Grateful Dead Terrapin Station Necklace in Solid Sterling Silver

This sterling silver banjo pendant takes its design from the terrapin, one of the most recognizable emblems in Grateful Dead lore. Cast in solid sterling silver, it measures about 3/4" wide by 1 1/2" tall, with enough weight to feel substantial and a finish that holds up to daily wear. It suits concert nights and ordinary days alike, and it makes a considered gift for a longtime Deadhead.

Choose the pendant alone for your own chain, or add an 18" or 20" sterling silver chain.

The History Behind the Symbol

Terrapin Station was released in 1977 and was the band’s first album for Arista Records. Its title suite, with lyrics by Robert Hunter and music by Jerry Garcia, is among the most ambitious compositions in the Grateful Dead catalog. It was recorded with orchestral and choral arrangements by Paul Buckmaster, a departure from the band’s usual sound. Hunter’s story is set at a place called Terrapin Station, which listeners often read as a destination for inspiration and arrival. Kinuko Y. Craft painted the cover artwork.

The banjo points to Garcia’s roots. Before the Grateful Dead, he was a dedicated bluegrass banjo player, and he returned to the instrument in the 1970s with Old & In the Way. Pairing the terrapin with the banjo connects the band’s most storied album to the music that shaped its founder.
