Scarf Slide- Manta Ray Shape

Manta Ray Shape Scarf Slide

This Scarf Slide- Manta Ray Shape will make an unusual addition to your collection or accessories.  The crafter made this piece from German Silver.  He stamped a waterbird motif in the center and added a small triangular piece at the bottom to mimic a tail.  Additional stamped designs add to its unique, handmade appeal.  The slide measures approximately 4.5″ long by 4″ wide.  A previous owner wore this piece, but it remains in very good, usable condition.

Scarf slides—also known as scarf rings or scarf holders—serve as decorative accessories that keep your scarf positioned neatly. Simply thread your scarf through the opening and place it where you want it.

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.
