This is a very exquisite necklace set that must not be overlooked! In this Native American jewelry set, the pendant is Navajo hand crafted, out of genuine sterling silver and a real Turquoise stone. The stone is carefully placed in a hand cut bezel setting and can be seen dangling in the center of a hand crafted silver naja design. Stamped patterns can be seen completing the pendant to a perfect finish. The pendant is stamped sterling and hallmarked. The necklace is hand strung out of genuine sterling silver and real Turquoise beads. The necklace consists of: 8-mm Turquoise rondelle beads, 7-mm silver barrel beads, along with silver round beads that range in measurement from 2-mm to 7-mm. Each end of the necklace is completed with a silver cone and bead for a perfect finish. The cones are stamped sterling.
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.
