Snowshoes Charm Sterling Silver | Footwear Jewelry | Made in USA

The sterling alloy used here substitutes copper for nickel in its 7.5% non-silver content — a deliberate choice, since roughly 10–20% of people have nickel sensitivity and some overseas manufacturers use nickel to reduce cost. This charm is hypoallergenic from the day it is cast. At 3.1 grams of solid silver, it has noticeable weight on a bracelet.

Snowshoes rank among the oldest winter survival tools in North America, relied upon by Indigenous peoples long before European contact and later adapted by fur traders and wilderness explorers. The classic teardrop form distributes body weight across the snow surface, allowing travel where boots alone would sink to the knee. A sterling silver jump ring is included and attached, making the charm ready for a bracelet, pendant chain, or paired as earrings with sterling ear wires.
