Vintage Handmade Bear Claw Pendant w/Turquoise Stone, Native American Jewelry

This is a beautiful handmade pendant, made from a real bear claw. It has a round bezel-set turquoise stone. Including the bail/loop, the pendant measures 1 3/4 inches long. It is in excellent condition. It is handmade, so there are no maker's marks or stampings. Therefore, I cannot definitively say one way or the other if this is made with sterling silver. I have not tested it. It is being sold with the understanding that the metal content is "unknown".
