.925 Silver Confederate SOUTH CAROLINA Palmetto Guard Civil War Button Pendant

Description

This listing is for a very unique, hand-made pendant, designed for Civil War relic hunters, metal detecting enthusiasts and history buffs in-general. My name is Leonard Short and I have combined my two careers of goldsmith/jewelry designer and artifact restoration to create a line of metal detecting jewelry. This pendant is modeled from an actual Confederate, English-made SOUTH CAROLINA State Seal / Palmetto Guard button (Alberts SC286 / Tice SC 17Am) that was worn during the American Civil War by the soldiers in Company I of the 2nd South Carolina Reginent! These Palmetto Guard buttons are very beautiful are rare buttons and were of the finest quality die-work, metal composition and workmanship. These buttons were manufactured in Great Britain during the Civil War and brought into use in the Confederacy through the use of blockade runners. The beautiful design incorporates the familiar South Carolina coat of arms, with the addition of a snake coiled around the trunk of the palmetto tree and the letters "CS" on the sides.
The bail on this pendant is uniquely crafted with long-term wear in mind. It has an opening that measures 3mm x 6mm in order to accommodate a very substantial chain. In addition, the bail has my signature, hinge mechanism.
If you are in need of a nice sterling silver chain on which to wear the pendant, please check out my other listings. My recommended chain style for my pendant line is a 2.5 mm diameter sterling silver wheat style chain. I have two listings: one for a 20" wheat and one for an 18".
This is a unique pendant design that you will not find anywhere else! I am offering a Buy-It-Now price of .95. Shipping is .85 in the lower 48 States. (Other destinations will require a calculation on shipping).
