Silver Matchbox Cover

Informed by classic Navajo silversmith designs from the late-19th and early-20th centuries, these matchbox covers are handmade from German silver-an alloy containing nickel and copper, and feature hand-tooled motifs.

Our products are crafted from German silver: an alloy containing nickel and copper. Each piece is handmade and hand finished. They have a substantial heft and feel solid in your hand. With an applied “vintage finish”, these items look like they could have passed thru a trading post at some point in their past. 

J. Alexander Rustic Silver items are made one at a time. Each piece is crafted and hand tooled by artisans using techniques that have been around for generations. Each J. Alexander Silver piece will be slightly unique and has a finish that looks somewhat vintage. The turquoise we use is hand selected at our shop in Dallas and only the best stones make it onto our products. Our inspiration comes from the work of classic Navajo silversmiths from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and we hope our pieces honor that tradition.
