Concho Charm Sterling Silver | Southwestern Jewelry | Made in USA

A centrifugal caster spins the mold at roughly 50 G's of force, driving molten silver into the finest undercuts and textures of the wax original. Progressive hand-polishing -- from coarse filing through tripoli compound to a final rouge buff -- gives each piece its distinctive mirror finish.

The concho (from the Spanish 'concha,' meaning shell) has been a defining element of Southwestern jewelry and leatherwork since the 1860s. Originally adapted from Spanish colonial silver work, conchos were hammered into decorative discs for belts, bridles, and hatbands. This charm reproduces the classic concho's radiating pattern in sterling silver, with a jump ring attached.

Add it to a charm bracelet for dimension and character, or wear it alone on a chain as a pendant. A thoughtful choice for anyone who appreciates handcrafted silver jewelry, a collector of unique charms, or a meaningful themed gift.
