Chaps Charm Sterling Silver | Western Rodeo Cowboy | Country Equestrian Jewelry | Made in USA

The Chaps -- cast in solid .925 sterling silver and proudly Made in USA.

This casting method dates back over six millennia to the goldsmiths of ancient Mesopotamia, and the process has changed remarkably little since. At 2.3 grams, this charm has the solid heft of genuine sterling silver -- a clear difference from the hollow, featherlight imports that dominate the market.

Chaps (from the Spanish 'chaparreras') are the quintessential piece of cowboy workwear, originally designed to protect a rider's legs from thorny brush and rope burns. Real working chaps are made from thick leather with fringe that sheds rain and mud. This charm captures the fringed silhouette in three-dimensional detail, with a sterling silver jump ring attached.

Makes a thoughtful gift for a birthday gift for a horse lover, a riding instructor's thank-you, or a rodeo keepsake. Wear it on a charm bracelet with other equestrian pieces, or string it on a chain as a standalone pendant.
