Crooked Man Charm Sterling Silver | Nursery Rhyme Jewelry | Story Tale Jewelry
Historians have linked the crooked man to Sir Alexander Leslie, the Scottish general whose 17th-century political dealings with England gave rise to a treaty — and, possibly, to the rhyme's recurring crookedness as a metaphor for compromise and political maneuvering. Whatever the origin, the verse has outlasted any controversy, and this 3D charm captures the figure in his characteristic bent posture with the subtle detail that lost-wax casting makes possible.

Measuring 7/8" x 1/2" and weighing 3.2 grams, it's slender enough to fit comfortably on a bracelet without dominating the other charms. The mirror-bright hand finish — 8+ hours of filing, progressive-grit sanding, tripoli, and rouge — gives the sterling silver a surface that machine-polished pieces simply don't produce. Made in USA.
Nursery rhyme collectors, history-curious jewelry wearers, and anyone building a Mother Goose charm bracelet will want this alongside pieces like Little Boy Blue and Mother Hubbard. It also works on a necklace chain or paired as earrings with ear wires. The sterling silver jump ring is already attached.
