Crystal Tummy Bear Charm - Gold Stainless Steel Pave - 12x22mm

Crystal Tummy Bear Charm - One Paw Up, and a Sparkling Middle

This is the bear that waves. One arm is raised in greeting while the other rests at its side, and the long jointed limbs give it the loose, dangling posture of a well-loved toy held by the hand. It is the tallest bear we make - 22.2mm from ears to feet, 12mm across and 6.2mm deep, at 3.8g in gold-tone stainless steel.

Almost all of it is polished smooth. The sparkle is concentrated in one place: a small pave panel of around 12 clear crystals set across the tummy, exactly where a soft toy would have a lighter patch of fur. That restraint is what makes it work - the eye goes straight to the middle of the piece, and the rest stays warm gold. It reads as jewellery first and novelty second, which is not always true of a charm shaped like a teddy. A good anchor for a JewelBuild™ stack, and a very natural gift.

FAQs

1. Are these real diamonds?
No, and we would rather say so plainly. These are clear crystal stones, individually set - the same technique used for fine pave, with a costume stone. The honesty is so you know exactly what you are buying and how to care for it.

2. Why so few stones compared with your other bears?
Deliberately. A fully encrusted charm makes a different statement from one where the sparkle sits in a single panel. Here the polished gold carries the shape and the tummy provides the highlight, which keeps the piece wearable with everything rather than only with an occasion.

3. Does it react to a magnet?
No - 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. Full explanation in Is Magnetic Steel Jewellery Fake?.

4. How does it attach?
It comes on a jump ring, which sits over a chain link or a charm carrier. If you would rather have it ready to clip on and off by hand, we can add a small lobster clasp - just ask when you order.

5. What does a bear charm mean?
Bears carry strength and protection in most traditions, and comfort in nearly all of them - the guardian and the soft toy at once. A raised paw adds a note of welcome. Explore the meanings behind our motifs at JewelMotif™.

6. Is it suitable as a gift?
Particularly. The waving pose gives it a warmth that reads instantly, and it needs no size guessing. Every order arrives gift-ready - see JewelGift™.

How to Style the Crystal Tummy Bear

The extra height is the thing to work with: it hangs longer than the other bears, so on a necklace it sits low and clean, and on a bracelet it swings freely rather than sitting tight against the links. Because most of it is polished, it pairs happily with a fully pave charm like the Crystal Gummy Bear without the two competing. Browse the whole MiniCharm™ range, or start your stack at JewelBuild™.
