Sterling Silver Sand Dollar Charm | Seashore Jewelry | Made in USA

The sand dollar -- the ocean floor's most recognizable resident -- cast in .925 sterling silver and Made in USA. This 3D charm weighs 2 grams and measures 3/4" x 7/8", faithfully reproducing the five-pointed star pattern on the sand dollar's surface.

Lost-wax casting preserves the radial symmetry and textured surface detail of a real sand dollar in solid sterling silver. Each piece is hand-finished to a polish that highlights the contrast between the raised star pattern and the surrounding texture.

Sand dollars are actually a type of sea urchin (order Clypeasteroida) that lives in sandy ocean floors. The five-pointed pattern on their surface follows the same radial symmetry found throughout the echinoderm family. In Christian tradition, the markings are said to represent the Star of Bethlehem and the Easter lily.

A natural gift for beachcombers, shell collectors, marine biology fans, or anyone who treasures walks along the shore. Comes with a sterling silver jump ring for bracelet, pendant, or earring use.
