Bear Charm, Heartline Charm Sterling Silver | Native American Inspired Jewelry | Made in USA

The Heartline Bear — sacred Zuni symbol of strength and healing — in 3D .925 sterling silver, Made in USA. Weighing 2.5 grams at 5/8" x 1/2", the heartline arrow runs through the bear's body, connecting mouth to heart.

Each piece is lost-wax cast from a hand-sculpted original, then individually hand-finished through rough filing, fine sanding, and progressive polishing. The three-dimensional form reveals detail from every angle — the bear's profile, the arrow from mouth to heart, and the textured surface.

In Zuni tradition, the heartline represents the life force flowing through the animal — the arrow connecting the mouth (where breath enters) to the heart (where life resides). The bear itself is the guardian of the West, a healer, and a protector. Together, they form one of the most meaningful symbols in Southwestern art.

A sterling silver jump ring is included and attached. Perfect for collectors of indigenous-inspired jewelry, bear enthusiasts, healers, or anyone who values symbols that carry cultural depth. Wear as a pendant, on a charm bracelet, or pair two for symbolic earrings.
