May w/ Emerald Sterling Silver Keepsake

Emerald sits at the centre of this round sterling silver keepsake, a green stone against bright metal, which is a stronger contrast than most of the birthstones in the range give you. May is the month it belongs to. The disc is about an inch wide with a smooth, unmarked back.

The chamber inside opens by a screw set into the rim. What it holds is a token portion, well under a cubic inch, typically a small spoonful of ashes or a lock of hair. One family will often order several of these across different months, so each person carries the birthstone of the person they lost rather than a matching set.

• Sterling silver disc with a genuine emerald; roughly 1 inch across
• Side screw closure, with a filling funnel and chain included
• Order several in different birthstones if more than one relative wants one
