Gondola Charm Sterling Silver | Travel Jewelry | Venice Jewelry

A Venetian gondola — the elegant flat-bottomed boat that has glided through the canals of Venice for over a thousand years — cast in .925 sterling silver, Made in USA. This 3D charm weighs 2.4 grams and measures 7/8" x 5/8".

The lost-wax casting process captures the gondola's distinctive asymmetric hull, the ferro (ornamental prow), and the curved stern in solid sterling silver. Each piece is individually hand-polished through progressive stages to a bright, mirror-like finish.

Venice's gondolas date back to the 11th century. Today, only about 400 remain in service — each one built by hand in a squero boatyard using eight different types of wood. The gondolier's single oar and the gentle splash of canal water have become inseparable from the romance and mystique of Venice.

An evocative gift for travelers, Italy lovers, Venice visitors, or anyone celebrating a romantic milestone. Sterling silver jump ring comes attached — wear it on a travel-themed charm bracelet or as a pendant that holds a memory.
