The stone-to-stone jewelry technique requires the utmost skill to fit specially cut stones and shells side by side. Sheryl and Strallie Edaakie’s handmade sterling silver Medicine-Bear bolo tie demonstrates their mastery of this challenging art. Colorful sections of pen shell, turquoise, mother-of-pearl, lapis lazuli, gold lip shell, coral and spiny oyster shell are arranged in a stunning mosaic to form the Bear's body. Lovely hand-stamping surrounds the silver frame which is 1 5/8" square. The adjustable braided black leather bolo is about 48" long including the 2" sterling silver tips. Signed by the artist.
