Heaven's Tears Silver Keepsake

Teardrop pendants are among the smallest memorial pieces made, and this one is finished in plain silver with no stone or pattern to compete with the shape. The form is narrow, roughly half an inch tall and a quarter inch across, so it reads as jewelry rather than as an urn. A small screw closure sits in the side of the drop.

Capacity is about a quarter of a cubic inch. That is a token portion of ashes, not a full set, and families often divide a spoonful among several pieces so more than one person can wear one. You fill it yourself with the funnel that comes in the box, then thread the screw back in by hand.

• Side screw closure; arrives on a chain with a small filling funnel
• Holds roughly 1/4 cubic inch, a token portion rather than a full set of ashes
• Half an inch tall, one of the smallest pieces here, and it disappears under a collar
