Bedazzled Birthstone Bears:
By RAIKES

Blending traditional art and contemporary design to create a truly unique collectible, that's Raikes!

9" mohair and beaded bears, styled after each monthly birthstone. Editions of only 250 pieces each

 

While watching QVC on collectible day I spotted a Raikes bear that I just had to add to my collection. When the bear arrived I was extremely pleased with the quality and craftsmanship!
While there are many monthly bear offers, few are hand crafted and hand sewn. This bear is truly exquisite!

Happy bearday! Celebrate your birthday with an adorable little bear. This Birthstone bear is gemstone-coordinated with colored mohair fur. The bear has a carved maple face and footpads. Fabric warms the belly, ear linings, lower legs and arms. The top of the bear's heads is embellished with sequins, beads, beaded fringe, and mirrored, faceted hearts in gemstone colors. The bear's nose and foot pads are detailed with sparkly paint. Fully jointed. Measures 8-1/2"H. Limited Edition of 250. Includes a gift box, a numbered wood plaque, and a Manufacturer's Certificate of Authenticity. Adult collectible. Garnet, Amethyst, Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Peridot Sapphire, Aquamarine, Citrine, Topaz, Alexandrite or Tourmaline. Made in China.
