Sterling Silver Sweet Grass Basket Charm

This solid 925 sterling silver charm represents the craft and culture of basket making by skilled artisans throughout the lowcountry. It makes an excellent addition to the Charleston charm collection.

The art of coiled basket making was introduced to the lowcountry in the 17th century by African slaves who utilized this skill to weave baskets for plantation use and rice cultivation. Basket making has evolved from an agricultural craft to an art form produced for sale in the lowcountry.

The 1/4 inch included pinch bail allows this charm to be connected to our charm bracelet (as pictured) and our paperclip links. It also pairs nicely with a skinny snake or d of our Charleston  Rice Beads.
