Sterling Silver Cawing Crow Charm

You'll just love this little cawing crow or raven charm. Not only can s/he stand on his own two feet, s/he has some sort of message to deliver. We were delighted to find this open-mouthed crow charm - and in sterling silver! Measuring 3/4 inch from the tip of the beak to tail feathers, s/he stands about 1/2 inch high. The 3-dimensional charm looks great when added to a charm bracelet, or even on a simple chain or black ribbon as a necklace.

Natural Beetle Wings
Beetle Wing Pin
These delicate yet strong natural beetle wings are from the Thai Emerald Beetle (sternaceras echisinata/acquisagnata). For years they have been used traditionally as jewelry and ornament. The wing is curved slightly toward the back, just as on the beetle. The beetles die after reproducing, and the Hill Tribes in the northern forests of Thailand consider them good luck and wear them in many manners.
Their natural iridescent color is just tremendous. Each one has a small hole in the wider end, ready to use in your project. Because these are so lightweight, they make wonderful earring components. Of course, each of these is different because they are natural. Wing sizes average around 1-1/4 inch long by 3/8 inch wide.

What fun! Add a black ribbon or a ball chain and voilà - a special Hallowe'en necklace! Add him to a bracelet or, even better dangle him with some black crystals for a special pair of spooky earrings!
This skeleton charm or pendant is articulated (movable) - in fact, he was so movable we had a heck of a time measuring him. With 13 joints - he'll move around, for sure!
When we finally got him to stand still, he measured 1/2 inch wide 1-1/2 inch tall (not including the loop or bail - they add another 1/2 inch to the height). The nicely sized bail is soldered to create a secure pendant. To make a charm, just remove the bail.

Silvery Milagro Eye Charm
More Milagros, Medals, Amulets & Talismans
While this is not really a milagro, it resembles one. Double eye milagros generally represent a connection to the popular Santa Lucia, who suffered blindness while being executed. In the end God restored her eyesight.
The single eye might also venerate St Lucy, but more likely, it represents the spirits watching over us. When added to the frame of a picture of a departed one, the eye acts as an angel's eye - watching over the spirit of the beloved ancestor. It may have some connection to the evil eye talismans, but this is not certain.
This little charm measures 5/8 inch wide by about 1/4 inch high without the loop.

Silvery Venus de Milo Charm
Michelangelo's David Charm
More French Items
Venus de Milo is also known as Aphrodite of Milos. She is an ancient Greek statue - in fact, one of the most recognizable sculptures in the world. Not too much is known of this glorious piece of art. Since it was found in the late 1800s, it has been believed that she is Venus (Roman) or Aphrodite (Greek).
Made of marble, she is slightly larger than life at 6-3/4 feet high. Her arms are missing as is her base. On display in the Louvre in Paris, there is much controversy over the sculptor, but it is thought to be Alexandros of Antioch because of an inscription on the her now missing plinth.
Our little charm is made of lead-free pewter and measures 1 inch high not including the loop and about 3/8 inch wide.

Silvery Swallow Charm
More Birds
Of course we love flying birds, especially silvery ones, at SilverCrow. This little swallow measures about 1-7/8 inch high and 1-7/8 wide. Swallows do not have the stamina to fly very far, so they are often associated with staying close to home. Because of this, many sailors have chosen them as symbols in their tattoos.
Price: 98¢ each
Silvery Hearse Charm
The image of a 1963 hearse has been made into a charm. It measures about 25mm long. We know this is irreverent, but we liked the look of the vehicle, so we decided that it might just be the right addition to a special project.

Tiny Plastic Bunny with Skis Charm
He's only about 7/9 inch high, but he packs a lot of fun in that little yellow backpack of his! This little charm is a design from the early to mid-20th century and was hand-painted! Made of composition (an earlier plastic), he's as sweet as sweet can be walking along carrying his skis. He is 3D (not flat on the back) and sports an exciting green and red suit with black shoes!
These sweet little charms are created by a small family run company in Germany. Skilled artisans, using old-world techniques and plenty of time, have been creating these miniatures for over 70 years. The exquisite quality of these miniatures comes directly from the workmanship of the molds, tools and especially from the artisans who create them.

Reach for the Stars Charm
More Celestial Items
More Graduation
What better advice than this:
REACH FOR THE STARS
This lovely charm is fashioned from lead-free pewter and measures about 7/8 inch high by 5/8 inch wide. The hanging loop is in the back, so that it will also double as a small pendant or focal point of a necklace. There is also a tiny hold in the back that allows you to add a charm or bead to hang between the two bottom points of the star. But, if you choose not to do so, the hole is hardly visible.
Because of the great message impressed into the front, this makes a wonderful addition to a baby gift or collage, or, indeed, a graduation present. We're sure you'll find many uses.

Saint Thérèse Charm

Born to a middle-class French family in 1873, St. Thérèse (also known as St Theresa) lost her mother to cancer at a very young age. And, at 8, she was cured of a serious illness at age 8 when a statue of the Blessed Mother smiled at her.
Because of her modesty and empathy for others, she has come to be known as the patron saint of those who suffer from AIDS, of missions, religious freedoms and aircraft workers.
We love this little silvery medal because of the non-traditional shape and the extra detail. It measures about 23 mm high.

Golden Saint Simon Charm
Also known as Maximon, Hermano San Simon is known both as a saint and as a representation of a pre-Columbian Mayan god of the underworld. He is generally represented in 20th century clothing, with a wide-brimmed hat. He is known to represent male power, balancing a moneybag, holding a flag and holding coins in his open hand.
His feast day is at the beginning of the rainy season in South America, and so he is often associated with fertility. He is thought to bring rain and fertility.
Some even call him the patron saint of gamblers, smokers and drunkards. Because of this, he is still worshiped in many Guatemalan villages with offerings of tobacco, alcohol, Coca-Cola and tropical plants. San Simon is pictured smoking and holding a bottle of liquor, beer or wine.
He is thought to wealth and worldly success to those who venerate him, so he is certainly not a traditional saint!
Our gold-plated charm measures about 1-1/2 inches high (including the loop) and about 3/4 inch wide.

Mini Sterling Silver Saint Jude Charm
St Jude Statue
Sterling Silver Guadalupe Charm
Saint Jude is the Patron Saint of lost or impossible causes. It is believed that this patronage has been derived from the confusion by many early Christians between Jude and Judas not understanding the difference in the names.
No one ever prayed for Jude's help, and devotion to him became something of a lost cause. Made famous by comedian Danny Thomas, St Jude has come to represent hope and much more than just lost causes. St Jude's Children's Research Hospital, created by Danny Thomas after his prayer was heard, provides treatment for children who suffer from catastrophic medical conditions, without regard to the family's ability to pay.
This tiny little charm is the perfect addition to charm earrings, a nicho - particularly if made in our Nicho Necklace! The image is strikingly clear in this little 3/8 inch diameter charm.

Generally an evil look is associated with ill will or bad luck, so these little eyes will turn away such looks and give you protection from the infamous evil eye.

Oxidized Silvery Chai Charm
This well known symbol, seen worldwide on ornaments, jewelry, T-Shirts and more, is the Hebrew word for living - Chai. It is a combination of the two Hebrew letters Cheit and Yod.
As with any symbol there are many interpretations. Our favorite is that this simple symbol represents the importance of life. The symbol is specific to Jewish culture, but it has been slipping into other cultures easily. The well-know Jewish toast l'chayim means to life. The numerical representation of Chai is 18, so gifts to charity are routinely given in multiples of 18.
Our little charm is made of oxidized silvery metal measures about 5/16 inch high by 1/2 inch wide.
