Tugboat Charm Sterling Silver | Nautical Boat Jewelry | Made in USA

The tugboat — small but impossibly strong — cast in 3.5 grams of solid .925 sterling silver, Made in USA. This 3D charm punches well above its size, just like its real-world counterpart.

The hand-finishing process for this charm involves individually filing, sanding, and polishing each piece through progressive stages. After rough filing removes casting seams, tripoli compound smooths the surface, and rouge polish brings the silver to a mirror-bright finish. The process takes over 8 hours per batch.

Tugboats are the unsung workhorses of every harbor, docking massive container ships and guiding tankers through narrow channels with nothing but raw horsepower and skilled captains. This charm captures the pilothouse, smokestack, and hull at 3/4" x 1/2". A sterling silver jump ring comes included and attached.

An ideal gift for harbor pilots, merchant mariners, tug captains, or anyone who admires quiet strength and reliability. Makes a great retirement gift for maritime professionals or a charming addition to a nautical bracelet collection.
