Spanish Shipwreck Silver Jewelry Fragment (c. 1700s–1800s

This authentic fragment of Spanish shipwreck silver jewelry dates back to the 1700s–1800s, offering a tangible connection to the age of transatlantic trade and maritime disaster.

Crafted from silver mined in the Americas and intended for European markets, this piece was lost at sea when its vessel was caught in the Great Hurricane of 1810. The ship ultimately sank off the east coast of Florida alongside several others, becoming part of a historic shipwreck site.

Recovered decades later by metal detectorists along Florida’s shoreline in the 1960s, this fragment carries both historical and archaeological significance. Its aged surface and intricate remaining structure reflect centuries beneath the sea.

Housed in a protective display case, this piece makes a compelling addition to any collection of shipwreck artifacts, maritime history, or early colonial trade relics.
