It is a posture with one obvious meaning, and it lands immediately: this bear wants a hug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stones are placed rather than scattered. Around 35 clear crystals fill the four paw pads and the soles of the feet, with a scatter across the heart-shaped tummy and two set into the face as eyes - so every point of sparkle marks a place that means something on the body. The rest is left polished, including the smooth muzzle, which keeps the expression readable instead of dissolving into glitter. It reads as a small character rather than a shape, and that is what makes it a gift people hold on to.

Are these real diamonds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, and we would rather say so plainly.

The honesty is so you know exactly what you are buying and how to care for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Why are only the paws set with stones?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause it draws the eye out along the arms and legs, which is what makes the open pose read at a glance.

Will the wide shape sit flat on a bracelet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. It is only 5.4mm deep, so despite the width it lies close rather than standing proud, and the outstretched limbs stop it spinning the way a rounder charm can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Does it react to a magnet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo - this one tests fully non-magnetic. Some of our other steel charms show a faint pull, which is normal for cast stainless steel and not a sign of a cheaper metal.

What does a bear charm mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBears carry strength and protection in most traditions, and comfort in nearly all of them.

How do I care for the set crystals?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe steel body is tarnish-resistant and hypoallergenic like the rest of our range, but set crystals need slightly gentler handling than plain steel: keep this charm away from ultrasonic cleaners, high water pressure, perfume and solvents, which can dull or loosen stones over time. Wipe with a dry soft cloth or a soft dry brush.

On a bracelet, keep at least a couple of plain links either side so the outstretched arms are not crowded by the next charm - the silhouette is the whole point and it needs space to read.
