1 Strand Fetish Necklace with all Bears

A striking piece for collectors and lovers of Native American-inspired jewelry, this 1 Strand Fetish Necklace with all Bears captures the quiet power of the animal symbolism at the heart of Zuni-style design. Crafted as a single, uninterrupted strand, it features 19 hand-carved bear fetishes that invite closer inspection and appreciation.

• 19 hand-carved bear fetishes form the centerpiece of the strand, each bear etched with careful detail to convey character and presence.

• Sterling silver conical ends frame the strand with a clean, reflective finish that enhances the bears without overpowering them.
• Hook and eye closure provides secure, easy wear and a classic touch that ties the piece to traditional craftsmanship.
• Fine pin-shell heishe separators give subtle shimmer between the fetishes, adding texture and movement as you wear it.
• Vintage stock from the 1980s, carrying a piece of family trading-post history and the era’s distinctive handmade artistry.
