Yellow gold plated memorial necklace Heart with zirconia

A heart you carry with you

Sometimes the greatest comfort is not something that sits on a shelf, but something you wear. This yellow gold plated memorial necklace is made for those who want a quiet, daily connection to the bond they shared with someone they have lost.

Craftsmanship and material quality

The pendant is handcrafted from 925 sterling silver, meaning at least 92.5% of the material is pure silver. The remaining 7.5% is a strengthening alloy that gives the piece its durability. Every item carries a 925 hallmark, confirming it has been independently tested and meets strict quality standards for sterling silver. The heart-shaped pendant is rhodium-plated and set with brilliant-cut zirconia stones, which catch the light in a way that feels considered rather than showy.

Why rhodium plating matters

Rhodium belongs to the platinum group of metals and is harder than silver itself. Untreated silver can dull and oxidise over time. The rhodium layer applied to this pendant keeps it bright considerably longer and protects it from oxidation. For jewellery worn every day, that is not a small detail. It is a deliberate choice that extends the life and appearance of the piece through years of daily wear.

Present on the days you need it most

The heart is one of the oldest symbols of connection. Worn close, this pendant carries that meaning in a way that feels personal rather than decorative. If you are looking for something that acknowledges your loss without requiring explanation to anyone else, this piece does exactly that. It is simply present, in the moments when that matters.

Caring for your memorial necklace

Sterling silver jewellery worn daily benefits from a little care. Store this pendant dry and separately from other pieces to avoid surface scratches. The rhodium plating offers solid protection, but with intensive wear, a jeweller can re-plate the surface periodically. This is a straightforward process and keeps the necklace in excellent condition for the long term.

Please note

This memorial necklace is not designed to hold cremated remains. It is a memorial piece only, intended to be worn as a tribute to someone you love.
