Hello To all it has been a while
since I have posted.
Here are a couple pictures of a very unique piece of jewelry.
This thing is massive in size and weight solid 1 Pound in Stg And 18K Yellow
There was a lot of graver work from the fitting of the parts to the finishing
of each piece,not to mention all the soldered pieces.Any comments are welcomed.
Thanks Joe Cera

That's pretty wild Joe. It's a beautiful piece and excellent workmanship. Who's it for a Tibetan King.

The bear is the brother of man according to my people, the only reason they wont eat bear kills. As far as i could surmise of the legends iv'e read hes like having a crazy brother who may honor you or kill you.. but he's still your brother and should be treated with respect.

Joe,

That is down right cool. Here is what I am dying to know. Are these gold plated claws from an actual bear or are the cast from the claws of an actual bear?

This is almost like a piece of fantasy art. It is Tiffany's meets mountain man. The juxtaposition of the subject against the treatment really makes this one an attention grabber.

Well Done!

Ray
