Sterling Silver Cape Henry Lighthouse Charm: a Symbol of Guiding Light | Made in USA
Virginia Beach visitors who have rounded the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay understand the significance of Cape Henry — the point where the Atlantic narrows and every vessel must find its line. This charm reproduces the Cape Henry Lighthouse in .925 sterling silver, made in the USA, weighing 3.8 grams at 7/8" x 1/2".

The lost-wax casting process captures architectural details a stamping die could never manage: the octagonal stone tower, the lantern room, and the base masonry rendered in three-dimensional relief. Hand-polishing to a mirror finish follows, bringing out the structure of the tower against the surrounding silver. At 3.8 grams this is a substantial piece.
Capitol Henry Lighthouse was one of the first public works projects authorized by the U.S. Congress in 1792, marking one of the most important navigational points on the Atlantic coast. The original sandstone tower still stands as a historic landmark beside the later 1881 cast-iron replacement. Meaningful as a souvenir for Virginia Beach visitors, a gift for Chesapeake Bay sailors, or a piece for lighthouse collectors who want the full Atlantic coast represented. A sterling silver jump ring is included and attached.
