February w/ Amethyst Stainless Steel Keepsake

Purple is February's color, and the amethyst-toned stone on this keepsake is cut as a heart and set into a steel face about an inch tall. Polished stainless steel surrounds it. There is no plating to wear off at the edges, which is what usually dates this kind of piece after a year or two of daily wear.

The stated capacity is a quarter of a cubic inch. That is a token portion, a teaspoon or so, added through the opening at the top. Anyone expecting it to hold a full set of ashes will be disappointed, so pair it with a full-size urn or a burial plan. Once filled, the top closes by hand; a jeweler can seal it with a drop of adhesive if it will be worn every day.

• Quarter cubic inch interior, filled from the top
• Amethyst-toned heart stone, the February birthstone
• The stone is cut as a heart rather than set round, so the shape shows even at an inch
