Mens Black Cross Gold Steel Pendant

Black inlay fills the face of this cross, with gold steel showing at the borders and along the bevelled edges. It reads as jewelry a man will actually wear: an inch tall, squared off at the arms, with no scrollwork and no stones anywhere on it.

A quarter of a cubic inch fits inside, which is a keepsake measure. That is a small portion of ashes for one person to carry while the rest stays in a full urn. The opening is a screw fitting in the bottom arm of the cross, out of sight when the pendant is worn. Turn it out, fill with a funnel, turn it back until snug.

• Screw opening in the base of the cross, hidden against the chest.
• 1/4 cu in capacity — a token portion, not a full set of ashes.
• Black inlay is filled into the metal rather than painted on, so it will not flake at the edges.
