An ancient craft of whalers fishing from the ports of Nantucket and Cape Cod was the weaving of small baskets for their loved ones at home. We continue this craft today, making miniature gold basket jewelry. The baskets are cast from gold or handwoven with gold wire into earrings, pendants, bracelets and rings.
These two bracelet styles are great for look and durability. Both styles are constructed with a solid gold or silver bangle and gold clasp. One features a Nantucket Basket for a clasp, the other features a Nantucket Basket Cover with Scrimshaw trim for a clasp.
This Nantucket Basket Bangle Bracelet features a solid 14k gold clasp, fashioned after a Nantucket Basket, which screws securely onto the bangle. Available in all gold, or gold clasp with silver bangle.

Miniature Nantucket Basket Pendants cast from 14kt gold with scrimshaw covers, (covers are shown) available in 4 sizes, each miniature basket is crafted by hand and finished with care
