Carved Bear Earrings
Most bears are masterful climbers, with the exception of polar bears. Polar bear cubs have been observed climbing trees, but adult polar bears are not physically built for it and have little motivation to do so. Black bears are skilled climbers and will climb trees to pursue prey, avoid becoming prey, or even to hibernate in a hollow tree! Grizzly bears will climb trees with proper motivation but are not as adept as black bears.

These earrings celebrate the playful side of bears. Bear cubs are known for their rambunctious play and are a joy to watch. The abundant play among bear cubs is believed to aid in motor skill development, social skills, to strengthen social bonds, and practice every days skills like hunting.

The material for these bears is fossilized mammoth ivory, which is tens of thousands of years old. It has lain buried in the permafrost for thousands of years until brought to light by erosion. Fossilized mammoth ivory is a finite material and prized for its soft cream color that makes it ideal for fine heirloom jewelry."
