Stainless steel ashes pendant 'Heart'

Close to the person you carry with you

A small brushed stainless steel heart, shaped to be worn every day. If you are looking for a way to keep a tangible connection with someone you have lost, this ashes pendant offers exactly that: something quiet, personal and always present.

316 stainless steel: a material that lasts

This ashes pendant is made from 316-grade stainless steel, the same specification used in medical instruments because of its resistance to corrosion and its lasting durability. This is a material standard, not a marketing description. The steel will not tarnish, will not oxidise, and holds its brushed silver finish through daily wear. The heart shape is precise enough to sit well against the skin and robust enough to live with.

Filling the pendant

Inside the pendant is a small sealed chamber. It can hold a pinch of ashes, a lock of hair or a little soil from the grave. A step-by-step guide is included with the pendant to help you fill and close it yourself. If you would prefer not to do this alone, your funeral director or crematorium can usually assist, though there may be a charge for this. The pendant is supplied without a chain, so you are free to choose one that suits you.

Why the heart shape holds meaning

The heart is where you carry someone. Not as a metaphor you reach for once, but as a felt sense that stays with you. Wearing that shape every day is a personal choice, and it does not need explaining to anyone. Consider pairing the pendant with a chain of a length that sits close to your own heart. That is not a coincidence; it is a deliberate choice, and it is what turns a piece of jewellery into something that belongs to you.

Practical information: wear, care and closing

316 stainless steel resists moisture, perspiration and daily skin contact, so you do not need to remove this pendant when washing or exercising. Before you wear it for the first time after filling, check the closure carefully to make sure the contents are secure. To clean the pendant, a soft cloth is all you need. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can mark the brushed surface.

What to know before you fill it

Follow the step-by-step guide included with the pendant. If you would rather have someone assist you, your funeral director or crematorium can help, though this is usually chargeable. Once the pendant is filled, always check the closure before wearing it. The pendant is supplied without a chain.
