Silver memorial necklace Heart with zirconia

A heart that holds what words cannot

Sometimes you want to keep a memory close, visible but understated. This sterling silver memorial necklace, shaped as a heart and set with a brilliant-cut zirconia, offers exactly that: a considered piece of jewellery you can wear every day as a quiet mark of the bond you shared.

Crafted in 925 sterling silver

The pendant is hand-crafted from high-quality 925 sterling silver, meaning the piece contains at least 92.5% pure silver. The remaining 7.5% is a strengthening alloy that gives the pendant its durability. Every piece carries a 925 hallmark, confirming it has been tested against strict quality standards. The zirconia is brilliant-cut, a technique that maximises light refraction and gives the heart its clear, refined sparkle. That level of finish takes precision, and you can see it in the result.

Why rhodium plating matters

The pendant is rhodium-plated: a fine layer of rhodium is bonded to the surface of the silver. Rhodium belongs to the platinum group of metals and is exceptionally hard and resistant to wear. Its silver-white colour sits closest to white gold in appearance. Untreated silver can oxidise over time and lose its brightness. Rhodium plating holds the colour and lustre considerably longer and actively protects the silver beneath. You are choosing quality that endures, not only symbolism.

What it means to wear it

The heart is one of the most direct symbols we have for human connection. Not as decoration, but as a recognisable sign of someone who mattered to you. Paired with the measured brilliance of the zirconia, this piece has a quiet presence. It says something every day without requiring any explanation from you.

Practical care for daily wear

The necklace comes on a chain and is suitable for everyday wear. The rhodium layer protects the silver against discolouration and ordinary wear. To prolong its life, store the piece dry and separately from other jewellery. Avoid contact with perfume, chlorine and cosmetics, as these can affect the finish over time.

Please note: this memorial necklace is not designed to hold cremated remains. It is a memorial jewellery piece, not a cremation urn or urn for ashes.
