Mountain Goat sterling silver clip charm .925 Goats charms

This a lovely Mountain Goat sterling silver charm on a clip fitting. Few animals are as fearless as the mountain goat. It lives on steep rocky ledges and cliff faces where almost nothing else dares to go. This sterling silver charm shows one in fine detail, with a shaggy beard and short, sturdy horns. The North American mountain goat lives high in the Rocky Mountains, and it isn’t actually a true goat. It belongs to a group known as goat-antelopes and is more closely related to the chamois of the Alps. Both males and females have beards and short, dagger-like horns. Their thick white double coat protects them from freezing winds and deep snow. Their real secret is in their feet. Each hoof is split in two and has a rough, rubbery pad that grips rock like the sole of a climbing boot. This lets them balance on the narrowest ledges and leap across gaps with amazing confidence. Kids can be climbing within hours of being born. Closer to home, wild goats are part of the landscape in Snowdonia and on the Great Orme at Llandudno, where they roam the crags and are a much-loved sight for visitors. Goats have long been symbols of determination, independence and sure-footed ambition, so this charm is a meaningful gift for anyone climbing towards a goal. It’s perfect for Capricorns, hikers, climbers and mountain lovers, or as a lucky charm for a new challenge. Made from solid 925 sterling silver, it makes a characterful addition to any charm bracelet.
