Turtle Gold Steel Keepsake

Sea turtle rendered in gold-finished steel, an inch across, with the shell segments raised and the flippers swept back against the body. People pick this one for someone who dove, fished, or spent every holiday within sight of the water.

The chamber takes 0.25 cubic inches. That is a token portion of ashes: enough for a pendant, not enough to replace an urn. It fills through a top opening under the bail. A small funnel helps, and a jeweler can add a drop of adhesive to the threads if you would rather it never come open again once it is closed.

• 1/4 cu in chamber, loaded from the top under the bail.
• Arrives on a matching chain, so it is ready to wear on the day it lands.
• Wipe with a dry cloth and keep it out of pools and salt water.
