School Bus Charm Sterling Silver | Made in USA
That particular shade of National School Bus Glossy Yellow — standardized in 1939 — is one of the most universally recognized colors in American life, signaling the start of every school morning for generations of children. Rendered here in 3D .925 sterling silver made in the USA, the school bus becomes a keepsake charged with nostalgia and gratitude.

At 4.6 grams, this is one of the weightier pieces in a bracelet, and the 1" x 3/8" form captures the flat nose, side windows, emergency door, and stop-sign arm in convincing miniature. Centrifugal lost-wax casting drives molten silver into the mold at roughly 50 G's, filling every structural detail; hand-polishing from rough filing through final buff gives the finished piece a bright, lasting surface.
About 480,000 school buses carry 26 million American students every school day — making the yellow bus one of the most ubiquitous vehicles on the continent. A sterling silver jump ring is included and attached. This charm makes a meaningful end-of-year gift for bus drivers, a retirement keepsake for long-serving transportation staff, or a fun addition to a bracelet for teachers, school administrators, and parents marking their child's milestone first day.
