July w/ Ruby Sterling Silver Keepsake

Ruby marks July, and here it sits red against sterling silver rather than the steel used in the lower-priced birthstone pieces. Silver is softer in tone and warmer against skin, and it will take a light polish if it dulls over the years. The stone is set into the front of the body.

Like the rest of the birthstone range, this holds a token portion of ashes, well under a cubic inch, so treat it as a piece for one person to keep rather than the vessel for everything. Capacity and dimensions are not listed for this item; if size matters for wearing it or for a particular shelf, confirm the figures before ordering.

• Sterling silver rather than plated steel, which is the main difference at this price.
• Fill with a funnel, then a jeweler can seal the closure if you want it permanent.
• Listed without dimensions, so ask us for the size if it is going to be a gift.
