Description

Sterling silver overlay of bear paws and center medallion with a bear overlay. All turquoise are stabilized stones from the Kingman mine. The 5 millimeter balls on the necklace are sterling silver but not handmade. This piece represents the black bear, which the Cherokee people held in high regard, viewing it as a spirit guide, an ally, and a source of spiritual and practical resources.

About the Artist

I have been creating silver jewelry for over 55 years, primarily selling at musical events and attracting many customers. At that time, I also showcased my work at my mother's beauty shop in Tulsa. Early in my career, I participated in an art show when Wilma Mankiller was Chief. I took a break from the 1980s until 2010, but am back at it now and have perfected my craft while enjoying the process.
