Sterling Silver Hot Air Balloon Charm | Made in USA

A hot air balloon lifting skyward — cast in an impressive 6.7 grams of solid .925 sterling silver, Made in USA. This is one of the heaviest charms available, with enough silver to feel like a real journey in your hand.

At 6.7 grams, this balloon outweighs a U.S. nickel by more than 30%. Solid sterling silver has a density and coolness that hollow imports made from metal slightly thicker than aluminum foil simply cannot fake. You know the difference the moment you hold it.

The first manned hot air balloon flight took place in Paris in 1783, when the Montgolfier brothers sent two passengers floating over the city. That same sense of wonder persists today at balloon festivals worldwide. This charm captures the envelope, basket, and burner assembly at 3/8" x 3/4". A sterling silver jump ring comes included and attached.

A soaring gift for balloon ride veterans, festival photographers, aviation enthusiasts, or dreamers who look up every time they hear a burner fire. Wear it as a pendant or add it to a travel-themed charm bracelet.
