White Stone Heart Key Gold Steel Keepsake

Paired shapes give this keepsake its name: a heart with a key set against it, worked in gold-toned steel with a white stone at the front. It stands about an inch tall and reads as jewelry rather than as an urn. The finish is bright and holds its color without polishing.

Capacity is half a cubic inch, which is a token portion of ashes. An adult's ashes need roughly one cubic inch of space per pound of body weight, so this holds a small fraction and belongs next to a full urn rather than in place of one. It suits a dresser, a memory box, or a bag carried daily.

• Holds 0.5 cu in, enough for a keepsake portion.
• The key sits behind the heart, so the outline is deeper than a plain pendant of the same height.
• Carried loose in a bag it will scratch against keys, so a small pouch keeps the finish.
