1st Prize Ribbon Charm Sterling Silver | First Place Show | Made in USA

A first-place prize ribbon — the iconic rosette with streaming tails — cast in .925 sterling silver and Made in USA at 3/4" x 3/8".

Lost-wax casting preserves the ribbon's pleated rosette center, the "1st" designation, and the flowing ribbon tails in dimensional relief. At 2.2 grams, this solid sterling charm captures the triumphant weight of winning. Hand-finishing through progressive polishing stages creates a bright, celebratory surface.

The blue ribbon tradition traces back to 16th-century England and the Order of the Garter — the highest order of chivalry. In America, the blue ribbon became synonymous with first place at county fairs, livestock shows, science fairs, and competitions of every kind. It remains the universal symbol of excellence and achievement.

Perfect for equestrians, show dog handlers, science fair winners, baking competition champions, or anyone celebrating a hard-won first place. Arrives with a sterling silver jump ring attached, ready for a charm bracelet, pendant, or award shadow box.
