Vintage Articulating Teddy Bear Sapphire Charm Necklace

When I saw this vintage sterling silver articulating teddy bear charm in an antique store in Arizona I was STOKED. This whimisical charm is from the mid century — an era when charm jewelry was made to last, designed with the kind of sculptural detail and solid weight you just don't find in mass production today. 

Every joint moves. The little guy has a whole personality, and he'd been sitting in that antique case long enough.

Part of what drives the Reborn Vintage Collection is exactly this — finding a forgotten, tarnished piece that's been overlooked for decades and giving it a new life. I add my own artist's hand, my own point of view, and turn it into something truly one of a kind. A second story.

For this little bear, that meant a hand engraved star setting on his belly, set with a responsibly sourced pink sapphire

A note on care:

Pink sapphire is a durable stone, but sterling silver is a softer metal and can bend or scratch with rough wear — remove this necklace before swimming, or any activity where it might take a knock. Due to the vintage nature of this piece, it may also show subtle signs of wear consistent with its age and history. Every piece in the Reborn Vintage Collection has been carefully restored and is in strong, wearable condition — preserving a bit of its past is intentional. Treat it well and it will last.
