Chakra Zuni Spirit Bear Necklace, Red Creek Jasper Rainbow Jewelry

 

The meaningful "Chakra Bear" necklace features an artisan handmade / hand painted spirit bear pendant, red creek jasper heishe and copper - unique gift for women.

Filled with the earthiness of the Desert Southwest and the mindfulness of yoga, the CHAKRA BEAR handmade necklace is a true jewelry beauty. The focal of the one of a kind necklace is a hand painted copper spirit bear which is perfectly complemented by red creek jasper heishe gemstones and copper beads. The Zuni-inspired bear pendant was artisan created from beginning to end from copper precious metal clay.  The copper pendant was given a darker patina and then polished to bring out the wavy line detailing on the bear’s body. The “wheel” near the bear’s belly was hand painted in meaningful chakra / rainbow colors. To keep the pendant bright and beautiful for years to come, it was coated with a glossy sealant.  Red creek jasper heishe highlights the beauty of the spirit bear pendant. As you can see in the photos, the natural earthy colors of the red creek jasper are breathtaking: burnt reds, sage greens, olive greens, tans, grays and mustard yellows. The small disc shaped heishe beads were hand cut so are not all exactly the same shape and size (although they are very close), something that adds rustic appeal to the necklace design. Copper bicone beads with small copper round beads were scattered through the heishe to keep the necklace with a sinuous flow.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the CHAKRA BEAR necklace is a perfect gift for anyone who loves the Desert Southwest and loves the combination of yoga chakras with the symbolism of a spirit bear.

The artisan handmade spirit bear pendant was painted with chakra / rainbow colors.
