This pretty little jet bear pendant would look great on a leather cord or silver chain. It has a gold-lipped Mother of Pearl arrowhead on the left side ... and a Zuni sunface inlaid (of Mother of Pearl, turquoise, red coral and jet) on the right side. Fitted with a sterling silver wire bail, the measuements are 1 1/16 long and 1 1/16 tall with the bail.

Darrin is married to Judith Homer and his carving cousins include Colleen and Emery Boone as well as Loren Boone. He is best known for his inlaid bears and turtles, which come in a variety of sizes. We have another bear pendant in this showing, #9660, that is equally as pretty. Unsigned.

BEAR: The bear represents the western direction in a protective and healing fetish set. He is associated with the color blue and known for his curative powers. Though all bears are healers, white bears are particularly powerful. Characteristics associated with bears include strength, courage, adaptability, healing and spiritual communion.
