There is nothing at all average about this beautiful ring! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Lorena Brown, out of authentic sterling silver, real Turquoise stone, and Coral stone. A total of TWO stones are gently set in hand cut bezel settings while being complimented by twisted silver, mini silver beads, along with hand crafted flower and scalloped leaf designs for a stunning look. 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 its 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.
