Ancestral Ruby Silver Keepsake

The red-stone version of the Ancestral pendant runs just over an inch tall in silver, with the stone set into the front face. It loads from the top, meaning the opening is at the bail and the back of the piece stays smooth against the skin. Next to the turquoise version, this one reads warmer and darker from a distance.

It carries a token portion of ashes only, not a full set, which matters if you are choosing between this and an urn. The portion goes in through the top with the funnel provided. It is built for daily wear, though anyone who swims or works with their hands should have a jeweler seal the threads so the top cannot loosen.

• Top-loading opening hidden under the bail
• Chain included, filled at home with the supplied funnel
