Pretzel Charm - Silver Stainless Steel - 12.2x12.5mm
The Same Pretzel, in Silver
A small pretzel in silver-tone stainless steel with the classic crossed loops, worked as smooth rounded bars rather than a flat cut-out. All three openings are left clear, so light passes right through the knot. It measures 12.2mm wide by 12.5mm tall.
At 1.2g it is light for its size because so much of it is open space. It hangs from a closed round ring and turns freely - the back is the same rounded knot seen from the other side, so there is no wrong way for it to face.

Choose Charm only to add it to a bracelet you already own. Charm + Clasp adds a small lobster clasp so it clips straight on - no pliers, no open links - and it works just as well on a bag, a zip pull, a keyring or a watch strap. Charm + Gold Bracelet or Charm + Silver Bracelet pairs it with our Gold or Silver Paperclip Chain Bracelet - fine-gauge stainless steel, adjustable from 16cm to 20cm. Bought as a set they cost 30% less than buying separately.
The pretzel is one of the oldest shaped breads still made, and the crossed loops were read as arms folded in prayer long before anyone sold them at a stall. German and Alsatian bakers took it as their guild sign, which is why it still hangs outside bakeries. In silver it reads quieter - craft rather than treat. A gift for the baker, or the person who queues for good bread. More motif meanings at JewelMotif™ · Watch & read: Silver: The Moon Metal
No stones and no enamel, so nothing can work loose, and stainless steel does not tarnish, rust or turn skin green. The three openings and the crossings hold soap - rinse it under a warm tap, dry it properly, and the knot stays crisp. Full guidance at our Stainless Steel Care Card and the JewelCare™ hub.
FAQs
1. Is this real silver?
No, and that is deliberate. It is silver-tone stainless steel, which will not tarnish the way sterling silver does and needs no polishing.
2. Is there a gold version?
Yes - the same pretzel in gold tone is IHSMC120.
3. Is it open all the way through?
Yes. All three loops are open, so you can see straight through the knot.
4. It reacts slightly to a magnet - is that a problem?
No. Cast stainless steel normally contains a small amount of ferrite, deliberately, because it stops the metal cracking as it solidifies - that is what a magnet finds. Brass and copper are entirely non-magnetic, so a magnetic response actually rules them out. Full explanation in Is Magnetic Stainless Steel Jewellery Fake?.
5. Does it arrive gift-ready?
Yes - every order is packed to give. See JewelGift™.
