Flighted Cross Gold Steel Keepsake

The cross runs two inches from top to bottom, with wings swept back along the crossbar, all of it gold-plated steel. A screw top closes the chamber at the head. This is the longest of the pendants in this group, and it reads as jewelry from across a room rather than as a memorial piece.

Capacity is a token portion, filled by you at home. The bulk of the ashes stays wherever you have decided they belong, whether that is an urn on a shelf, a burial, or a scattering. Because of the length it hangs best on the chain supplied rather than on a shorter one you already own.

• Screw top at the head of the cross; turn it snug rather than tight to protect the threads
• Suits anyone who wants a visible piece instead of something tucked under a collar
• A jeweler can add adhesive to the threads for a permanent seal
