Twister Jewelry for the Wild at Heart - Sterling Silver Tornado | Made in USA

A tornado — nature's most violent atmospheric phenomenon — cast in solid .925 sterling silver, Made in USA. This 3D charm weighs 1.7 grams and measures 3/4" x 1/2", capturing the funnel cloud from ground contact to anvil cloud.

The lost-wax casting process renders the tornado's spiraling funnel in three-dimensional silver, a shape that is surprisingly difficult to cast due to its tapered, rotating form. Hand-finishing polishes the vortex surface while maintaining the organic swirl of the funnel.

Tornadoes can generate winds exceeding 300 mph, travel at 70 mph across the ground, and grow over a mile wide. The United States averages about 1,200 tornadoes per year, mostly in Tornado Alley between the Rockies and the Appalachians. A sterling silver jump ring comes attached.

An ideal charm for storm chasers, meteorology students, weather enthusiasts, or anyone who has watched a supercell from a safe distance and felt the raw power of the atmosphere. Add it to a bracelet or wear it as a pendant.
