Turquoise Heart Stone Silver Pendant Urn

Turquoise gives this silver heart its color, a mottled blue-green stone set flush into the front of the pendant so the surface stays smooth. At 1 inch tall it is a modest size, closer to a charm than a statement piece. No two stones are patterned quite the same way.

The chamber behind the stone takes a token pinch of ashes, not a full set, so keep a standard urn for the rest. Loading is done through the top opening at home, using a small funnel and a steady hand. It comes on a matching chain, and if you intend to wear it daily a jeweler can seal the threads so nothing can shift loose over time.

• Top loading opening; a small funnel makes the job much easier
• Turquoise is a soft stone, so keep it away from perfume, chlorine, and hairspray
• The stone sits flush with the metal, so there is no raised edge to catch or lift
