Native American Child Charm Sterling Silver | Papoose Charm | Made in USA
New parents, grandparents, and collectors of Indigenous-inspired art will all see something different in this Papoose charm — a cradleboard-carried child rendered in full three-dimensional relief in .925 sterling silver, made in the USA. The 5/8" x 7/8" figure weighs 4.4 grams, dense with detail for its size.

Centrifugal casting at roughly 50 G's of force drives molten silver into every contour of the mold, followed by four progressive polishing stages — rough filing, tripoli compound, rouge, and final buffing. No two pieces emerge exactly identical; subtle hand-finishing marks distinguish each one.
In many Indigenous traditions, the papoose represents continuity — new life carried close, protected and cherished. The cradleboard form itself is an ingenious design refined over centuries of practical use across many nations.
An especially meaningful gift for new parents or anyone who collects Southwestern and culturally inspired jewelry. Wear it on a bracelet or pendant chain. A sterling silver jump ring is included and attached.
