Hello, everyone! This is my Christmas gift for Ina, so Ina please don't look further. Sorry for the diamond fans, it's not De Beers, it's "The Bears"! I couldn't cut that beautiful pattern on the Dryhead slab, so I tried to frame it entirely. After some tries, I thought this bear is the best framing. Plus, the set will always remind us about our stay in Three Bear Lodge - W. Yellowstone The ear-rings are not Dryhead, they are some other banded agate but I think they still match. Thank you for looking, Adrian

Adrian,
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me.If you were located near Yellowstone National Park, you could probably make a fair living just making those sets for the gift shops and only work 3 months a year !
Great design idea !

I am with Harley your talent is magnificent and your imagination is limitless. I am sure your Lady Ina will love these. The shape reminds me of a Native American bear fetish. The legend goes the bear has strength, self knowledge and healing attributes:)

Thank you so much everyone, I'm glad you like it and hopefully Ina will do to.
Adrian
PS. Moondragon, I was inspired by that Native American bear silouhette, but didn't know those legends. They're a welcome add.

Adrian, I know Ina will love them! I have to say though that there is only one thing I would have done differently (As if I could have even gotten them to look close to that good). I would have turned the little bear on the right around so it would be facing in. That way, when Ina wears them, they are both facing forward and towards her. Just a thought. They are all really beautiful and I am glad you let the main one be what it wanted to be. They look awesome! Fran

You're right Fran, this way it would had been better. Good thought, too bad it didn't pop in my mind.
