Yellow gold plated memorial necklace Heart made from silver

A heart that holds the bond you shared

Sometimes it is the smallest thing that carries the most weight. This yellow gold plated silver heart necklace is not a grand gesture. It is a quiet, daily way of keeping close what you are not ready to let go.

Handcrafted from 925 sterling silver with a gold plated finish

This piece of memorial jewellery is made by hand from 925 sterling silver. That hallmark is a precise standard: a minimum of 92.5% pure silver, combined with an alloy that gives the piece its strength and durability. Every item carries a stamped 925 mark, confirming it has been tested and meets strict quality requirements. The gold plated finish gives the heart a gentle golden tone that feels considered rather than showy.

What rhodium plating and gold plating do for this piece

Silver naturally tends to oxidise and lose its lustre over time. To counter this, the silver pieces in this range are rhodium plated, meaning a fine layer of rhodium, a hard precious metal from the platinum family with a bright silver-white finish, is bonded to the surface. This protects the silver from oxidation and helps the piece stay looking its best over the long term. The gold plated top layer on this particular heart adds a golden colour that complements the shape and gives it its distinctive finish.

Worn close, visible when you choose

If you are looking for something you can wear every day but share only when you want to, this heart sits comfortably in that space. Understated enough for daily wear, and meaningful enough that you feel it each time your hand finds it. The heart is perhaps the most direct symbol there is for what you felt for someone. Not because it is a cliché, but because it holds up: people recognised that shape for a reason, and it has carried that meaning ever since.

Please note: this necklace does not hold ashes

This memorial necklace is not designed to hold cremated remains. If you are looking for a piece of jewellery that can carry a small portion of ashes, we have other options available and are happy to help you find the right one.

Caring for your silver jewellery

Silver responds to moisture, perfume and the natural acids in skin. To protect the finish, put the necklace on after applying any fragrance or moisturiser, and store it somewhere dry when you are not wearing it. Kept this way, it should hold its appearance for many years.

Take the time you need to decide. There is no rush, only your own judgement about what feels right.
