This is one of our largest cremation pendants. It measures about 49mm or one and 15/16 inch tall from the tip of the loop that holds the necklace to the bottom. The width is about 11mm (about 1/2 inch). This pendant is designed to hold ashes and is also large enough to hold a few strands of fur (long hair would need to be folded). It is also large enough to hold a touch of ashes from multiple pets that have passed away over time. We have a smaller cylinder in our store if you would prefer something more delicate and feminine, as well as a number of heart-shaped ones, and more. Some women prefer this more rugged style, too! Please feel free to browse around our store to make sure you select the one that is right for you.
The pendant can be filled using a small scoop or a tiny funnel. If you do not have a funnel, you can make one out of a sheet of paper, and it will work just fine. First, unscrew the cap on the bottom of the pendant. Place the tip of the funnel into the hole of the chamber. Add a small bit of ashes to the funnel, and carefully tap the funnel until the chamber is filled. A toothpick can be used to guide the ashes, if needed. Be sure to screw the cap back on tightly (but be careful not to over-tighten). Then, the pendant can be worn next to your heart at all times. To form a permanent seal, you can use a touch of metal-to-metal adhesive. Some people prefer them to remain able to open to scatter the ashes in meaningful places, and then be refilled back at home.
Stainless steel is extremely durable and can be worn even during bathing. This includes the chain, which will not rust, tarnish, or discolor no matter how many times you get it wet. Again, if you are going to be wearing it or using it as a key chain, be sure to seal it with a touch of superglue. Jostling can cause unsealed pendants to open unexpectedly and spill ashes. You can clean the pendant with rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth. It will not damage any part of the pendant.
The pendant will come sealed in a tiny plastic zip-loc bag, with a little card with information about RescueArtWorks! A portion of the proceeds goes directly towards helping homeless animals find their way to new loving homes. It's a great way to honor your own dog or cat's life.
If this is for a gift, we are more than happy to send it to your recipient and can write a pretty little note for you, if you leave us a message letting us know how you want it to read. We also can tastefully gift wrap it in some colorful tissue paper if you request it (it's free!) Just please leave a detailed note with payment so that we understand exactly how you would like it.

Buyers will receive one pendant urn sealed in a little plastic zip-loc bag, which will be mailed in a small padded mailing envelope. Items are mailed through the United States Postal Service, using First Class shipping, and normally arrive within a week after purchase within the US, but this is NOT a guarantee!! Unfortunately, we cannot be responsible for delays caused by the USPS, and they do happen from time to time. International shipping takes longer, of course. Canadian orders take 1-2 weeks on average and overseas orders are usually 3-4 weeks. Every now and again a package will get held up in customs and take longer. We have no explanation for the variance, nor any control over it, so please do not order if you need it by a certain deadline, unless you are willing to upgrade to USPS Priority or Priority Express shipping (USA only).
We also offer a variety of Sterling Silver plated charms for pet and rescue lovers, including one that says "Pets leave paw prints on our hearts" and another that says simply "Always in My Heart." We sell all of our charms by themselves, on .925 Sterling Silver necklaces, and on charm bracelets and bangles. We also sell the popular Living Lockets with pet-themed floating charms. Feel free to browse around our store for yourself or for gifts. A portion of every purchase goes directly to local, non-profit pet rescues to provide food, medical care, vaccines, and spay/neuter services for adoptable dogs and cats.
We truly understand the pain of losing a loved one - pets are family members, too! We hope this pendant urn offers you or your loved one some comfort during this difficult time.
