Each urn pendant features a discreet threaded screw closure, typically integrated into the top bail. Unscrewing the bail reveals a hollow inner chamber. A minute portion of ashes, crushed ceremonial petals, or sacred earth can be placed inside using a miniature funnel before screwing the bail back firmly into place.
What does the luna moth represent on a memorial pendant?

What is the meaning of Mors Certa on a memento mori ring?

Can memorial urn necklaces be worn daily?
Yes. Cast in 925 sterling silver, these pendants are made for regular wear. The threaded screw closure keeps the contents protected during normal daily movement, and the compact chamber sits flat against the chest, so the piece reads as everyday jewelry rather than an obvious memorial.
