Angel’s Wing Gold Steel Keepsake

Wider than it is tall at 1.25 by 0.75 inches, this wing lies flat against the collarbone instead of hanging point-down the way a heart does. The feathers are cut into gold-plated steel with enough relief to catch light. It is one of the few motifs that suits men and women equally.

No capacity figure is published for this piece. At this size the chamber takes a token amount only, well under a cubic inch, so treat it as somewhere to keep a pinch of ashes or a lock of hair with the remainder in an urn. It loads through a threaded opening at the top of the wing.

• Lies flat rather than dangling, which suits wearing it under a shirt
• Chain included, and the shape works on a longer chain for a man
• A jeweler can seal the threads with adhesive if it will be worn constantly
