What a sweet silver bear necklace - any day would be happier with this little guy hanging around your neck. The bear is 7/8" long x 3/8" tall by 3/8" wide and dangles from an 18" (40cm) sterling silver chain with a secure lobster claw clasp. Looking for a 24" chain? A 36" chain? Even longer? Just make a note when you purchase, and I'll swap out the chain for free before I ship it out to you.

All necklaces ship Priority Mail within the USA and internationally via trackable Registered Mail (signature required) for the same low price.

Also available with a polished finish: http://www.etsy.com/listing/62681718/bear-necklace-in-polished-sterling

I hand carved this bear in wax, hollowed it out, and cast it in sterling silver using the lost wax method. Each bear is cast from my original mold and hand finished to a soft brushed finish, and each one comes stamped with my maker's mark to show it's an original piece by Jo Hollingsworth.

The third photo shows my original wax carving, hollowed out and ready to be cast. The fourth photo shows the two halves of the bear still attached to the casting tree, before I cut them off, solder them together, and hand finish the piece.
