Scarf Slide with Crosses This Scarf Slide Crosses features an open face slide. The crafter cut two large openings in the German Silver slide for your scarf to go through.  He added small stamped crosses to the top.  Additional stamping details include feather designs on either side, a crescent moon on the top and stamping around the bottom edge.  He attached a stamped star shape to the bottom.   This piece measures 3 inches long and 2.25 inches wide at the bottom. One of a Kind. German silver scarf slides trace their history to 18th‑century Europe, where metalworkers developed nickel silver for bright, durable ornamentation. By the 19th century, the alloy appeared in jewelry, buckles, and small fittings, which helped establish its role in modern accessories. Scarf slides gained popularity in the early 20th century, especially in Scouting, because metal versions offered strength and easy engraving. As German silver moved through trade networks, Native American artisans adopted the alloy for regalia and created scarf slides, conchos, and pins with stamped cultural motifs. Today, German silver scarf slides blend European metallurgy with Indigenous artistry to produce functional pieces rooted in long craft traditions. Shop for more Accessories.
