Vintage Painted Black Bear Stud Earrings – Mint Old Store Stock

Two tiny black bears go exploring in these charming vintage wildlife stud earrings. Made from dimensional painted metal, each bear is finished in glossy black with molded fur, facial, and paw details. The bears are mirror images, facing toward one another when worn. They remain mint on their original card, which identifies the ear fittings as surgical-steel posts. These came from an auction lot belonging to a taxidermist who closed his business during the 1990s and were never sold or worn. Subject: American black bears Era: Approximately 1990s Material: Black-painted metal Ear fitting: Surgical-steel posts Style: Post-style pierced studs Measurements: 1/4 inch tall by 1/2 inch wide Markings: None Condition: Mint, unworn on the original card Curator’s Note Small, glossy, and full of personality, these bears appear to be meeting nose-to-nose on a woodland trail. Their wonderful taxidermy-shop provenance makes them even more appealing to wildlife collectors.
