Articulated Sterling Silver Teddy Bear Pendant with Cord Necklace

This item is an articulated teddy bear pendant crafted from sterling silver, suspended from a black cord necklace. The bear features a textured surface, designed to mimic fur, giving it a tactile and aged appearance. Its arms and legs are jointed, allowing for movement and adding a playful element to the design. The pendant appears to be relatively small, likely fitting comfortably in the palm of a hand, as suggested by the fingers holding it in the image. The silver has a slightly darkened or oxidized patina, which enhances the details of the 'fur' and gives it a vintage aesthetic. The attachment to the cord is via a simple bail loop at the top of the bear's head. The black cord itself is thin and appears to be made of leather or a similar material, with silver-toned findings at the ends, including a clasp mechanism, possibly a lobster clasp or spring ring, visible where it hangs near the base of the display stand. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced item, but with attention to detail in the casting and articulation. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image, but the additional context '925' suggests it is made of sterling silver. The style is classic and whimsical, appealing to collectors of novelty jewelry or those with an affinity for teddy bears. There are no visible major condition issues such as damage or significant wear, beyond what appears to be an intentional antique finish.
