Modern Milagro Quetzalcoatl Charm in Sterling Silver Signed by the Artist
Known as the feathered serpent, Quetzalcoatl has been revered in Mesoamerican cultures since the 5th century. The Aztec culture seems to mention Quetzalcoatl more than others and relates him to the gods of the wind and dawn. He is also associated with merchants, artisans, learning and knowledge. He is quite striking and might appear scary to some, but as a protector to others.
The charm is signed by the artist, but is not hallmarked as sterling silver, although we were told that it was when we purchased them.
Each charm is hand finished and measures 1 inch wide by 7/8 inch high. This is a flat charm which almost makes it appear as a petroglyph of sorts. This might be facing either way.

SilverCrow Exclusive
Special SilverCrow Beaded Sugar Skull Charm with Hand-Painted Accents
More Day of the Dead Sundries
We made these little charms from hand-painted ceramic Sugar Skull Beads and included them in our SilverCrow Day of the Dead Bracelet Kit. We've gotten so many requests for them that we just had to make some to offer to you.
These are created from handmade beads from Peru that have been hand painted, then we created a loop of beads to change it into a charm! The bead measures about 3/4 inch high by 1/2 inch wide. The loop makes it about 1 inch high (give or take a few millimeters).
Each one is completely different from the next due to the selection of the beads and the handmade nature of the charm. We're showing 3 charms so that you might see the variability.
Please be careful with these as the beads are ceramic and glass seed beads. Due to the nature of their design, they are not as sturdy as a soldered charm.

Saint Brigid, along with Saint Patrick, is one of the Patron Saints of Ireland. She is also patron to children whose parents are not married, dairy workers, fugitives, travelers, scholars and many more. St Brigid is also known as Brigid of Kildare, where the story of her cross came into being.
The cross of rushes is now made traditionally on February First (Lá Fhéile Bhríde) - her feast day.
Legend has it that a pagan was from nearby was dying and the Christians from his household sent for Brigid to talk to him of Jesus. This was not an easy task as the gentleman was raving mad with pain. The floor was spread with rushes to keep the room warm and clean - as was the custom in the Dark and Middle Ages.
St. Brigid wove some of the stems and wove them into a cross similar to the one replicated by our charm. Supposedly, the pagan was now able to understand the importance of Christianity and was baptized right before he died.

Eat Crow Charm
More Ravens, Crows, & Blackbirds
Whenever I was upset with the way the world was running itself or with the administration of a large corporation or the government or even just my group of friends, my Dad used to say, "Well, Annie, sometimes you just have to eat crow."
That used to drive me crazy because I thought it was inappropriate. Now that he's not here, when I'm upset with the same things, I can hear him giving me the same advice that I don't want to hear. But, I surely wish I could hear it now!
But, you see, I was never wrong, so I just couldn't "eat crow." When we found this charm, I had no choice but to buy it and offer it to you.
I guess sometimes, I should "eat my words" which would be just as distasteful - supposedly - as "eating crow". But, we love crows so much, I'd never even dream of eating one - even figuratively.

Saint Francis of Assisi - (Padre) Saint Pio - Saint Clare Saint Gertrude - Saint Lucy - Saint Veronica

Every one of these is in unused, mint condition and measures 1-1/16 inch long by 13/16 at the widest.

Cool Silvery Working Scissors Charm
More Scissors and Such
Art Doll Supplies
These little scissors really work! They cut through paper nicely. So, when your little doll decides to cut paper snowflakes, s/he'll have just the right tool!
Measuring just 1-1/4 inch long, you might use these as a part of an assemblage necklace or a charm bracelet! There is a tiny notch on the thumb side of the handle that will hold the scissors together until gently pulled apart. We suspect the silvery metal to be aluminum as the scissors don't respond to magnets.
Please be careful with these should you choose to use them in your jewelry-making - we don't want you to injure yourself!

We thought we were ordering our other silver bell charm. And we received this. Rather than return these, we thought you might like them! Fashioned a bit like the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, each little bell has a clapper, but alas, it makes no sound.

Mini Sterling Silver Charm Featuring Our Lady of Carmel
This tiny little charm is the perfect addition to charm earrings, a nicho - particularly if made in our Nicho Necklace! The image of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the Christ Child is strikingly clear in this little 3/8 inch diameter charm.
Our lady of Mount Carmel was the inspiration for the Carmelite Order and is quite nearly always associated with the brown scapular, worn by many devoted Catholics. Mount Carmel is in the Holy Land and this devotion to Mary, or the Blessed Mother, was conceived during chivalric times in devotion to Jesus and his mother (around the late 12th or early 13th century).
In the 14th century, Our Lady of Mount Carmel appeared to Saint Simon Stock, who was then the leader of the Carmelite Order. She presented him with the brown scapular which has defined the robes of the Carmelites since then.
Today, devotion to Mary in this image, with the baby Jesus is widespread.

Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha - Patron of the Environment, Ecology & Loss of Parents
More Native American
Kateri, or Catherine, Tekakwitha was the daughter of a Christian Native American Algonquin woman who was captured by members of the Iroquois tribe. She was also married to a non-Christian Mohawk chief. She was orphaned at the age of four, during a smallpox epidemic - and that is why she is the patron of those who have lost her parents.
She survived smallpox, but was left with a scarred face and impaired eyesight. Kateri was converted and baptized in 1676 by Jesuit missionary, Father Jacques de Lambertville. Her relatives abused and exiled her because of her new faith, but this did not change her mind or sway her strength of conviction.
Three years later she escaped to the Christian Native American village of Sault-Sainte-Marie after surviving a grueling journey of 200 miles of wilderness. She then made vow of chastity.
Known for spirituality, miracles and her austere lifestyle, Kateri's grave became a pilgrimage site and place of miracles for Christian Native Americans and French colonists. She is the first Native American Indian to have been proposed for canonization as a saint.
This highly detailed three dimensional charm measures 3/4 inch high by 1/8 inch wide.

Hand-Made Alpaca Silver Sugar Skull Charm
We were delighted to find these wonderful Alpaca silver charms! Made to resemble festive sugar skulls each is created by hand - shaped, stamped and etched to create a very special image. So, although they are all similar, each is a touch different from the next because of the nature of artisan-made charms.
There is a hanging hole at the top. And the eyes and nose are open as well to add an fun airy look. These are substantial, but still light enough to make earrings. Each measures about 1-3/16 inch long by 13/15 inch at the widest part.
Each of these is hand-made so they will vary slightly. Please let us choose for you.
This lovely piece is made of Alpaca silver (also known as German silver). It is an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc (and contains little or no true silver). This keeps it from tarnishing or rusting, but it might dull over time and need a polishing. Please consider that it may cause a reaction to those who may be sensitive to nickel.

Vintage Mechanical Plastic Turtles from the 1960s

These great little old-stock mechanical turtles arrived after a long hibernation in storage. Meant for the vending machines of the 1960s, these little fellows have a wiggly tail and head. They were probably only a penny (or at most a nickel) way back when a small coin could get a ton of loot for kids who knew where to look!
These are in great condition for their age, but be careful with them because they certainly weren't designed to last. There is a little loop hole on the bottom of each - so you can even turn one into a charm.
We've crated each one in a tiny reusable plastic case to protect him on his way to you. These are in assorted colors only - some are two-tone (head and tail one color and shell another) and some are all one color. There are so many variations, please let SilverCrow choose one for you.

Reversible Black Plastic Perfume Cat Charm
More Cats
Back in the 1960s, many lovely accoutrements appeared with standard perfume bottles to entice you to buy them. Max Factor's Hypnotique Perfume was one of them.
