Piggy Bank Charm Sterling Silver | Made in USA

A piggy bank — slot on top, curly tail in back — cast in 3 grams of solid .925 sterling silver and Made in USA. This 3D charm is worth more than the coins it is shaped to hold.

The hand-finishing process for this charm involves individually filing each pig to remove casting seams, then polishing through tripoli compound and rouge to a smooth, mirror-bright finish. The coin slot, snout, ears, and curly tail are all visible in this miniature.

The piggy bank tradition may date to 15th-century Europe, where coins were stored in jars made of "pygg," an orange clay. When potters began shaping these jars like actual pigs, a financial icon was born. This charm captures the classic piggy silhouette with coin slot at 1/2" x 1/2". A sterling silver jump ring comes included and attached.

A smart gift for savers, financial advisors, kids learning about money, or graduates starting their first budget. Makes a fun pendant, a bracelet charm celebrating financial milestones, or a gift for the person who taught you the value of a dollar.
