August w/ Peridot Stainless Steel Keepsake

Peridot runs a yellow green that reads warmer than emerald, and against the mirror finish of this stainless steel pendant it stands out more than a photograph suggests. The body is three quarters of an inch wide and a shade over an inch tall. Filling is done through a threaded port at the top of the piece.

Like the rest of the birthstone series, this carries a token amount of ashes rather than a full set. That is usually the point: one pendant each for the children, one urn for the mantel. If the wearer is hard on jewelry, ask a jeweler to seal the threads so nothing works loose over time.

• Supplied on a chain with a funnel for filling.
• Stainless steel handles showers, swimming, and daily wear without dulling.
• Sized 0.75 by 1.13 inches, worth checking against a pendant you already own.
