Kachina Charm Sterling Silver | Shalako Dancer | Southwestern Jewelry | Made in USA
Towering above all other figures in the winter solstice ceremony, the Shalako is among the most dramatic Kachina figures — a messenger to the rain gods whose presence is believed to bless newly built homes. That commanding presence is captured here in a narrow, vertical charm measuring 3/8" x 1", the elongated proportions echoing the figure's legendary height. The headdress and ceremonial garments are rendered in three-dimensional relief through the lost-wax process.

At 3.5 grams, this sterling silver piece has the satisfying heft that comes from solid casting rather than hollow pressing. Each charm is individually hand-finished — filed, sanded, and polished through multiple stages — so the mirror surface is earned through craft, not plating. A sterling silver jump ring is already attached.
Wear it alongside other Southwestern charms on a bracelet, or let it stand alone on a chain where the slender vertical form makes a striking pendant. A thoughtful birthday gift for a Southwest art enthusiast, an architect or builder who would appreciate the home-blessing symbolism, or anyone drawn to the ceremonial arts of the Pueblo peoples. Made in USA.
