Vintage Sterling Silver Bear Paw Dangle Earrings – Likely Pre-1970s

Striking pair of vintage sterling silver earrings featuring an oxidized overlay-style bear paw motif. These beautifully hand-stamped earrings showcase traditional Southwestern design with rich texture and symbolic meaning. The teardrop shape and pierced post design offer dramatic length and timeless elegance.

Metal: Sterling silver 

Length: 3"

Closure: Sterling post with drop

Design: Textured overlay bear paw cutout with oxidized contrast

Era: Believed to be pre-1970s based on construction, patina, and lack of hallmark (consistent with older Native pieces)

⚠️ Disclaimer: These earrings are unsigned and unmarked, which is common for Native-made jewelry prior to the 1970s, before hallmarking became a standardized practice. Based on the style, materials, and construction, they are consistent with mid-20th century Native American silverwork, but artist attribution and tribal origin cannot be confirmed.
