DESCRIPTION:
This is a wonderful piece of Navajo artistry! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Grace Smith, out of genuine sterling silver, along with a real Turquoise stone and a real Coral. A total of TWO stones are delicately placed in hand cut bezel settings, while a hand crafted Eagle design can be seen highlighting for a stunning look. In Native American beliefs, the eagle is the master of the sky; he is considered to be a carrier of prayers. Many of the Indian Nations admire the eagle for bravery and special connections to the creator. The ring is stamped sterling and hallmarked.
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 their appeal and beauty.
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.
