Dennis Kangasniemi 14K Gold & BC Jade Bear Pendant Necklace

Crafted by acclaimed West Coast artisan Dennis Kangasniemi for the Pacific Spirit Collection, this exquisite pendant showcases the rich legacy of Pacific Northwest imagery and fine Canadian craftsmanship. At its heart sits a polished slab of natural British Columbia green nephrite jade, a stone deeply tied to the region's coastal history and revered for its strength and deep color. Overlaying the jade is a finely pierced 14K gold and sterling silver silhouette depicting the iconic "Bear & Salmon Dream" scene—a powerful motif honoring the profound connection between the grizzly bear, spawning salmon, mountains, and moon. Anchored on a solid 10K gold chain and presented in its original fitted wooden museum box with its Royal BC Museum provenance, this piece bridges fine jewelry with authentic Canadian West Coast art history.
