Remembrance Necklaces
Remembrance necklaces keep someone you love close — a photograph hidden inside a locket, an image set within a projection pendant, or a name and date engraved in 925 sterling silver. Every piece in this collection is made to order with the details you provide, with designs from $68.90.
Locket or Projection Pendant: Which Remembrance Style?
The two main choices in this collection handle a photograph very differently. A photo locket opens to reveal the picture inside — a deliberate, private ritual you control. A projection pendant keeps the image hidden within the necklace itself; it looks like a classic cross or heart pendant until you look into it, which suits anyone who wants the memory carried invisibly. Lockets here include heart and angel wings designs from $111.90, while projection pendants start at $68.90.
Adding the Photo and the Words
Each piece is made to order in 925 sterling silver with the details you provide — upload your chosen photograph on the product page and add engraving where the design allows it. Names, dates and short phrases all work; many people choose the person's name with their years, or a line in their own words. Take a moment over the photo: clear, well-lit images with the face filling the frame reproduce best. For practical help, see our step-by-step guide on how to put a photo in a locket.
Giving Remembrance Jewellery as a Sympathy Gift
A remembrance necklace given after a loss says what a card can't. There's no required timing — some give one in the first weeks, others wait for a birthday or the anniversary of the person remembered. Because every piece is made to order with typical delivery of 7–12 working days, it can also arrive as a thoughtful second gesture once the initial flowers and cards have gone quiet. Personalised pieces are final sale, so confirm spellings and dates with another family member if you can.
Wearing and Caring for a Daily Keepsake
Pieces worn this often deserve small habits: take the necklace off before showering and swimming, wipe the silver with a soft cloth, and store it dry overnight. Keep lockets and projection stones away from perfume and hairspray, which can cloud surfaces over time.

Frequently asked questions
What is a remembrance necklace?
A remembrance necklace is a personalised piece worn in memory of someone — usually a locket holding their photograph, a projection pendant with a hidden image, or a pendant engraved with a name and dates. Each one here is made to order in 925 sterling silver.
What's the difference between a photo locket and a projection necklace?
A locket opens, with the printed photo physically inside, so the picture can be seen whenever you choose. A projection pendant hides the image within the necklace itself — invisible day to day and revealed when you look into it against the light.
What kind of photo works best?
A clear, well-lit photograph where the face fills most of the frame. Avoid blurry or heavily filtered images — what you upload is what the finished locket or projection stone will carry.
What words should I engrave on a memorial necklace?
The person's name with their years is the most common choice. Short personal phrases work beautifully too — a nickname, a sign-off they always used, or a line in your own words. Keep it brief so the lettering stays clear.
Is a remembrance necklace an appropriate sympathy gift?
Yes — and there's no required timing. Some give one in the first weeks after a loss; others wait for a birthday or anniversary. Since each piece is made to order, allow 7–12 working days for delivery.
Can I return a remembrance necklace?
Pieces personalised with a photo or engraving are final sale, as they're made specifically for you. Double-check spellings, dates and the photo with another family member if possible before confirming the order.
