Sterling Silver Sand Dollar Pendant.

Sterling Silver, 925

Sterling Silver Sand Dollar Pendant. Beachcombers love to find Sand Dollars. We’ve all seen sand dollars wash up on the beach, a pretty white shell with a stunning star shape stamped on one side.  When they’re alive, they’re actually a purple color and covered in tiny flexible bristles. When they die, their skeletons get bleached by the sun, turning them white, and the small spines fade away. The familiar star pattern seen clearly on the bleached shell is more hidden when they’re alive.

Oh and they’re not money — you can’t use them to buy anything — so why are they called dollars? People thought the skeletal remains (called the test) resembled silver coin currency, which is how the name ‘sand dollar’ came about.

This lovely Sterling Silver Sand Dollar Pendant is perfect for all you beachcombers out there.

Dint forget to take a look at the matching Sand Dollar earrings.
