Memorial Pendants vs Memorial Rings: Which Keepsake Is Right for You?

Memorial jewellery can be deeply personal, and one of the first choices is whether to choose a ring or a pendant. Both can hold ashes and both can become meaningful everyday keepsakes, but they feel different to wear.

Why choose a memorial ring?

A memorial ring keeps the tribute close to your hand and can become part of daily life. Rings are a strong choice if you want a keepsake you can see and touch often.

Why choose a memorial pendant?

A pendant sits close to the heart and can be easier to wear for people who do not normally wear rings. Pendants can also be a good choice if sizing is a concern.

Popular options include the birthstone ashes pendant, small heart ashes locket and small cross ashes pendant.

Which should you choose?

Choose a ring if you want the piece visible on the hand. Choose a pendant if you want something close to the heart, simple to wear and easy to layer with other jewellery.
