Get ready to make a statement with The Nautically Charmed Necklace!
Our friends at Whale Tail Weaving are lifelong fans of charm jewelry, like those special sentimental pieces that our grandmothers and mothers used to wear. So, in keeping with the Whale Tail Weaving spirit, they've created their own modern spin on this classic look - with nautical charm, of course!
Each necklace includes six nautical charms that are meticulously hand-carved from buffalo horn, gathered together with other Whale Tail Weaving pieces, and connected to a gold-linked chain - the result is a piece you won't find anywhere else. This necklace is playful yet sophisticated, and the neutral pallete works with everything in your closet.
A show-stopping piece to elevate your coastal look with modern, yet timeless charm, steeped in New England maritime history and tradition.
The Charmed Necklace is 20" in length with lobster clasp to adjust to any length.
Materials: Gold-plated chain, hand carved buffalo horn charms, Nantucket basket charm (cane, rattan), Tiger's Eye stone
About Whale Tail Weaving and The Nantucket Lightship Basket Tradition
In the early to mid-1800s, Nantucket Island in Massachusetts was considered the whaling capital of the world. During this time, lightships acted as mobile navigation stations, upon which the sailors manning them would also have to live for long stretches of time. To pass the time, sailors would often carve whale bone and weave baskets. When the baskets came home to Nantucket, they started out as purely utilitarian, and grew to become family heirlooms, passed down through generations.
Today, Whale Tail Weaving honors that history and offers modern pieces of wearable art that hold true to America’s whaling and lightship history. Nantucket basket bracelets, necklaces, and accessories are hand-made in the classic tradition.
“I have vivid images of our kitchen counter growing up, where there was often an upside-down hard wooden mold with lots of thin wooden “fingers” sticking out, untamed and spread wide open. Every week, especially throughout Cape Cod winters, my mom would gather up her supplies and visit her 'Basket Ladies'. These Basket Lady sessions intrigued me, but it wasn’t until much later that I learned to weave myself. I now have a sense of how important that activity was to her — socially, as well as for the satisfaction and joy of creating something beautiful with your own hands.
Today, I weave in my mother’s footsteps to keep this American art alive.” -Bridget Wiatrowski, Whale Tail Weaving
Product Care
To keep your jewelry in pristine condition, avoid exposure to chemical products, perfumes, excessive sweat, seawater, and pool water. Both saltwater and chlorine can harm your pieces: chlorine can discolor and damage metals mixed with gold and gradually wear down the finish and polish of charms. Additionally, lotions and sprays can leave a film that dulls your jewelry’s shine.
To prevent tarnish and maintain your jewelry’s luster, gently clean it with a soft, damp cloth, making sure to reach all the small crevices. Keeping your jewelry dry is crucial, as moisture accelerates tarnishing.
For storage, keep different types of jewelry separate. We suggest using a Ziploc or sandwich bag with the air squeezed out to minimize oxidation and preserve your pieces.
