A mystical bear climbs a scared tree while magical energy swirls all around on this bear necklace. No mater if you feel that bear is your totem or spirit animal or if you just have an affinity for bears, this spirit animal bear pendant is for you. The symbolism of the bear includes that of a introspection and discernment. The bear is a bringer of knowledge with the ability to apply it, he goes within to make dreams a reality and awakes the power of the unconscious. The scrolls and swirls on the bear and in the background show the mystical nature of this spirit animal.
The overall totem, sterling silver animal jewelry pendant size is 1 3/4 inches by 1 inch wide, the tube bail is 3/4 of an inch wide, the bear medallion is 1 inch round (a little larger than a quarter). The swirls in the background of the bear are echoed in the swirl tube bail or you may choose the log tube bail which is perfect for the woodland theme of the animal pendant. Both bails are the same width, accept a thick 4mm cord order and are Pandora friendly. A dark patina has been applied to enhance the detail and give contrast to this magical piece of fantasy jewelry. The angled view of the woodland pendant shows the dimension of the piece.
Want more options? I can also hang the climbing bear medallion from a bail that has an 8mm stone accent, $178.00. Want to keep it simple? Then I can just attach a simple jump ring that a cord can fit through, $98.00. Please note, some of the above photos may show different animals then the listing, they are included to show the available bail styles. If you are ordering one of the tube bails or a jump ring select "NO STONE" from the drop down menu.
As with all of my work this piece of woodland jewelry is my original design was created using the lost wax method. I first start by doing a detailed drawing of my intended subject. Then I sculpt my design in wax. I start with overall shape and form, then adding detail such as facial features, fur and scrolls. After the wax sculpture is complete it is cast in sterling silver, excess metal is removed, rough polished, linked together, soldered, patina applied, then completed by a final polish and a coating of Renaissance Wax hand polished for a soft satin glow. It is a time consuming process, but one that I thoroughly enjoy. For more detailed information on my wax sculpting and casting process go to www.mysticswan.biz and look at the "Creation Process" and "Wax Sculpting" sections. The only purchased parts of this handmade fantasy necklace is the jump ring and leather cord.
Take the magical energy of this totem animal with you into everyday life.
