Silver & Gold Bear Bracelet
This Bear Bracelet was hand-crafted by Justin Rivard from the Cree Nation and signed on the back. It has been carved from sterling silver with one large onlay of 14 karat gold.
The Bear Symbol represents strength, family, vitality courage and health. The bear is thoughtful and independent, with little need for fellowship. The bear is also self-contained and strong-willed in nature. A Bear is of great support and comfort to those who crave human company simply for personal reassurance rather than for the simple pleasure of being with friends. He makes lonely periods of life far easier.

The bracelet measures about 1/2 of an inch or 1 1/4 centimeters wide and 5 7/8 inches or 15 centimeters long.
As each item is hand-carved, the carving may differ slightly from the images.
