December w/ Blue Topaz Sterling Silver Keepsake

Blue topaz reads pale and icy against sterling silver, which is what makes this December piece easy to wear with anything. The pendant is compact at roughly 1 1/8 inches tall and 3/4 inch across, and it hangs flat rather than bulky.

It holds a token amount of ashes, filled through the top, and that is the part buyers most often misread: a keepsake this size takes a pinch, not a full set. Families usually keep the main urn at home and give a keepsake like this to one person who wants something closer at hand.

• Sterling silver with a genuine blue topaz stone
• Fill it yourself with a small funnel; work in good light and go slowly
• Sterling is softer than steel, so it marks if it is carried loose against keys or a zip
