 316, commonly known as surgical-grade stainless steel. The grade matters: RVS 316 contains molybdenum, which gives it significantly greater resistance to corrosion than standard stainless steel. It does not discolour, does not react to skin contact, and keeps its silver finish without any maintenance. That makes it well suited to daily wear, including for people with sensitive skin.

How to fill the pendant

Inside the pendant is a small chamber designed to hold ash or another memorial keepsake. A step-by-step guide is included to help you fill and seal it yourself at home. If you would prefer not to do this yourself, a funeral director or crematorium can usually do it for you, though this will typically involve an additional charge. Please note that this urn for ashes pendant is supplied without a chain.

A footprint as a lasting symbol

A footprint speaks to presence. Not in the abstract, but physically: someone was here, stood here, walked here. That trace remains, even when the person does not. It is a quiet but precise way to carry the bond you shared. If you would like to add a name, a date, or a short phrase, engraving is available and can be requested at the time of ordering. It is that detail which turns a beautifully made piece of steel into something that belongs to you both.

Practical care and durability

RVS 316 is scratch-resistant and holds its shape well under everyday handling. You do not need to remove this pendant before showering or washing, as the material is fully moisture-resistant and will not degrade with regular contact with water. When you do take it off, store it separately from jewellery in other metals to avoid surface scratching over time.

A note on wearing ashes jewellery

Keeping a small amount of ash, a lock of hair, or a little grave earth in a pendant has become a meaningful choice for many people after the loss of someone they loved, or a pet. For a good number of people, wearing something like this brings a steadiness during grief and afterwards that is difficult to put into words but easy to understand.
