Igloo Charm Sterling Silver | Inuit Jewelry | Made in USA

At just 1 gram of solid .925 sterling silver, this tiny igloo charm packs remarkable detail into a compact 3/8" x 3/8" frame. Made in USA through lost-wax casting, every block of the ice house is rendered in three-dimensional relief.

Molten sterling silver is poured at over 1,640 degrees and forced into the mold by a centrifugal caster generating roughly 50 G's of force. That pressure is what captures the individual ice block texture and domed entrance tunnel that make this charm immediately recognizable.

The igloo -- or igluvigaq in Inuktitut -- is one of the most ingenious shelters ever devised, maintaining interior temperatures above freezing even in Arctic conditions. This charm captures the classic dome shape with its arched entrance passage in faithful miniature. A sterling silver jump ring comes included and attached.

Perfect for Arctic enthusiasts, winter sport lovers, architecture buffs, or anyone fascinated by indigenous engineering. Wear it as a pendant, clip it to a charm bracelet, or buy two and pair with ear wires for unique earrings.
