Handmade sometime around the 1920’s is this beautiful example of “old pawn” sterling silver jewelry for an amazing low price.

These old pawn pieces were taken to a Trading Post, where the items were pawned for a certain amount of money and then redeemed when the sum was paid back. Or traded entirely for supplies that were needed to live and work including rope, blankets, food, tools, etc.
