September w/ Sapphire Stainless Steel Keepsake

Sapphire blue marks this one as the September piece in the birthstone series, a deep saturated stone against the mirror finish of stainless steel. It stands an inch tall with a heart cut into the front face. Blue is the strongest color in the whole set and stays readable from across a room.

The chamber takes a quarter cubic inch, filled from the top. That is a token portion, worth saying plainly because it is the most common misunderstanding in this category: a keepsake does not hold a person's full ashes. Buy it as a second piece for a daughter, a brother, or whoever lives furthest from the main urn.

• September birthstone in blue, with heart detail on the front face
• Top opening and a quarter cubic inch capacity
• Stainless steel needs no polish; a dry cloth is enough
