Shield Charm Sterling Silver | Southwestern Jewelry | Made in USA
A painted shield did double duty on the Plains and in the Southwest: it guarded its bearer in battle, and it announced exactly who he was — clan, accomplishments, and the spirit powers he claimed. Few motifs in Indigenous-inspired jewelry are as personal as a shield design.

This interpretation is small and light: 1/2" by 3/4" and just 1.2 grams, flat-cast in .925 sterling silver. The size hides nothing — crisp incised geometry covers the face, and hand finishing smooths every edge to a clean polish. Made in USA from wax model to final buff.
Because it weighs so little, it's ideal for earring projects and for bracelets already crowded with charms; it adds meaning without adding heft. On a thin chain it becomes a minimalist talisman of protection.
Give it to someone walking into a hard season — a new job, a deployment, a recovery — as a wearable piece of armor. A matching sterling jump ring hangs ready.
