14 carat yellow gold memorial pendant 'Open cross'

A cross that carries what words cannot

Sometimes you are not looking for an urn. You are looking for something you can wear, something that holds meaning quietly and stays close to you through ordinary days. This open-work cross pendant in 14 carat yellow gold is made for exactly that.

Handcrafted in 14 carat yellow gold

Each pendant is made by hand, which means every piece receives individual attention from start to finish. The open-work design, with radiating detail at the centre, requires precise technique, and that precision shows in the finished piece. The 14 carat yellow gold gives the pendant a rich, lasting colour and a weight that feels considered. The reverse is flat and smooth, so it sits comfortably against the skin.

What the cross means here

The cross is one of the oldest symbols of connection and passage. The open structure, light passing through the centre rather than being blocked by it, gives that symbolism a concrete, physical form. Wearing this pendant is a way of making visible the bond you shared, every day, in your own way. It asks nothing of you, and it says everything you need it to.

Practical care for this pendant

Gold is a material that rewards careful handling. Here is what is worth knowing before you wear this piece daily.

How to care for 14 carat yellow gold

14 carat yellow gold is durable, but it does react to certain substances. Chlorine, perfume and soap residue can all affect the surface over time. Remove the pendant before swimming or exercising, and store it dry, away from other jewellery, to prevent scratching. With everyday wear, occasional cleaning by a goldsmith will keep it looking its best.

Important: this pendant does not hold ashes

Please note: this memorial pendant is not designed to hold cremated remains. It carries meaning as a piece of jewellery, not as a cremation urn or keepsake urn for ashes. If you are looking for a memorial piece that does hold a small portion of ashes, we have other options available and are happy to help you find the right one.

A piece that fits your everyday life

If you are looking for a memorial pendant that is considered rather than conspicuous, this cross is worth your attention. It is compact enough for daily wear and distinctive enough to carry real meaning. There is no need to rush the decision. Take the time you need, look at it carefully, and if you would like to talk through the options, we are here to help at whatever pace suits you.
