Vintage Bear Fetish Earrings

These sweet carved bear earrings are Navajo made new old stock from the 70’s. They have been in storage from the inventory of a now defunct Arizona Trading post. The rich green color is attributed to the mineral chrysoprase from which they are carved. The artisan used gold tone or gold wash findings. There is a slight chip on the heishi on the left earring as shown in photos but it is hardly noticeable.
