For the Celts, there was no creature more fearsome or imposing than the mighty bear. Larger, faster and stronger than any man, the Bear represented power and protection, and was often associated with royal character.
Their paws and claws were often taken as trophies to boast of one’s personal strength and hunting prowess. Take part in the tradition and adorn yourself with the claws of the lords of the forests.

Is sterling silver real silver? The answer is a definite yes. Sterling silver is an alloyed form of silver which is much more suitable to use in jewellery and other metalwork.
Fine silver is 99.9% pure silver. In this form the metal is beautiful and suffers from minimal tarnish, but it's generally too soft and malleable for many uses, including making most jewellery.
Instead fine silver is mixed with copper to create sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. This percentage of fine silver is why you will sometimes see sterling silver referred to as '925 silver' or hallmarked with a 925 stamp.
