Stainless steel ashes pendant

Kept close

When someone you love has died, the idea of carrying a small part of their ashes with you every day can bring a kind of quiet comfort that nothing else quite offers. This stainless steel ashes pendant makes that possible, in a piece of jewellery you can wear as naturally as any other.

Surgical-grade stainless steel

The pendant is made from RVS 316 stainless steel, the same grade used in surgical instruments and high-quality watches. It does not oxidise, does not discolour, and holds its silver appearance through years of daily wear. That is not a marketing claim; it is simply what this grade of steel does. It resists sweat, moisture and the ordinary friction of being worn, which is precisely why it suits this purpose so well.

Filling the pendant and wearing it

Inside the pendant is a small sealed chamber. It can hold a pinch of ashes, a lock of hair, or a little soil from a grave. The pendant comes with a detailed, step-by-step guide that walks you through filling and sealing it carefully at home. If you would prefer not to do this yourself, a funeral director or crematorium can usually assist, though this typically carries an additional charge. Please note that the pendant is supplied without a chain.

Personalisation

If you would like to make the pendant more personal, engraving is available as an option when you order. A name, a date, or a short phrase can be added, turning the piece into something that holds meaning in two ways at once: in what it contains, and in what it says. If you are unsure what to choose, we are happy to help you think it through.

Practical things worth knowing

This is a piece you will likely wear every day, so it is worth understanding how it behaves in ordinary use.

Durability and care

RVS 316 stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and built for daily contact with skin and moisture. The pendant can get wet without damage to the metal itself. If it comes into contact with chlorinated or salt water, a brief rinse afterwards will help keep the closure mechanism in good condition over time. There are no fragile coatings or plated surfaces to protect; the material is consistent throughout.
