DESCRIPTION:
There is nothing at all average about this beautiful bracelet! The pendant is a gorgeous piece of Native American jewelry that is Navajo hand crafted by artist Shirley Largo, out of genuine sterling silver, real Turquoise and Coral. A total of Four stones are delicately set in hand cut bezel, while being accented with mini silver beads and flowers that add style to the pendant.
Corals are known to be very soothing and very protective. Coral is of an organic origin; it is the skeletal remains of marine animals called Coral Polyps. Colonies of these tiny creatures build branching structures as they grow, gradually forming reefs and atolls.
Turquoise is the birthstone of December. It is believed that turquoise tends to bring good fortune, strength and helps overcome illness. Turquoise got its name from the Levantine traders called Turks who brought the stone to Europe from Persia via Turkey centuries ago. Native Americans have prized turquoise since the time of the Aztecs, who mined it in New Mexico. The natural variations that occur in turquoise are part of its appeal and beauty.
