This Zuni bear paw pendant, crafted in solid sterling silver, carries bold symbolism and vibrant energy, centered around a rich red coral stone. Designed in the shape of a stylized bear paw, the piece speaks to protection, strength, and spiritual grounding, reflecting generations of Zuni tradition.
The bear paw is more than an image—it's a powerful emblem in Zuni culture. It represents the presence and guidance of the bear spirit, known as a guardian and healer. As a symbol, it offers resilience, courage, and a path forward, making it especially meaningful for those seeking to move through life with strength and direction.
At the center sits a polished coral stone, glowing with warm, earthy energy. Traditionally used in Native jewelry for its vitality and life force, coral is believed to offer protection, stimulate the blood and spirit, and connect the wearer to ancestral strength. Its deep red color brings a grounding fire to the piece—a reminder of the energy that fuels growth and endurance.
Balanced in form and rich in meaning, this pendant is more than a decorative piece—it's a symbol of strength worn close to the heart, carrying the spirit of the bear and the power of the elements.
