Pelican Charm Sterling Silver | Waterfowl Charm | Made in USA

The brown pelican — an icon of coastal wildlife — cast in solid .925 sterling silver and Made in USA. Weighing 3.0 grams with a generous 3/4" height, this 3D charm has the dense, satisfying weight of real silver that hollow imports cannot replicate.

Each pelican is lost-wax cast: a hand-sculpted wax model is encased in investment plaster, burned away, and replaced with molten sterling silver. The result is a sculptural depth — from the oversized bill pouch to the folded wings — that flat stamping and machine pressing cannot achieve. After casting, each piece is hand-polished through four stages to a mirror finish. A sterling silver jump ring is attached and ready for wear.

The brown pelican was on the endangered species list until 2009, making one of the greatest comeback stories in American conservation. This charm captures the bird in a resting pose at 1/2" x 3/4", with the characteristic throat pouch, long bill, and compact body clearly rendered. It is a small tribute to a bird that nearly disappeared and fought its way back.

A natural gift for Gulf Coast residents, Florida snowbirds, birders, marine biology enthusiasts, or anyone who has watched pelicans dive-bomb fish from impossible heights. Works on a charm bracelet, chain pendant, or as earrings when you buy two.
