Dragon Fly Steel Keepsake

Dragonflies show up often in memorial jewelry, and this is a restrained version of the idea: an inch tall, stainless steel, wings held open with the vein lines cut in rather than stamped flat. No color anywhere on it, and no stones set into the wings.

Inside is half a cubic inch, a keepsake portion of ashes for one person to carry while the full amount stays in an urn. The opening type is not listed for this model, so look the pendant over when it arrives before you fill it. A small funnel makes the job cleaner, and a jeweler can seal it permanently afterward.

• 0.5 cu in capacity, which is a token share of ashes only.
• Opening type is not specified by the supplier for this piece.
• Stainless steel needs no polish, just an occasional dry wipe.
