Gold Steel Cylinder Jewelry Urn

Just under an inch tall, this cylinder hangs vertically instead of lying flat against the collarbone, and its narrow profile disappears under a shirt collar. Gold-toned steel gives it the color of gold without the softness that makes real gold easy to dent. The top unscrews to open it.

What goes inside is a pinch of ashes, not a portion anyone would call a share. Cremation jewelry is a token, and families who understand it that way are rarely disappointed by it. It arrives with a chain and you fill it yourself using a small funnel, working over a sheet of paper. A jeweler can put a drop of adhesive on the threads afterward if you want it closed permanently. Wear it daily or keep it in a box and put it on for anniversaries.
