Bear Claws

At Claw, Antler & Hide Company, the bear claws we sell are used for a variety of purposes across different cultures, often influenced by a combination of symbolic significance, and educational and practical utility.

Ceremonial Regalia

In many Native American tribes, bear claws are considered powerful spiritual objects, used in ceremonial regalia and rituals to symbolize strength and bravery. They are often crafted into necklaces, pendants, or other forms of jewelry that are believed to provide protection and good fortune to the wearer. The majority of the claws we sell are made into beautiful keepsakes. These artifacts are not only valued for their aesthetic appeal but also for their deep cultural and spiritual connections.

Educational Artifacts

Museums and educational institutions sometimes use bear claws in displays and teaching materials to educate the public about wildlife, bear behavior, and conservation efforts. They serve as tangible artifacts that help illustrate various aspects of bear anatomy and the ecological roles they play.

Crafts & Hobbies

In the realm of crafts and hobbies, bear claws are popular for creating unique and striking pieces of jewelry and ornamental items. Artisans and crafters value the claws for their natural beauty and rarity, often setting them in metals or combining them with beads and leather to create high-end, rustic jewelry and decorative items.

At Claw, Antler and Hide we sell Black Bear and Grizzly Bear claws. A front Grizzley bear claw typically ranges between 3.5 and 4.5 inches in length. Color, quality, and size are all factors when making your selection, and depending on your needs you may want to consider a Wolf, Fox, Lynx, or Badger claw as they tend to be less expensive.
