The Perfect Coastal Living Room
Rare 1980s Nantucket Lightship Basket Scrimshaw Necklace
Editor's Note
"A true vintage find — a 1980s gold-tone lightship basket pendant with a hand-etched scrimshaw whale medallion set into the lid, swinging on its own little handle. This is the piece island women bought at the height of the basket-jewelry era, and you almost never see one come up."
