DESCRIPTION:
An offer like this will not last long! In this set, the pendant is hand crafted by artist Emerson Kinsel out of authentic sterling silver. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design a beautiful Kokopelli overlay. In this pendant, the second layer forms a dazzling bear design. The pendant is stamped sterling and hallmarked. The chain clasp is stamped .925 (sterling).
In Native American beliefs, the bear symbolizes physical strength, leadership, and is known as the "first helper".
The Kokopelli is a common fertility symbol throughout the Southwest. In Native American beliefs, the Kokopelli visits various communities, seducing and impregnating the young women drawn to the tones of his flute playing.
