Gold plated ashes pendant 'Star'

A star that stays close

Some people leave a space behind that nothing else can fill. What remains is the connection: the memories, the love, the wish to keep someone near. This gold plated ashes pendant, shaped as a star, gives that bond a tangible form you can carry with you every day.

Gold plated stainless steel: the look of gold, the strength of steel

The pendant is made from grade 316 stainless steel, one of the most durable alloys used in jewelry making. A fine layer of gold plating is applied over the surface, giving the piece the rich appearance of gold at a more accessible price. The star is not an arbitrary shape. Across many cultures and traditions, the star has long been associated with those who are no longer here but remain present in their own way. For you, that meaning can be very specific: the person you miss, always near, visible whenever you glance down.

A small space for ashes, hair or earth

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. The pendant comes with a step-by-step guide explaining how to fill and seal it. If you would prefer not to do this yourself, your crematorium or funeral director can usually take care of it, though there is typically a charge for this service. Please note that the pendant is supplied without a chain.

What you should know about gold plated jewelry

Gold plated pieces need a little more care than solid gold, and it is worth being clear about that from the start. The gold layer is fine and can be affected by moisture, acids and everyday contact with skin products. People with a lower skin pH sometimes find that the plating shows signs of oxidation more quickly. This is not a defect; it simply means the pendant benefits from a degree of care.

How to keep your ashes pendant looking its best

• Keep the pendant away from moisture, body lotion, hairspray and perfume
• Remove it before exercise, and apply any creams or products before putting it on
• Store it in a small airtight pouch or bag when not being worn
• Buff it occasionally with a dry cloth to remove any dullness caused by contact with air or damp conditions

With a little care, the pendant will hold its golden finish for as long as possible, and with it, the meaning it carries.

A choice that belongs to you

You are not simply choosing a piece of jewelry. You are choosing something that connects you to a person you do not want to lose sight of. This ashes pendant offers that in a form that is both simple and considered. If you have questions about filling, storing or wearing it, we are happy to think it through with you at your own pace.
