Sterling animal fetishes dance along a gold filled bar chain to create an unexpected and whimsical look. This is a subtle sweet necklace that is perfect for layering with mixed metals, or as a minimalist statement. We love the meaning behind each little protective fetish, passed down from the Zuni Tribe in western New Mexico.
The bear is associated with great strength, power, healing and self-knowledge. He is the great protector, the "sacred bear" .
Eagle carries the power of intuition and creativeness, along with the powers of healing and spirit. Their spirit transcends personal problems and symbolizes becoming one with the Greater Spirit. They represents vision and higher truths.
Frogs are associated with water and rain. They ask the spirits to bring abundant rain. Frog is also the fertility fetish. Women often keep a frog fetish by their bed when hoping to become pregnant. Frogs and tadpoles represent the cycle of life.
Turtle is a symbol of Mother Earth. They represent self-reliance, tenacity, and longevity.
