Ray Jack Navajo Sterling Silver Multistone Inlay Bear Earrings
A striking pair of signed sterling silver bear fetish dangle earrings by Ray Jack, a highly regarded Navajo silversmith known for his precision multistone inlay work. The bear silhouettes are grounded in rich jet-black onyx, with vivid turquoise inlaid across the paws and legs, a bold spiny oyster coral triangle at the snout, and horizontal stripe inlay in turquoise, lapis, coral, and mother of pearl through the body. A constellation of raised silver dots scattered across each face adds a celestial quality characteristic of Ray Jack's signature aesthetic.
The silverwork framing each piece is equally accomplished — a twisted rope border crowns the top, silver ball clusters accent the sides, and wrapped French wire hooks echo the careful detailing of the main body. Both pieces are stamped "RAY JACK" and "Sterling" on the reverse. Bear imagery in Navajo tradition carries deep meaning as a symbol of strength and protection, and Ray Jack's interpretation brings that symbolism into sharp, wearable focus. A collectible pair from a well-documented and sought-after Navajo artist.
CONDITION
Good. Inlay is intact on both earrings with no visible chips, lifting, or losses. Silver retains strong detail in the rope work and dot accents with light patina consistent with age and prior wear. French wire hooks are intact and functional. Polishing is left to the buyer.
