This fascinating necklace is circa 1980s. It is fashioned from all sorts of carved semi precious gems and agates with the focal point being turquoise. It measures 36 inches long and the central bear measures 1 1/2 x 5/8 inches. The flat bears heads further up the necklace from the center are carved from a black gem of some type and have inlaid turquoise accents. There are other carved figures such as turtles and animals other than bears. The necklace is really quite beautiful and all hand made. The condition is excellent.
