March Mothers Love w/ Aquamarine Gold Plated steel

Filling happens through the side on this pendant, not the top, which leaves the front face clean and puts the threaded fitting where nobody looks. The stone is aquamarine, pale blue for March, set into gold-plated steel that stands an inch tall.

A quarter of a cubic inch fits inside. In practical terms that is about half a teaspoon of ashes: a keepsake portion taken from the main urn, never a substitute for one. Because the opening sits low on the body, fill it with the pendant lying on its back rather than held upright, and go slowly.

• Side opening, 0.25 cu in capacity, funnel included.
• Aquamarine is pale enough that it reads almost clear against the gold in low light.
• Gold plating over steel; take it off before showering to keep the finish even.
