Gold Battlecross Pendant

At two inches tall and half an inch wide, this is the longest pendant in the gold steel range. The shape is the battle cross: rifle, helmet and boots, the field memorial soldiers set up for their own. It hangs vertically and sits below the collarbone on most chains.

The chamber loads from the bottom and takes about a quarter cubic inch, a token portion rather than a full set of ashes. Its length means it shows over a shirt collar, which is usually the intention. Service families often buy one for each sibling and keep the main urn at home.

• Two inches tall, so check it against your chain length before ordering
• Bottom screw opening, filled with a small funnel
• The narrow face suits engraved initials or a service date rather than a full name
