Oboe Charm Sterling Silver | Woodwind Jewelry | Made in USA

At 1.6 grams of solid .925 sterling silver, this oboe charm is Made in USA and captures the slender double-reed instrument that provides the tuning note for every orchestra in the world.

The 3D lost-wax casting process preserves the oboe's distinctive conical bore and flared bell. Molten sterling pours in at over 1,640 degrees, and a centrifugal caster spinning at roughly 50 G's pushes silver into every key mechanism and tone hole detail. Each piece is hand-polished to a bright finish.

The oboe's lineage traces to the French hautbois of the 17th century, and its penetrating, reedy tone has been a cornerstone of orchestral music ever since. It is traditionally the instrument that sounds the concert A — the note every other instrument tunes to before a performance.

Ideal for oboists, woodwind players, band students, orchestra members, or anyone who appreciates the instrument that keeps the whole ensemble in tune. Measures 3/8" x 1" with a sterling silver jump ring attached.
