Large Navajo Sterling Silver Medicine Bear Pendant by Jeff Jackson

This large sterling silver medicine bear pendant by Navajo artist Jeff Jackson is from the 1990's, an era characterized by styles like slip dresses, baby tees, flannel shirts, corset tops and combat boots - all popular fashion trends without deeper significance.

Likely worn with some of these 1990's styles, Jeff Jackson's contemporary spirit bear pendant represents strength and healing as the hollow form silver bear faces the heart. Two dangling feathers add visual interest.

Thanks to a 1/2" wide silver bale, you can wear the medicine bear pendant with Navajo pearls, turquoise beads or coral tubes rather than just a silver chain. It's big, bold and will look great with all the latest styles as they circulate and recirculate.
