Bear claws have a long association with Native American jewelry and culture, particularly among Plains Indian peoples. Traditional bear claw necklaces could represent the strength and power of the bear and were also associated in various traditions with protection, leadership and spiritual power. These plastic bear claws offer the familiar curved claw shape for creating Native-inspired, Western and wildlife jewelry, costume accessories and craft projects.
