Bio

Equal parts fierce and whimsical, this Melinda Risk necklace reimagines a bear claw as an imaginative talisman. A carved mother-of-pearl claw is capped in 18K gold with a heart-shaped emerald accent and topped by a sculpted sterling silver bear. Suspended from a sterling silver chain, it reflects the artist's signature blend of storytelling, symbolism, and playful craftsmanship.
