Totem Pole Pendant Sterling Silver | Made in USA

A totem pole — the monumental cedar art of the Pacific Northwest — cast in .925 sterling silver, Made in USA. At 6.1 grams, this 3D pendant stands an impressive 1-5/8" tall and measures 1/2" wide, with stacked figures carved in miniature.

Each totem pole is lost-wax cast using a process refined over 6,500 years. At this size and weight, the casting demands precision — molten silver at 1,640 degrees must fill every animal face, wing, and carved detail stacked along the pole. Hand-polishing through progressive stages brings each figure into sharp relief.

Totem poles are among the most visually striking art forms in the world. Carved by Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast — Haida, Tlingit, Kwakwaka'wakw, and others — they tell clan histories, honor ancestors, and mark important events. Each figure on the pole holds specific cultural meaning.

A distinguished pendant for art collectors, Pacific Northwest enthusiasts, anthropology students, or anyone drawn to monumental Indigenous art. Sterling silver jump ring comes attached — this substantial piece works best on a heavier chain or leather cord.
