February w/ Amethyst Sterling Silver Keepsake

Sterling silver, an inch tall, with a purple amethyst set into it for February. The stone sits at the darker end of purple rather than lilac, and against silver it reads clearly even at this size. Silver picks up a soft patina with handling, which most people prefer to leave alone rather than polish out.

This one opens at the side rather than the top or the base, so filling is done through a small threaded port with the funnel supplied. What goes in is a token portion of ashes, far under a cubic inch. Families working through the range by birth month usually take one each, which is the whole point of buying them this way.

• Side opening, and a jeweler can seal the threads with adhesive for permanence.
• One inch tall, light enough to wear on a chain or keep in a jewelry box.
• No capacity figure is published; treat it as a pinch rather than a measured share.
