Lighthouse Charm Sterling Silver | Old Point Loma Sterling Silver | Made in USA
At 5.1 grams of solid .925 sterling silver, this Lighthouse charm is Made in USA through traditional lost-wax casting. The 3/4" x 5/8" footprint holds remarkable dimensional detail — the kind of depth you can feel under your fingertip.
The process starts with a hand-sculpted wax model. That wax is encased in investment plaster, then burned away at 1,350 degrees Fahrenheit. Molten sterling silver — heated past 1,640 degrees — fills the void under centrifugal force, capturing detail that stamping and pressing simply cannot achieve.
Old Point Loma Lighthouse — built in 1855 — was the first lighthouse on the southern California coast. Though replaced by a lower light in 1891 because fog often obscured its clifftop beam, the original tower remains one of San Diego's most visited historical landmarks.
Add this to a charm bracelet, hang it from a necklace chain, or buy two and pair with sterling ear wires for coastal-themed earrings. A meaningful gift for lighthouse enthusiasts, maritime history buffs, or anyone who collects memories from America's coastlines. Comes with a sterling silver jump ring attached and ready to wear.
