Sterling & Stone Zuni Bear Earrings

Vintage Native Zuni Bear Earrings with inlaid gemstones and engraved heart line. In the Native culture the Bear is a powerful fetish spirit that represents healing & protection. Also refered to as a medicine bear. The Heartline symbolizes the life force that all living things possess. 

A bezel set inlaid stone of Turquoise, Spiny Oyster & Coral adds beautiful color.

I replaced the original ear wires with solid  Sterling Silver Ear wires that I hand formed and hammered for texture.

These are stamped Sterling and has the Artists hallmark.

In perfect condition. They have been cleaned and polished. Will come with rubber ear wire nuts, and will be wrapped in a gift box.
