DESCRIPTION:
This lovely bracelet is a work of art and has everything you could possibly want from a piece of Native American jewelry! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted by artist Calvin Peterson, out of genuine Sterling Silver and 14 Karat Gold. 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 bracelet, the second layer forms a magnificent man in the maze design, along with water wave patterns, and bear paw designs for an extraordinary finish. In Native American belief, the symbol of the man in a circular maze of seven paths represents the paths and cycles of life one must be guided through. The imagery represents the journey of life and is deeply connected to one's own ancestry in the path they take. This symbol represents the idea that life's journey is not always easy. 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. The cuff is stamped sterling, 14k, and hallmarked by the artist.
