Edelweiss Charm Sterling Silver | Mountain Flower Jewelry | Made in USA

The edelweiss — the high-altitude flower that blooms above the tree line — cast in .925 sterling silver, Made in USA. At 2.7 grams, this flat-profile charm has substance without bulk.

The flat lost-wax casting technique captures the star-shaped petal arrangement and the woolly texture that protects the real flower from alpine UV radiation. Hand-finished with progressive polishing compounds to highlight the petal detail against a bright silver surface.

Measuring 5/8" x 3/4", the flower shows its distinctive felt-like petals radiating from a center cluster. The edelweiss grows only above 5,000 feet in the Alps and has been a symbol of alpine courage since the 19th century — soldiers once risked cliff faces to pick one for a sweetheart.

A meaningful gift for hikers, climbers, Sound of Music fans, or anyone with Austrian, Swiss, or German roots. Sterling silver jump ring attached and ready to wear.
