February Royal Purple Steel Keepsake

Royal purple fills the domed face of this stainless steel keepsake, a deep saturated color set against a polished silver rim. The whole piece is five-eighths of an inch across, small enough to close your hand around. It belongs to the birthstone series, February in this case, and reads as amethyst.

Capacity is a quarter of a cubic inch, so it holds a pinch of ashes and nothing more. A full adult set needs roughly one cubic inch per pound of body weight, which is why families buy one of these alongside a main urn rather than instead of it. The top threads off; hold it steady, fill slowly, then thread it back down until it stops.

• Screw top closure, threaded metal on metal
• Quarter cubic inch capacity, which is a token portion and not a full set
• Measures 0.625 inch wide by 0.625 inch high
