Why You’ll Love This Piece

  • A Hidden Good Luck Charm: True to historic Nantucket basket-making tradition, a miniature penny is tucked safely inside the opening basket to symbolize good luck and fortune for the wearer.

  • Backed by a Lifetime Guarantee: Proudly made in the USA and built to be treasured for generations.

  • Jewelry That Gives Back: Every order helps protect endangered wildlife. We donate monthly to vetted, low-overhead conservation organizations dedicated to saving elephants from poaching and protecting species worldwide—so your jewelry looks good and does good.

The Artistry Behind the Nantucket Island Map Lid The exquisite ivory-toned top inlay showcases the iconic silhouette of Nantucket Island, created from original etched artwork by master artist Linda Layden, who has spent over 40 years perfecting her craft in maritime engraving. Her celebrated pieces are displayed in fine gift shops, galleries, and museums across the globe.

  • Original Hand-Etching: Each Nantucket Island map begins as an original, hand-etched piece by Linda Layden.

  • Cruelty-Free Resin Casting: A precision mold is crafted for an open-cast pour of our specialized resin blend—capturing classic maritime etching artistry without harming wildlife.

  • Hand-Finished Detail: Once cured, every inlay is carefully removed, hand-sanded, and hand-inked with fine India Ink to bring the island's coastline and geographic details to life.

A Piece of Maritime History Originating aboard Nantucket’s lightships in the mid-1800s, Lightship Baskets were first woven by crewmen to pass the time during long deployments at sea. Over time, these utilitarian vessels evolved into refined, highly sought-after symbols of coastal style and Nantucket heritage.
