After
completing courses in Jewelry Design, Diamond Grading, Colored Stone Grading, and Pearl
Grading at the Gemological Institute of America, Glenaan returned to Nantucket with
business savvy, jewelry design experience and a novel idea - a miniature Nantucket
Lightship Basket made of gold. Her original design, a gold basket with a scrimshaw top, opens to reveal
an optional custom quarterboard where the owner's initials are scrimshawed. The gold
baskets contain a tiny penny inside, dated 1977, the year Glenaan designed the first
miniature gold Nantucket Lightship Basket. Glenaan's design has been imitated and copied,
but Nantucket Islanders will tell you that hers is the original and authentic Gold
Miniature Nantucket Lightship Basket.
