August w/ Peridot Sterling Silver Keepsake

Peridot reads as a light olive green, softer than emerald and easier to wear with everyday clothes, which is partly why August buyers tend to keep this one on rather than saving it for occasions. The stone is set in a round sterling disc of about an inch that lies flat against the chest.

Opening is by a screw in the side of the rim. The chamber holds a token portion of ashes, well short of a cubic inch, so it is a carrying piece rather than a container; the rest of the ashes stay in an urn, or are buried or scattered. Fill it once and there is no reason to open it again.

• Genuine peridot on sterling silver, about 1 inch in diameter
• Side screw opening rather than a top screw, keeping the face unbroken
• A gold-toned version of the same August stone is listed separately at a lower price
