A bold, sculptural Sterling Silver bear pendant by Ray Tracey — one of the most celebrated contemporary Navajo jewelers — rendered in his signature Knifewing modernist style.

The bear form is cut from thick-gauge Sterling Silver, its silhouette sweeping and confident, with a single inset eye dot and a central open circle that gives the piece its graphic, architectural presence. The triangular bail is a composition in itself: geometric channel inlay in lapis lazuli and malachite divided by fine silver lines, creating a vivid contrast against the mirror-polished silver body below.

Ray Tracey's Knifewing Studio work is defined by this tension between bold, minimal form and precise, jewel-like detail. The bear — a symbol of strength and healing across many Native traditions — is one of his most iconic subjects, and this estate piece represents the artist at his most assured.
