Loon Charm Sterling Silver | Duck Charm | Bird Jewelry | Made in USA

The common loon — icon of northern lakes — cast in solid .925 sterling silver and Made in USA. This 3D charm weighs 2.6 grams and sits at 3/4" x 3/8", capturing the bird's distinctive silhouette as it swims low in the water.

Cast through a technique dating back 6,500 years, the lost-wax process begins with a hand-sculpted wax original. That model is encased in plaster, burned out, and replaced with molten sterling silver at over 1,640 degrees Fahrenheit. The centrifugal caster generates enough force to fill even the finest details of the loon's checkered back pattern and sharp, dagger-like bill. A sterling silver jump ring is attached and ready for wear.

The common loon is the state bird of Minnesota and appears on the Canadian one-dollar coin (the "loonie"). Known for their striking red eyes, black-and-white plumage, and ability to dive over 200 feet deep, loons produce one of the most haunting calls in North American wilderness — a tremolo that echoes across still water at dusk.

An ideal gift for lake house owners, Minnesota natives, Canadian friends, canoe enthusiasts, or anyone whose happiest memories involve still water and distant loon calls.
