Stainless steel ashes pendant 'Teardrop'

She is not gone, just present in a different way

A small amount of ashes, a lock of hair, or a little earth from the grave, kept close in something you wear every day. That is not a symbolic gesture. It is a choice to keep the bond you shared tangible, in a way that fits who you are.

Teardrop form in high-grade stainless steel

The teardrop shape is deliberate. It speaks to grief, yes, but also to what grief holds within it: the releasing and the holding on, both at once. Cast in silver-toned stainless steel (grade 316), this ashes pendant has a clean, considered line that suits any occasion. RVS 316 is an alloy chosen by jewellers for its resistance to perspiration, moisture and daily wear, so the pendant keeps its finish with no special attention required.

How to fill the pendant

Inside the pendant is a small chamber designed to hold ashes, a lock of hair, or a little soil from the grave. When your order arrives, it includes a step-by-step guide to filling and sealing the pendant yourself. If you would prefer not to do this, your funeral director or crematorium can usually assist, though this service may carry an additional charge. Please note that this pendant is supplied without a necklace chain.

Wearing it every day: practical reassurance

Grade 316 stainless steel is used throughout the jewellery industry because of its high corrosion resistance and hypoallergenic properties. You do not need to worry about discolouration or surface wear under normal conditions. Cleaning is straightforward: rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry. To preserve the finish over time, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when storing the pendant.

Your own meaning

The teardrop is finished in silver and its understated form leaves space for your own significance. Perhaps you are wearing it for her, for him, or for a companion animal who was part of your life for years. No engraving is needed to make that meaning real, though if you would like to add a name or a date, a local jeweller or your funeral director may be able to help you explore that option.
