Beaded Bracelet with Copper Disc and Silver Starfish
These bracelets feature spherically shaped turquoise-green beads from which a copper disc overlaid by a silver starfish are suspended. A double silver spacer is placed between sets of five beads, which have a marbled appearance. The copper disc is made from copper sheathing removed from USS Constitution’s hull during regular maintenance.
The bracelet is strung on an elastic cord to adjust to different wrist sizes.
This bracelet is made by a local New England craftsman exclusively for the USS Constitution Museum. The bracelet’s tag provides certification of the copper’s origin as being removed from “Old Ironsides.”
