April White Gold Steel Keepsake

White glass wraps the middle of this small gold-toned steel bead, standing in for April's diamond without the price of one. It measures five-eighths of an inch in both directions, so it sits on a chain as a charm rather than as a pendant. The top unscrews.

Inside there is room for a pinch of ashes and nothing more. This is a token, not a container for a full set of remains, and families usually fill it from a larger urn at home. It threads onto most standard chains and bracelets, so it can join pieces you already own. Fill it over a sheet of paper so anything that spills can be tipped back in.

• Screw top opening, filled at home with the funnel included.
• Threads onto most chains and charm bracelets up to about 3 mm thick.
• The glass band chips if the bead knocks against keys, so keep it on a chain rather than loose.
