Vintage Bear Claw Turquoise Pendant

Approx. 1970s–1980s

This striking vintage pendant features a stylized bear claw motif crafted in sterling silver, centered with a genuine turquoise cabochon. The openwork claw design creates depth and visual movement, while the smooth teardrop silhouette gives the piece a balanced, contemporary-for-its-era profile. The turquoise displays a classic blue-green tone, adding a natural focal point to the symbolic form.

The bear claw is a powerful motif in Southwestern and Native American–inspired jewelry, traditionally associated with strength, protection, and spiritual power. The clean construction, tapered bail, and open-frame styling are consistent with artisan jewelry from the late 20th century.
