Sweet Music Ash Gold Steel Keepsake

Musicians, and the people who loved listening to them, are who this pendant tends to be bought for. The face carries a treble clef and a run of notes in gold-toned steel, an inch and a quarter tall, slim enough to disappear under a shirt collar.

The chamber inside holds about a quarter cubic inch: a pinch of ashes, a lock of hair, or a little sand from somewhere that mattered. A funnel makes filling straightforward. If it will be worn constantly, have a jeweler seal the fitting with adhesive so nothing works loose over the years.

• Treble clef and note motif in gold steel, 1.25 in tall
• Quarter cubic inch chamber; a full set of ashes needs a standard urn
• Supplied with a chain; engraving on the back is an optional add-on
