At the northern tip of the Outer Banks, where the dunes give way to the marshes of Corolla and the wild horses still roam the beach, the Currituck Beach Lighthouse rises 162 feet in its distinctive unpainted red brick — the only major lighthouse on the North Carolina coast that was never whitewashed. It has guided mariners since 1875 and for the generations of families who have made the journey north to Corolla, it is one of the most warmly beloved landmarks on the entire Outer Banks. There is something about that brick tower against the sky — warm, honest, completely itself — that stays with you long after you have driven back across the bridge.
Nautora's Currituck Lighthouse Bell Necklace is an absolutely adorable three-dimensional sterling silver mini bell pendant designed and crafted by jewelry artisan J Nautora — and it is one of the most charming pieces in the entire lighthouse collection. Every detail of the actual Currituck Beach Lighthouse has been faithfully replicated in miniature — the distinctive unpainted brick tower, the lantern room, the gallery — in a delightful piece nearly 1.5 inches tall including the bale that is perfectly proportioned for everyday wear. This is not a souvenir charm. It is a genuinely beautiful piece of jewelry that honors one of the Outer Banks' most beloved landmarks with real craft and real care. Made in the USA.
The most enchanting detail? Tucked inside the hollow sterling silver body is a tiny bell clapper that produces an adorable gentle tap with every movement. It is the kind of detail that makes people lean in and look more closely — and then immediately want one of their own. Turn it over and find the lighthouse's historical information — including its date and height — engraved on the back.
At Nautora, every lighthouse bell is built to heirloom quality — made to be worn and cherished for decades and eventually passed on as a keepsake that carries the memory of Corolla and the Outer Banks in every gentle tap.
If Currituck has ever meant something to you, this charming pendant belongs around your neck. Choose your chain length and bring it home.
