Gold Detailed Crystal Pendant

Fine scrollwork frames a cluster of clear crystals on the front of this gold-finished pendant. It is close to square at three quarters of an inch wide and an inch tall, and the detail is deep enough to hold a shadow rather than looking printed on. The body underneath is gold-plated steel.

Filling is through the top, under the bail, and the interior takes about a quarter cubic inch. That is a small share of ashes kept close, not the whole of them. Anyone worried about the contents can have a jeweler put a drop of adhesive on the threads once it is full.

• About 1/4 cubic inch inside, a token portion rather than a full set of ashes
• Top-loading screw hidden under the bail
• The reverse is left smooth so an engraved name and dates sit cleanly
