Dancing Bear Jewelry

For over 30 years Jonas Faber has been crafting delightful dancing bears in soapstone. He now captures this whimsical character in a charming line of silver jewelry. From a distance, the pieces look abstract, but when viewed more closely, the playful bear is revealed.

Inuksuk Jewelry

Perhaps no other symbol better represents the ingenuity, tenacity and artistic harmony with the land of the Inuit than the Inuksuk. For millennia these impressive stone structures have graced the barren arctic landscape.

Depending on the design and location, an Inuksuk may aid navigation, indicate a good hunting or fishing location, warn of danger, show a food cache, assist in a caribou hunt or commemorate a significant event.

Jonas Faber's bold and elegant design depicts Inuksuk Quviasuktuq, an inusksuk which symbolizes joy and happiness.
