Backpack Charm Sterling Silver | Hiking Jewelry | Made in USA

A hiker's backpack — buckles, straps, and all — cast in 3.5 grams of solid .925 sterling silver and Made in USA. This 3D charm carries the weight of real silver, just like a loaded pack on the trail.

At 3.5 grams, this charm is solid through and through. The copper alloy in our sterling silver contains no nickel — a real advantage when up to 20% of the population has nickel sensitivity. Overseas silver often uses nickel as a cheap substitute in the alloy.

The modern frame backpack evolved from the Trapper Nelson packboard of the 1920s into the technical packs used by through-hikers on the Appalachian Trail and Pacific Crest Trail today. This charm captures the main compartment, side pockets, compression straps, and top lid at 3/8" x 1/2". A sterling silver jump ring comes included and attached.

Perfect for hikers, backpackers, trail runners, or anyone planning their next through-hike. Makes a meaningful graduation gift for someone heading out on a gap-year adventure, a PCT completion keepsake, or a bracelet charm for the trail-obsessed.
