This exceptional handmade Navajo sterling silver bear pendant by Alonzo Mariano is a striking piece of authentic Southwestern artistry, signed on the back by the artist and bearing its $550 price tag. Expertly handcrafted in sterling silver, the pendant features four intricately cut bear figures surrounding a central bear paw symbol, representing strength, courage, and protection in Native symbolism. Deep oxidized accents create dramatic contrast against the mirror-polished silver, while traditional hand-stamped Navajo designs encircle the pendant and adorn the substantial 14.7mm bail. Measuring approximately 2.69” long including the bail, with a 1.91” circumference and .30” depth, this bold statement piece pairs beautifully with Navajo pearls and showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and timeless character of authentic Navajo silverwork. The pendant weighs 19.6 grams. Please note: this listing is for the pendant only. The 6mm Navajo pearls are available in a separate listing.
