Running Bear

Can I assume that a peice with the Running Bear shop hallmark is real turquoise? As far as I can tell they seem to be a reputable shop.

Here is the peice in particular I am wondering about. But I’m also curious in general as to whether the shop always makes high quality jewelry with real materials as I come across thm a lot.

They make some nice pieces and your necklace is real turquoise. They make affordable to the high end.

Do you know the price aprox?

Running Bear is owned by Jerry Elkins who bought it from Pete Shultz in the late 70s or early 80s. I believe his daughter may be running it now. Jerry’s been around for a long time. Running Bear is a reputable company.

Running Bear is only wholesale. You must register with all your legal info.
Their retail shop is at www.ChacoCanyonTrading.com
They have many nice, reasonably priced items there. Some have identified artists, some do not.

I have been to the Chaco Canyon shop in Milan NM many times.
This is very interesting. According to their Instagram and website , I see they are affiliated with HSN shopping channel.
