About Us

Siyo! 

Our story of White Bear Turquoise was founded from a love of Native American turquoise and Southwestern wearable art. Every piece reflects a tradition and spirit of a connection to our spiritual earth. 

The name Unega Yona means White Bear in Cherokee, chosen to honor strength, resilience and who I am.

This studio is more than jewelry-it's a space for heritage, storytelling and authenticity.

 I stand strong, honest and determined to leave a better world for my children, my children's children and every generation after.

Wado!
