Faunara — IV. The Bear · Guardian of the Forest

Strength is quiet,
courage walks softly.

A hand-carved grizzly in gold and diamond, a full Ethiopian opal held in its jaws like a captured ember — drawn from The Forest, where the old guardians move unseen. Made by hand. Worn by few.

The piece

What the old forest
keeps watch over.

A grizzly's head, hand-carved and set scale by scale in diamond pavé, holds a full Ethiopian opal in its jaws — a living ember of colour, no two ever alike. The bail is carved and pavé-set to match.

It carries the weight of a piece many times its price, and the intimacy of something made, by hand, for you alone.

$245, and it shows like $4,000.

Sculptural carving, a full opal and hundreds of hand-set diamonds — couture-level work, released direct in a small numbered edition.

The maker

One pendant. One set of hands.

Nothing here is stamped out by the thousand. Each Bear is carved, opal-set and finished to order by a single artisan — diamond by diamond, claw by claw — which is exactly why the edition is small, and why yours does not exist until you claim it.

It is the difference between owning a product and owning a piece.

Enquiries

Before you reserve.

What does “edition of 100” mean?+

The Bear is released as one hundred individually numbered pieces. Each carries its own number and certificate. When all hundred are claimed, the edition closes permanently — it is never reproduced.

Why is it made to order?+

Each pendant is carved, opal-set and hand-finished by a single artisan once you reserve it. This keeps the edition genuinely limited and ensures the piece is made to a standard, not to a quota. Please allow 4–6 weeks.

Will the opal scratch or fade?+

It is a solid, natural Ethiopian opal — cradled in the jaws, not glued — and with everyday care it keeps its fire for generations. Each piece includes lifetime re-polishing, and we are always here to refresh it.

What chain does it come on?+

The Bear arrives on a solid gold curb chain, cradled in the hand-finished “Guardian of the Forest” keepsake box with its story card. Prefer a different length? Note it at checkout and we will accommodate.

Is $245 really the price for something like this?+

Yes. By releasing direct and in small editions, we offer couture-level carving, a full opal and hundreds of hand-set diamonds at a fraction of traditional fine-jewelry markups. Payment over four instalments is available with Klarna.

What if it isn't right for me?+

Return it within 30 days for a full refund. The keepsake box and certificate are yours to keep, and lifetime re-polishing is included for every owner.
