Silver memorial necklace Teardrop with zirconia

A small thing to carry with you

Sometimes it is not a grand gesture that brings comfort, but something quiet and tangible that stays close. This silver teardrop pendant is made for those who have lost someone and want to carry that loss in a way that feels true to who they were.

Handcrafted in hallmarked 925 sterling silver

The pendant is made by hand from 925 sterling silver, meaning 92.5% of the piece is pure silver, with the remaining 7.5% an alloy added for strength and durability. Every pendant carries a 925 hallmark, confirming that the silver has been independently tested and meets strict quality standards. Handwork demands precision and patience, and you can see it in the finish of each piece. At the centre of the teardrop sits a brilliant-cut zirconia, catching the light with a clarity that is understated but unmistakable.

Rhodium plating and what it means for lasting wear

Sterling silver can oxidise over time, losing its brightness. To prevent this, each pendant is rhodium-plated: a fine layer of rhodium, a hard precious metal from the platinum family with a cool silver-white lustre, is bonded to the surface. This layer actively protects the silver from oxidation and keeps the pendant looking bright through everyday wear. It is a piece made to last, and to continue looking exactly as it did the day you chose it.

The teardrop, and what it holds

The teardrop has long been associated with continuity. Something that falls, but remains. If you are looking for a piece of jewellery that reflects the bond you shared, this form carries that meaning quietly. The zirconia catches the light in the way a memory sometimes surfaces: sudden, clear, and entirely present.

Please note: this pendant does not hold ashes

This memorial necklace is a remembrance piece only. It is not designed to hold cremated remains. If you are looking for a cremation urn or an urn for ashes, this pendant is a separate category of memorial item entirely.

Everyday wear and care

Because the silver is rhodium-plated, this pendant does not need the careful handling that ordinary silver jewellery requires. The rhodium layer offers a level of protection that unplated silver cannot match. To keep it at its best, store the pendant dry and separately from other jewellery, which helps protect the zirconia from surface scratches over time.

A choice made at your own pace

This pendant is a tangible reminder of someone whose presence you carry with you. Take the time you need before deciding. If you would like to talk through the options or have any questions about the piece, we are happy to help whenever you are ready.
