Embrace the spirit of New England’s golden age of sail with this finely sculpted, Sterling Silver-Plated Nantucket Lightship Basket Necklace—complete with an opening hinged lid, a hidden lucky penny, and a hand-inked Tall Ship (Whaling Bark) top. Drawing inspiration from the storied island tradition spotlighted on the Netflix series Sirens, this miniature wearable keepsake unites classic nautical adventure with gallery-caliber artistry. Cast in the USA from solid pewter and finished in bright sterling silver plate, it hangs from a matching 18-inch sterling silver chain—ready to wear or present as a gift right out of the box. Why Shoppers Love It A Secret Good Luck Charm Inside: Open the hinged basket lid to find a miniature penny nestled inside—continuing the time-honored Nantucket basket-maker's custom of wishing good fortune and safe voyage to the wearer. Built to Last — Lifetime Guarantee: Proudly crafted in the USA from sturdy pewter and plated in brilliant sterling silver so it can be worn every day and passed down for decades. Coastal Style That Protects Wildlife: Every order contributes to global conservation. We donate monthly to vetted, low-overhead organizations working to stop elephant poaching and protect endangered wildlife worldwide. Ready for Meaningful Gifting: A memorable keepsake for sailors, tall ship admirers, maritime history buffs, Cape Cod & Nantucket travelers, Mother’s Day, and birthdays. The Artistry Behind the Tall Ship Lid The ivory-toned lid inlay portrays an authentic 19th-century Whaling Bark under full sail, created from an original maritime engraving by master artist Linda Layden, whose etched works have been exhibited in galleries, museum stores, and coastal boutiques around the globe for more than 40 years. Original Hand-Etching: Every tall ship motif begins as a hand-etched original by Linda Layden, capturing the intricate rigging and billowing sails of a historic New England vessel. Cruelty-Free Resin Casting: Using a custom mold of Linda's original engraving, each inlay is open-cast in our specialized resin blend—preserving traditional seafaring artistry without harming marine or land wildlife. Hand-Sanded & Hand-Inked: Once cured, every lid is individually hand-sanded and inked with fine India Ink so the towering masts, rigging, and ocean swells stand out in crisp contrast. A Piece of Maritime History First crafted aboard Nantucket’s lightships in the mid-1800s, Lightship Baskets were originally woven by crewmen to pass the quiet hours during long deployments at sea. Over the decades, these utilitarian maritime vessels evolved into prized emblems of New England coastal style.
