Stainless steel ash pendant 'Yin Yang'

A bond that stays close to you

Some things carry meaning simply by being present. This Yin Yang ash pendant holds a small amount of ashes, a lock of hair, or a little earth from the grave, and keeps it with you as you move through the world. The symbol does the rest.

Yin Yang: what the symbol actually means here

Yin and Yang represent two opposites that belong together, each one incomplete without the other. Presence and absence. Life and what comes after. If the person you are remembering brought balance to your life, or if balance between you was simply how things were, this symbol holds that without needing a word of explanation. It is meaning you carry privately, visible only to those who already understand.

If you would like to personalise the pendant, engraving is available on the reverse, a date, an initial, or a short phrase that only you need to know is there.

316 stainless steel: why the grade matters

This pendant is made from 316-grade stainless steel, the same specification used in medical instruments and surgical implants. That choice is deliberate. Ashes are mineral-rich and can corrode ordinary metals over time. Grade 316 resists that chemical interaction, so what you place inside remains unchanged. The silver finish is clean and precise, equally at home worn every day or kept for particular moments.

Practical details worth knowing

An ash pendant raises practical questions, and they deserve a straightforward answer.

Filling, sealing and wearing

The pendant contains a small interior chamber. A detailed guide is included with the pendant, taking you through the filling and sealing process step by step. If you would prefer not to do this yourself, a funeral director or crematorium can often assist, though there is usually a charge for this service. The pendant is supplied without a chain, so you can choose one that suits you. Compatible chains are available if you would like to browse options.

Durability and day-to-day care

316 stainless steel holds up well to moisture, perspiration and daily contact. It does not discolour and requires no specialist maintenance. The seal can be secured with adhesive if you want additional peace of mind that the chamber will not open accidentally. What you place inside stays exactly as you left it.
