Sterling Silver KENTUCKY Border-State Confederate Button Civil War Relic Pendant

Sterling Silver KENTUCKY Border-State Confederate Button Civil War Relic Pendant

This listing is for a very unique, hand-made sterling silver pendant, designed for Civil War relic hunters, metal detecting enthusiasts and history buffs in-general. My name is Leonard Short and I have combined my two careers of goldsmith/jewelry designer and artifact restoration to create a line of metal detecting jewelry.

• This pendant is a precision replica, modeled from a Civil War era State of KENTUCKY Coat of Arms button (Alberts KY1 / Tice KY200A) that was worn during the American Civil War by KENTUCKY troops, as the subject!

• This pendant is NOT an actual Civil-War period artifact!!

• This particular variant of KENTUCKY militia button was manufactured by the Scovill Button Company in Waterbury Connecticut during the 1850s and into the early 1860s. Kentucky was designated as one of five border States during the AmericanCivil War, meaning the State was torn between sympathizers for the Union, as well as for the Confederacy.

The button's design incorporates the State's coat of arms, which was adopted in 1792. Kentucky's coat of arms depicts two standing men shaking hands, in a room with bookshelves, a calendar and wall drapes. On the outer perimeter of the button is the motto: "UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL". Ironically, this is the same State motto as another of the five border States: Missouri.

All details of this button's design are sharp and crisp in the execution of the silver pendant replica. The bail on this pendant is uniquely crafted with long-term wear in mind. It has an opening that measures 3mm x 6mm in order to accommodate a very substantial chain. In addition, the bail has my signature, hinge mechanism.

If you are in need of a nice sterling silver chain on which to wear the pendant, please check out my other listings. My recommended chain style for my pendant line is a 2.5 mm diameter sterling silver wheat style chain. There are several listings for the following lengths: 18" , 20", 24” and 30”.

This is a unique pendant design that you will not find anywhere else!

Shipping is $8 in the United States. (Other destinations will require a calculation on shipping).
