Dad Steel Pendant

Cut through the front of this upright stainless steel pendant is the word Dad, sized to be read without squinting. It stands an inch and a quarter tall by three quarters wide, taller than it is broad, which gives it a squarer look than the heart pendants it sits beside.

Half a cubic inch goes in through the top. That is a token share of a father's ashes rather than the whole set, and it is a common way to give each of several children something the same. Steel takes daily wear from working hands better than silver does, and it will not need polishing after a year in a shirt pocket.

• Holds about half a cubic inch, roughly a rounded teaspoon
• Stainless steel handles daily wear better than soft silver
• Buy one per sibling if the ashes are being shared out
