Gold Crystal Charm Pendant

Crystals set into the gold face are what you notice first. The charm is small, about five-eighths of an inch wide and just over an inch tall, and the stones sit flush enough that nothing catches on clothing. Gold-plated steel underneath, so it keeps its color through ordinary wear.

Loading is from the bottom rather than the top, which leaves the decorated face uninterrupted. Capacity is roughly a quarter cubic inch: enough for a token portion of ashes, a lock of hair, or a little sand from somewhere that mattered. Families often order two or three so each sibling has one.

• Bottom screw opening leaves the crystal face unbroken
• Just over an inch tall, small enough to wear alongside another pendant on the same chain
• Keep it out of chlorine and household cleaners to protect the plating
