February w/ Amethyst Gold Steel keepsake

Amethyst gives February its purple, and the stone here sits flush into gold-toned steel rather than raised in claws, which means nothing catches on a sweater sleeve. The pendant runs an inch across and 1.13 inches from top to bottom.

Inside there is space for a pinch of ashes, reached through a threaded opening at the top. Families tend to buy these one per person and fill each from the main urn at home, rather than asking a funeral director to divide anything for them. Two of the twelve months can share a chain if you want a pair together.

• Flush setting, so the stone sits level with the metal and shrugs off knocks.
• Top opening; fill over a sheet of paper and tip back anything that spills.
• Steel with a gold tone rather than sterling, which is why it sits below the silver February piece.
