Shotgun Shell Keepsake Pendant Urn

Modeled on a spent 12 gauge shell, this pendant pairs a ribbed steel body with a smooth base and runs about an inch and a half long. It is heavier in the hand than most keepsakes at this price, which is part of why hunters pick it.

The capacity is a full cubic inch, generous for a wearable piece but still a token portion of ashes rather than an entire cremation. It loads from the top, and the cap threads back down snug. If it is going to be worn every day, ask a jeweler to put a drop of adhesive on the threads. Some buyers keep it on a chain, others on a keyring or a truck mirror instead.

• One cubic inch of interior space, larger than most pendant urns
• Top-loading cap with a threaded closure
• The ribbed body hides scuffs, which matters if it rides on a keyring rather than a chain
