Maracas Silver Charms Sterling Silver | Musical Instrument Charm | Mexican Jewelry | Made in USA

The Maracas Silver — cast in solid .925 sterling silver and proudly Made in USA through traditional lost-wax casting.

Each piece begins as a hand-sculpted wax model, encased in investment plaster, and burned out at 1,350 degrees before molten sterling silver is poured at over 1,640 degrees Fahrenheit. A centrifugal caster generates roughly 50 G's of force to push molten silver into every fine detail — a 6,500-year-old technique dating back to ancient Egypt and Rome.

A pair of maracas rendered in sterling silver — the gourd-shaped rattles and handles are cast in full 3D at 3/8" x 3/4". These Latin American percussion instruments have been setting rhythms in Mariachi, Samba, and folk music for centuries.

Comes with a sterling silver jump ring attached and ready to hang from a charm bracelet, necklace chain, or pair of ear wires for instant earrings. Makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who connects with the maracas silver — birthdays, holidays, or just because.
