A pet memorial necklace can hold a small keepsake or simply carry a design that reminds you of your pet. Before choosing a shape or color, decide what you want to keep inside, if anything. A few strands of fur, a small amount of ashes and a saved tooth each raise different questions about space and fit.
This guide explains what to check before ordering, then compares three EKGT necklace designs using their listed dimensions and materials.
Start with the keepsake you want to carry
For fur or hair
If you have saved a little fur, check that the pendant has an accessible compartment intended for keepsakes. Look for a clear view of the opening as well as the outside of the pendant. Do not assume that a wide pendant has an equally wide space inside.
For ashes
Choose a necklace specifically described as suitable for ashes. Pet cremation jewelry may hold ashes in a compartment or incorporate them into a finished piece, so check how the particular necklace works. For a fillable design, ask about the opening, capacity and closing instructions before handling the keepsake.
For a saved tooth
A tooth needs to fit through the opening as well as inside the pendant. The necklace’s outer height and width cannot confirm that. Measure the tooth and ask for the usable opening and internal dimensions before ordering; do not force it into a space that is too small.
You can also choose a memorial necklace for its design and leave the compartment empty. Keeping something inside is a personal choice.
Check the opening and closure
Before filling a pendant, identify exactly where it opens and how it closes. Ask for the instructions for that design rather than relying on a similar-looking necklace. If a closure does not line up or close properly, stop and ask for help instead of forcing it.
Check whether filling tools are included. Product photographs may show accessories for illustration, so look for a written list of what comes with the order. Use adhesive only if the instructions for that specific pendant call for it; do not assume every closure needs glue.
Compare pendant size and chain length separately
A close-up product photograph can make a small pendant look much larger. Draw the listed outline on paper and hold it where you would wear it. This is a simple way to compare a round, bone-shaped or taller pendant before ordering.
Check the chain length separately from the pendant size. You can compare it with a necklace you already wear, or use a piece of string of the same length. Where it sits will depend on your neck size and the clothes you wear. If the chain length, adjustability or included chain is not stated, ask before buying.
Three EKGT pet memorial necklace designs to compare
A round pendant with double-heart detail
The Pet Fur Keepsake Necklace with Double Heart Detail has a round pendant with two decorative hearts. The whole pendant is round, rather than heart-shaped.
- Material and finish: stainless steel with an electroplated finish.
- Pendant diameter: 2.5 cm.
- Chain length: 50 cm.
- Color options: Gold and Silver.
Consider this design if you prefer a circular outline and heart detail. Its outside diameter is not a measurement of the keepsake compartment. Photo, name and date customization are not offered for this model.
A tree of life pendant with cat detail
The Tree of Life Pet Ashes Necklace with Cat Detail combines a tree of life design with a cat detail.
- Material and finish: stainless steel with an electroplated finish.
- Pendant height: 3.3 cm; width: 2.28 cm.
- Color options: Black, Gold, Rose Gold and Silver.
This is the taller of the three pendants compared here. If the cat detail is what draws you to it, compare the pendant outline with a necklace you already own and confirm the chain length before ordering.
A bone-shaped pendant with a paw print
The Bone-Shaped Pet Ashes Necklace with Paw Print uses a bone outline and a paw-print detail.
- Material and finish: polished stainless steel.
- Listed pendant dimensions: 25 × 22 mm.
- Chain length: 50 cm.
Choose the outline you would feel comfortable wearing. The stated dimensions help you judge its appearance; they do not establish how much the internal compartment can hold.
Read the material and care details
Gold and Silver in a color selector describe the available appearance; they do not by themselves mean solid gold or sterling silver. For the designs above, the listed base material is stainless steel. Check the stated finish as well as the color name.
As a cautious care routine, remove the necklace before showering, swimming or applying perfume. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and store it separately from items that could scratch it. Follow any care instructions supplied for your particular piece.
Do not assume a keepsake pendant is waterproof or hypoallergenic unless the seller provides a specific, supported statement for that model.
Questions before you order
Can any pet memorial necklace hold fur, ashes or a tooth?
No. Some necklaces are decorative, and fillable designs have different openings and internal spaces. Confirm that the model is suitable for the keepsake you want to carry. A saved tooth needs a fit check even when the pendant is described as a keepsake necklace.
Does a larger pendant hold more?
Not necessarily. The outside dimensions describe the pendant’s overall size. Ask for its usable internal space or stated capacity if that affects your choice.
Are a chain, filling tools and a gift box included?
Check the written contents for the exact model. Do not treat a styled photograph as a packing list. If a tool or gift box matters to you, confirm it before placing the order.
Is a memorial necklace a suitable gift?
If you are choosing for someone else, ask whether they would like a necklace and whether they want a fillable design. You can let them choose the style and decide privately whether to place a keepsake inside.
Before placing your order, check four things: the keepsake the necklace is designed for, the usable opening, the pendant dimensions and the chain length. Then choose the design you would want to wear.
