Scrimshaw was more plentiful when the whaling industry in Massachusetts was in full swing, but now it is more of a collector’s item – meaning it is very expensive.This faux scrimshaw necklace lets you enjoy the feel of scrimshaw at an affordable price.When I wear my faux scrimshaw cameo, I often get compliments like “I love your scrimshaw pendant.”Sometimes I get a big “OHHH, your scrimshaw is beautiful.”
The pendant is about 2 ½ inches (57 mm) long from the top of the bail to the bottom of the sculpture and about 1¼inches (30 mm) wide.It is hung from an 18 inch (45.72 cm) gold filled chain.
