This is one of our most beautiful cremation pendants. It measures about 34mm or one and 5/16 inch tall and the width is about 8mm (about 5/16 inch). The back and sides are flat and can be engraved, although we do not offer this service ourselves. Most of your local jewelry stores will offer this service for a small fee. We offer a large variety of pendant urns to choose from, so feel free to browse around in our store to make sure you select your favorite. Keep in mind that if you are using your own chain, it goes directly THROUGH this pendant, and the hole measures barely 3mm in diameter, so anything that passes through there must be smaller than that.
The pendant can be filled using tweezers 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 "door" on the bottom of the pendant using a tiny flathead screwdriver. 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. With tweezers, just pinch a small amount of ash and then place it into the opening. 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.
NOTE: The pendant is NOT hollow; rather, there is a tiny chamber right under the screw, so only a small amount of ashes are needed. If you need a pendant that holds more, this is not the right style for you. Please check out the pendants in our store with the words LARGE VIAL in the title - they hold quite a bit more.
Stainless steel is extremely durable and can be worn even during bathing. This includes the necklace 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.
**If you need more than the quantity we have listed of this pendant, just send us a message!!**
We also offer a discount on bulk orders starting at a minimum number of 10 items. You can mix and match from any items in our store to meet the 10 items minimum.
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.
Thank You for Your Support!!

Here is the story of the Rainbow Bridge:
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
