Banjo Terrapin Pendant

Banjo Terrapin Pendant – Officially Licensed

This pendant celebrates the timeless imagery of the Terrapin, one of the most beloved icons in the Grateful Dead universe. The round sterling silver frame holds a polished backdrop of luminous mother of pearl, creating a radiant stage for the inlay design. At its heart, a green terrapin stands upright, cradling a banjo in perfect harmony, a tribute to both the band’s music and the enduring spirit of Terrapin Station.

The shell of the terrapin is inlaid with subtle shifting tones of pink and brown, balanced by deep black jet outlines that give the figure structure and depth. Its banjo glimmers with highlights of silver and pale shell, while each string detail is precisely rendered, capturing the motion and joy of the instrument. The background glows with iridescent fire, shifting in light as the pendant is worn, evoking the feeling of a stage under shifting spotlights.

Every curve and color has been carefully composed to reflect not only the imagery of the Terrapin, but also the Grateful Dead’s blend of storytelling, art, and music. This design merges traditional silverwork with a sense of playful mysticism, a piece that feels equally at home in the concert lot, on stage, or in everyday wear.

An officially licensed Grateful Dead creation, this Banjo Terrapin Pendant is both jewelry and tribute—an emblem of the enduring magic of the Dead’s universe and a keepsake that celebrates the power of music, art, and imagination.
