Scarf Slide- Cross & Moon

German Silver Scarf Slide with a Heart Cutout

This Scarf Slide – Cross & Moon features a heart cutout in the center.  The crafter made it with German silver.  He flared the bottom slightly and stamped both sides with a decorative pattern. He added additional stamped designs across the front, including a star‑like motif at the top. On the reverse, you’ll find his maker’s mark, RR.  The crafter soldered a metal loop  on the back so your scarf can glide through easily.

The slide measures approximately 3 inches tall and 1.75 inches wide at its widest point.

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.
