Gold Glass Heart Necklace Keepsake

Light is the point of this one. The heart is artisan glass with gold tones worked through the body, about an inch tall, so the colour shifts with whatever sits behind it — a window, a lamp, the fabric of a shirt. A small threaded opening at the top is where the ashes go in.

Capacity is roughly a quarter of a cubic inch. That is a token portion and nothing like a full set; an adult needs about 200 cubic inches, so this is worn alongside a main urn rather than instead of one. It arrives on a chain and is filled at home with a small funnel, and a jeweler can put adhesive on the threads if you want it closed permanently.

• Chain included; the pendant ships empty for you to fill
• A quarter cubic inch takes a pinch of ashes, a lock of hair, or a little sand
• Wipe with a soft dry cloth and keep it out of ultrasonic cleaners
