June Light Purple Steel Keepsake

Lavender rather than violet is the shade here, a pale purple that reads almost grey under low light and shows its color properly near a window. The June piece uses the same five-eighths inch stainless steel body as the rest of the birthstone series, polished to a mirror at the rim.

Ashes go in through a screw top, and the amount is small: a pinch, held as a token. Anyone planning to keep an entire adult set needs a full urn sized by the one cubic inch per pound rule, with a keepsake like this as an addition to it. Families often buy several at once and split a single portion between them.

• June in the birthstone series, in a light purple alexandrite tone
• Screw top, measuring 0.625 inch wide by 0.625 inch high
• One of twelve birthstone keepsakes in the same body, so a family can match a set
