Mountain Bike Charm Sterling Silver | Bicycle Jewelry | Outdoor Jewelry | Made in USA

A mountain bike in full detail -- tires, handlebars, frame, and pedals -- cast in .925 sterling silver and Made in USA. This 3D charm weighs 2.3 grams and measures 3/4" x 1/2".

The lost-wax casting process captures the bicycle's spoked wheels, curved frame, and saddle in solid sterling silver. Centrifugal casting at approximately 50 G's forces molten silver into every fine detail. Each bike is then hand-finished to a bright polish.

Mountain biking emerged in the 1970s in Marin County, California, when riders began modifying cruiser bikes to handle rugged terrain. Today it encompasses cross-country, downhill, enduro, and trail riding -- a sport that combines fitness, technical skill, and a love of the outdoors.

A fitting gift for mountain bikers, cycling enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers, or anyone who has felt the thrill of single-track trail riding. Includes a sterling silver jump ring for bracelet or pendant wear.
