Scarf Slide- Bear Paw

Handcrafted Bear Paw Scarf Slide

Make this stamped Scarf Slide- Bear Paw one of your favorite accessories. The crafter made this German Silver slide in the shape of a bear paw.  Then he added stamped designs around the lower edge and a stamped motif at the center.  On the back, the crafter soldered a metal piece that allows the scarf to pass through.

The slide measures approximately 3.5″ long by 3″ wide.  Slide it over your scarf, bandana, or neckerchief to hold it securely in place.  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.
