- Legend has it that Irish sailors and fisherman
brought this craft over from Ireland. Baskets were woven while
at sea or to pass the time by lighthouse keepers. Some were used
on a pulley system so that messages could be passed back and
forth between loved ones. Many refer to them as nantucket jewelry,
nantucket lighthouse baskets, Nantucket lightship baskets or
just lighthouse basket jewelry! Call them what you like, we know
what you mean! There are various other patterns and sizes from
charms for a bracelet to opening baskets for pendants.
