Gold plated ashes pendant 'Cross'

Gold that stays close when words fall short

A cross is one of the oldest symbols of connection, between this life and what follows, and between two people whose lives were woven together. If you are looking for something to carry every day that holds both meaning and memory, this ashes pendant offers exactly that. Not decorative, but personal.

Gold-plated stainless steel: the look of gold, built to last

This ashes pendant is made from surgical-grade 316 stainless steel, the same specification used in medical and marine applications for its exceptional resistance to corrosion. A fine layer of gold plating gives it the appearance of gold jewelry at a more accessible price. The base is stable and durable. The gold layer, like all plating, asks for a little care to keep its finish.

The cross as a personal symbol

For many people, a cross speaks of faith. For others, it marks the point where two lives met and shaped each other. Both readings are valid, and both hold meaning here. The pendant is supplied without a chain, so you can choose a necklace that suits your own style completely. A fine belcher, a delicate rope, a chain you already own: the choice is yours.

What you should know before wearing it every day

Gold-plated jewelry rewards a little attention. Knowing this before you buy means there are no surprises later, and the pendant stays looking its best for longer.

Keeping the gold finish in good condition

The gold layer is sensitive to moisture, friction and acidic contact. People with naturally lower skin pH sometimes notice faster discoloration; this is a physiological variation, not a fault in the piece. A little discoloration from humidity or everyday wear can often be buffed away with a dry cloth. To protect the finish over time, remove the pendant before swimming, exercise or applying body lotion, perfume or hairspray, store it in a small airtight pouch when not wearing it, and polish it occasionally with a dry, soft cloth.

Filling and sealing the pendant

Inside the pendant is a small chamber designed to hold a portion of ashes, a lock of hair or a little soil from the grave. A full guide on filling and sealing is included with the pendant. If you would prefer not to fill it yourself, most crematoria and funeral directors are able to assist, though they may charge a small fee for this service. This pendant is supplied without a chain.

Carrying a small amount of ashes in an ashes pendant or memorial jewelry piece has become an important source of comfort for many people following a cremation or burial. If that sense of nearness matters to you, this gold-plated cross is a considered, well-made choice with the quiet presence you are looking for.
