Alba Dogtag 10K

Steel underneath a gold finish makes this dogtag more resistant to knocks than a solid gold pendant of the same shape, which is worth knowing if it will be worn under a work shirt every day. The form is the classic military tag: rounded corners, a flat face, a single chain hole.

The chamber inside takes a token portion of ashes, a small pinch rather than a full set. Most families keep the rest in an urn and treat the tag as the piece that travels. It arrives on a chain with a funnel for filling, and if you would rather it never opened again, a jeweler can seal the thread with adhesive in a few minutes.
