Blue Blotter Chaney Pendant

Unique pieces of china (circa 1750-1900) found on the beaches and grounds of old sugar plantations on St. Croix. Historically, when local children found them, they would round them out by pounding them against stones and use them as play money in games. The name Chaney is evolved from the words china and money. Often found after hurricanes, heavy rains or a stroll on our beautiful beaches, the artisan then hand crafts these pieces into jewelry reminiscent of the culture and history of the Caribbean islands.
