Stainless steel ashes pendant 'Little hammer'

Small in size, significant in meaning

A hammer is not a random shape. It speaks to someone who built things, who worked with their hands, who showed up when something needed doing. If you are looking for a way to keep that memory close, this ashes pendant does something a general piece of jewellery cannot: it points directly to who that person was.

Crafted in surgical-grade stainless steel

The 'Little hammer' ashes pendant is made from grade 316 stainless steel, the same specification used in medical instruments for its exceptional resistance to corrosion and daily wear. It holds its colour and surface finish through years of contact with skin, moisture and everyday life. Inside the pendant sits a small chamber, sized to hold a portion of ashes, a lock of hair, or a little soil from the grave. It is a quiet way to carry the bond you shared.

Filling and sealing the pendant

A detailed step-by-step guide is included with the pendant, walking you through how to fill and seal it carefully at home. If you would prefer not to do this yourself, your funeral director or crematorium can usually assist, though this may involve an additional charge. The pendant is supplied without a chain, so you are free to choose one that suits you.

Durability you can rely on

When a piece of jewellery carries this kind of meaning, it matters that the material will last. Grade 316 stainless steel is one of the most resilient options available for everyday wear.

What to expect from grade 316 stainless steel

This grade of stainless steel resists moisture, perspiration and prolonged contact with skin. It will not discolour or degrade under normal conditions, and it requires no special treatment to maintain its silver finish. Two practical points worth knowing: avoid submerging the pendant while it is unsealed, and if you do use adhesive to seal it, allow it to cure fully before wearing. Beyond that, this is a pendant you can wear every day without concern for the condition of the material over time.

A pendant that reflects who they were

The 'Little hammer' has a character of its own. Whether the person you are remembering built for a living, was always the first to pick up a tool, or simply had that quiet, capable presence that got things done, this pendant acknowledges that. It is recognisable not just to you but to anyone who knew them, which makes it something more than a memorial keepsake.

Personalisation options

If you would like to make the pendant more personal, engraving is available. A name, a date or a short phrase can be added. Sometimes a single word says more than a longer inscription ever could.
