October Pink Silver Keepsake

Pink is the stone colour for October, set flush into the face of a small round silver pendant. The whole disc is five eighths of an inch wide, which is about the size of a shirt button. Worn on the chain it comes with, it reads as an ordinary piece of jewelry and nothing more.

That discretion is usually the reason people choose this size. It goes under a work collar without a bulge, and it does not draw questions at a desk or on a shop floor. What it holds is a pinch of ashes or a few strands of hair rather than a full set, so most buyers keep it alongside a larger urn at home. It is filled at home with a small funnel.

• Small enough at 5/8 inch to sit under a collar unnoticed
• Fill it yourself at home; a small funnel is the usual tool
