Accordion Charm Sterling Silver | Music Jewelry | Made in USA

The accordion — the "squeeze box" that powered polkas, tangos, and zydeco — rendered in .925 sterling silver, Made in USA. At 4.2 grams, this 3D charm has the heft of real quality.

Each accordion charm is lost-wax cast using a technique that has been used to create intricate metalwork for over 6,500 years. After casting, the bellows folds, the keyboard, and the button array are brought to life through hours of hand-finishing — filing, sanding, and polishing each piece individually.

The accordion was patented in 1829 in Vienna and rapidly spread across Europe, the Americas, and beyond. It became the heartbeat of genres as diverse as French musette, Argentine tango, Cajun zydeco, Colombian vallenato, and Tex-Mex conjunto. Few instruments have traveled to more corners of the world.

Perfect for accordion players, polka enthusiasts, zydeco fans, or anyone with roots in the folk music traditions where the squeeze box reigns supreme. Measures 3/4" x 1/2" with a sterling silver jump ring attached.
