This sterling silver charm is in the shape of a giant Sequoia tree, a massive type of redwood found in several U.S. national parks. The charm is two-sided and measures approximately 22mm tall and 9mm wide. This listing contains multiple photos and a detailed description (keep scrolling down for additional information!) If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Material: solid .925 sterling silver
Size (mm): 22mm tall and 9mm wide
Size (inches): about 7/8" tall and 3/8" wide
Made in the USA
Please note that the charm measurements do not include the length of any removable attachments. These will vary some, but a jump ring or split ring would add about 4mm (1/8") onto the overall length, a lobster clasp about 10mm (3/8"), and a large hole bead about 13mm (1/2").

Pick Clasp / Closure:
Select an attachment to go on this charm from the options provided. All are solid .925 sterling silver. If you're not sure which one you need, choose the jump ring. To see samples of the different attachments offered, please refer to the last photo in this listing.
JUMP RING (most popular): slide your charm onto a necklace chain or attach it to a traditional chain style charm bracelet with this option. A jump ring can be opened and closed with pliers. While you don't have to, you could have a jeweler permanently solder the jump ring shut after it's on your bracelet for maximum security. I use a sturdy 18 or 19 gauge jump ring, the 18 whenever possible and the 19 on charms with smaller loops (most common with miniature charms).
SPLIT RING: some people prefer a split ring when attaching a charm to a bracelet. A split ring is similar to a jump ring, but has a double loop like a keychain. I use a 6mm split ring on all charms that will fit one, and smaller rings when necessary.
LOBSTER CLASP: people who like to change their charms frequently may prefer this option, as you can quickly clip it on and off your jewelry. I use a small 9mm lobster clasp for these. As this is a smaller clasp, it will fit on many traditional chain style bracelets, but not on thick or European style chains.
PENDANT BAIL: adding a pendant bail to a charm gives it a nice, finished look if you intend to use the charm as a pendant on a necklace. A charm with a pendant bail attached will arrive ready to slide on a chain for a unique necklace! The bail (see example #6 in the last photo above) is a little less than 10mm tall and 4mm wide, the opening is about 2mm x 4mm, so it will fit on chains or cords measuring less than 2mm wide. The pendant bail may vary slightly from the one shown. Please note that miniature charms may have a miniature pendant bail attached instead (#5 in the photo above), which measures a bit smaller than the other bail but has a similar sized opening.
LARGE HOLE BEAD: these are necessary if you wish to add the charm to a European style charm bracelet, the other attachment options will not work with those. The bead has an inner diameter just under 6mm across and will fit on popular brands of European style bracelets and thicker chains or cord. You can pick the bead style you want from the following options, just leave me a note when you checkout with your choice (pictures of these can be found in the last photo above). If you don't indicate a preference, I will pick one for you.
A = Narrow plain
B = Narrow beaded
C = Curved inwards
D = Beaded (most popular)
E = Spiral
F = Textured inner band
G = Banded
H = Rectangles with square cutouts
I = Triangles with cutouts
J = Southwestern style cutout
K = Arrow / arrowhead cutout
L = Squared
M = Plain
N = Dotted
ADD NECKLACE CHAIN: select this if want to receive a complete necklace! The necklace is a simple, narrow sterling silver chain, and you can choose a 16", 18" or 20" length for the same price. If you don't indicate a preference, I will use an 18" chain and the charm will be added to it with a pendant bail. The finished necklace will be mailed in a gift box.
ADD BRACELET CHAIN: select this if want to receive a complete bracelet! The bracelet is sterling silver, a popular 4.2mm double link style with a lobster clasp, and you can choose a length up to 8" for the same price. If you don't indicate a preference, I will use a 7" chain and the charm will be added to it with a split ring. The finished bracelet will be mailed in a gift box.

Shipping:
Most items from my store, including charms, qualify for flat rate shipping. The shopping cart will automatically combine multiple purchases from my store into one order. My processing time to prepare this item for shipment may vary, please refer to the Shipping & Policies tab on this page for the "Ready to ship in" time frame. If you are in a rush and need a faster processing time than what is shown, please contact me in advance to find out whether an expedited processing time is possible. Once an order has been processed and shipped, standard shipping (USPS First Class mail) averages 2-5 business days for delivery within the U.S. While this timing is accurate for most orders, the U.S. post office does NOT guarantee delivery times for First Class or Priority mail, so neither can I. Due to recent restructuring within the postal system and closures of distribution centers, a small number of First Class and Priority packages have been experiencing shipping delays. If you need your package to arrive in a certain time frame, please consider upgrading your shipping. You may select an alternate shipping method in your shopping cart.

For international mail (including Canada), first class delivery is usually within 2-4 weeks. Please note that I have no control over whether your country may or may not charge you importation fees, duties or tariffs when they deliver your package and I am not responsible for those. I also will not falsify customs documents, so please do not ask. Expect shipping delays around the holidays! International mail can move very slowly the entire month of December and beyond.

I can mail your purchase directly to the gift recipient if you wish. Leave me a note at checkout telling me it's a gift so I know not to include an invoice.
