Silver Bear Necklace with Bamboo Mountain Turquoise

Fine silver bear is textured with the leaf of an oak. The bear stands atop an earthy Bamboo Mountain turquoise stone. Both are set inside a shadow-box-like setting with a decorative outside border. This is a one-of-a-kind creation that speaks to the relationship of our bear relatives with the trees of the forest.

Care information
Care information
Your order will come with a polishing cloth to touch up your jewelry pieces. I oxidize (tarnish) and polish the highlights of most of my jewelry pieces to bring out the texture of the prairie grasses and wildflowers. This oxidation will come off if polished with the cloth. When polishing pieces, polish only the raised surfaces to keep the dark oxidation.
Don't wear jewelry while swimming in a chlorinated pool or hot tub. Be aware that your piece can be damaged by some physical activities.

My Guarantee:
Each piece is made with care. If for any reason a purchase is not what you expected, please contact me for directions on a return. I do think you'll be pleased though.
