Absolutely fabulous Native American inspired turquoise necklace with large alabaster bear. Beautiful large hand carved bear with Zuni style heartline inlay, representing life force and spiritual power. The accent silver beads test as sterling silver.
Lovely condition, it comes in an eco friendly gift box.
Length approx 54cm with 4.7cm bear.
I have described this piece as Native American inspired as I’m unsure as to its origin. In recognition of the cultural tradition behind its design, Magpie’s Nest will donate 5% of the sale price to First Peoples Fund, a Native-led organisation supporting Indigenous artists and communities.
