Pack Baskets are one of the oldest surviving Adirondack traditions dating back
to the mid-1800's when they were used by guides to carry heavy loads. Our Pack Basket
is modeled after Jim's grandfather's. It has a traditional round "belly" that bows out
just slightly. We've fashioned this
historical Adirondack item into a unique piece of jewelry. See
Charms Gallery
for a
larger view.
It measures 1/2" h x 3/8" w.
We "antique", darkened the finish to bring out the woven details. The
necklace comes with a quality USA manufactured sterling silver chain, all parts are soldered for
strength & durability. The earrings
are available with either sterling silver lever-backs (shown in photo) or
sterling silver french wires. Lever-backs have a steel spring that
securely holds the hinged back closed making this style more secure &
comfortable while french wires are an affordable alternative. See our
Acorn Earrings
which are photographed with french wires if you're unfamiliar with this
style. |
