Alba Teardrop

Teardrop pendants read quieter than hearts, which is why families often land on this one. The Alba is cut from silver in a narrow drop shape, about 24 mm tall and 16 mm across, and just over a millimeter thick, flat enough to sit against the skin without catching on clothes.

This piece is made to be engraved: a name, a date, a short line, or a fingerprint taken by the funeral home. It hangs on a chain and most people wear it every day, so plan for a soft cloth and the occasional polish, because silver dulls with skin contact. Keep it out of pools and hot tubs.

• Silver, roughly 24 mm tall by 16 mm wide and about 1 mm thick
• Engraving is offered here as a paid option, not included in the price
• The drop hangs point-down and stays oriented, unlike a disc that spins on its bail
