Steel Rose Keepsake Necklace

Petals turn in tight folds at the center of this pendant, worked in stainless steel so the rose keeps its shape rather than flattening with wear. The whole flower is half an inch wide and just over half an inch tall, small enough to sit under a collar without showing. It comes on a chain.

Inside is room for a token portion of ashes or a lock of hair. The supplier specification does not name the opening type, so plan on filling it with a small funnel and, if you want it closed permanently, having a jeweler seal the threads with a drop of adhesive. That is a five-minute job at most bench jewelers.

• Half an inch wide by 0.625 inch tall, supplied on a chain
