Vintage Signed Scrimshaw Pendant – Tall Ship Design

This vintage scrimshaw pendant features an intricately etched tall ship on a teardrop-shaped faux ivory base, signed Serino—a name recognized among collectors of maritime folk art. The artist or studio behind the Serino signature is known for producing detailed scrimshaw-style pieces in the mid-to-late 20th century, often on resin or bone substitute materials that honor the scrimshaw tradition without the use of real ivory.

Discovered at the iconic Brimfield Antiques Market, this pendant is now part of the Vintage R.E.D. found jewelry collection. Shown on a stainless steel ball chain, lending a clean, industrial contrast to its organic, nautical charm. Prefer a different chain? You can select your preferred necklace option from the dropdown menu.

Whether you're a collector, sea lover, or simply drawn to pieces with story and soul, this pendant is a wearable slice of maritime history.
