DESCRIPTION:
This lovely ring will definitely attract plenty of attention! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted by artist Calvin Peterson out of genuine sterling silver. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver. One layer forms the foundation, while the second is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this ring, the second layer forms an extraordinary Bear Paw and Water Wave design for an excellent look. The ring is stamped sterling and hallmarked.
In Native American beliefs, the bear paw is usually considered a way to call for the power of the animal spirit, or as an indication of the presence of the spirit. It is a symbol that represents inner strength.
In Native American beliefs, the water waves design represents continuous life.
