Ancestral Turquoise Silver Keepsake

Turquoise sits at the front of this silver pendant, which measures an inch wide and just over an inch tall. It loads from the top, so the threaded opening hides under the bail when the piece is closed and there is no visible plug on the back. The stone is the only color on it; the rest is polished silver.

Capacity is about a quarter of a cubic inch. That is a token portion of ashes, a pinch rather than a full set, and this is a piece meant to be worn every day rather than set on a shelf. You fill it yourself using the small funnel included, then close the top by hand. If you want it permanent, any jeweler can seal the threads with a drop of adhesive.

• Arrives with a chain and a small filling funnel
• Holds roughly 1/4 cubic inch, a token portion only
• Turquoise is a soft stone; keep perfume and hand cream off it to hold the surface
