Historical Significance: This pendant is inspired by coins from the Nuestra Señora de Atocha, a Spanish galleon lost in 1622 off the Florida Keys. The ship, which was caught in a fierce hurricane, was carrying over 160,000 precious “pieces of eight” among its treasures. When the wreck was discovered, it revealed a trove of historic coins. Our collection features high-quality recast Atocha coins, created with a portion of the silver recovered from the sunken ship.  Each pendant represents a unique piece of history and will satisfy the treasure hunter in all of us.
