Description

Not everyone understands the terrific impact of the bond between pet and owner. Our animal friends ask so little of us, and give so much. Losing a pet who has walked with you along life’s hardest paths can be truly devastating. The Aura-Star Equal pendant celebrates a bond of equality between two beings who loved each other unconditionally.

The central “stone” of the Equal pendant is made from a durable resin, within which is preserved a small sample of your beloved pet’s ashes. We’ll provide you with a kit which you can use to securely provide this sample to our UK jewellers’ workshop. Here, an artisan will work to form and polish your unique piece, before setting in carefully within a sterling silver pendant. The finished piece will be delivered to your door in a stunning presentation box for safekeeping.

Each piece we create is unique, due to the hand-crafting processes involved, and we also offer customisation to make your pendant truly yours. There are many resin colours for you to choose from, and we offer the option of adding a pinch of real diamond dust to your friend’s ashes. Each pendant comes with an adjustable sterling silver chain.

Note: This pendant is Rhodium-Plated. Rhodium is one of the rarest precious metals on Earth. We use it to add a protective layer over selected sterling silver jewellery, giving the silver an extra depth of shine and protection from tarnishing. It forms an extremely hard protective barrier, making the piece far more scratch-resistant, which is also good news for those who suffer from allergies to silver or nickel.

At this most difficult time, we hope that the Equal pendant offers you a moment of warmth each time you hold it in your palm or wear it by your heart. And may the love that you held for your friend be waiting for you somewhere new.

Ordering Process

As soon as we receive your order, we’ll send you a special kit. In it, you’ll find instructions on how to safely send us a small amount of your loved one’s ashes, and packaging to keep the ashes secure on their journey. You’ll also be able to double-check and confirm your choice of colour.

The kit contains:

A small spoon to help you scoop just enough ashes.
A small labelled bag to put the ashes into.
A ring sizer (if applicable).
A form to confirm your order.
A Freepost padded envelope, to ensure a safe journey.

All you have to do is place just a tiny amount of ashes in the sealable bag, place it in the Freepost envelope with the completed order form, and post it to us. Then our artisans will start the delicate process of making your bespoke pendant.

As soon as the pendant is ready, we will send it to you by courier - together with any unused ashes.

We understand that you will be anxiously awaiting your precious piece, but please allow us 7 days to make your jewellery. However, if there is a urgent need, we do offer an express service.

Please note that as every piece we create is unique, and made by hand only for your needs, we cannot accept returns or refunds. We also recommend that all our customers keep back a small amount of ashes, in case the item is lost at a later date.

Additionally, as each piece is hand-made there may be small differences in colour and finish - that's what makes it as unique as the individual it will serve.
