Wild Pearle Abalone Shell Dream Catcher Pendant Necklace Gift Boxed NEW

Wild Pearle Abalone Jewelry is hand crafted from sustainable abalone shell from New Zealand. This beautiful dream catcher style pendant has abalone shell hanging feathers. In the center of the "web" is a Zuni bear, also made from abalone shell. The combination of a dream catcher and a Zuni bear in Native American symbolism can carry various meanings, as both elements have distinct significance in different tribal cultures. Here's a brief overview: Originally from the Ojibwe tribe, dream catchers are believed to filter out negative dreams, allowing only positive ones to pass through and slide down the feathers to the sleeper. The web in the center represents the spider, considered a protective spirit. Feathers hanging below the web symbolize breath and the path of good dreams. The Zuni bear is a symbol used by the Zuni tribe. The bear holds significant symbolism in many Native American cultures, often representing strength, courage, healing, and introspection. This beautiful pendant is made from a zinc alloy base with rhodium plating. Pendant measures 2.25" from top of bale to bottom of longest feather. Comes with an 18" chain plus 2" extender. I removed the necklace from the box just to add photos on my mannequin. Never worn. The brand on the inside lid of the box says Storrs.
