The listing, New Turquoise, Coral, Onyx, & Sterling Silver Zuni Bear Earrings has ended.
This is a new pair of earrings that I made that measure from the bottom of the hook 1 1/4" X 3/4". The zuni bear is turquoise, and the other beads are red coral, black onyx, & sterling silver.
ZUNI BEAR symbolizes the most powerful animal, the bear, Guardian of the Earth, representing strength, introspection and power of the soul. Bear awakens the power of the unconscious and our primal instincts. It reminds us to draw on our inner resources and practice discernment and discrimination. The Zuni Indians believe that if you place a small button filled with corn meal under the nose of the Zuni Bear when you leave your home it will protect it while you are away. The strength and well being of Bear are said to be passed on to the owner. When a bear has a Heartline, this line is the path of the Spirits breath – emphasizing taking in the spirit of Bear.
