DESCRIPTION:
Take advantage of the great price on this amazing pair of man made Opal earrings! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted, by artist Isabelle Yazzie, out of authentic sterling silver and man made Opal stones. A total of TWO stones (ONE in each earring) are carefully placed in hand cut bezel settings, while being highlighted with mini silver beads and hand cut silver work that creates dazzling silver feather designs. Feathers are symbols of prayers, marks of honor or sources of ideas. They represent the Creative Force. The earrings are stamped sterling and hallmarked.
Most people know Opal for its distinctive play of color, it is a semi-transparent solidified mineral composed of silicon and water, and it gets its name from the Latin word "Oplus" meaning precious stone. Opal is the birthstone for October. It is believed to release self-consciousness allowing spontaneous action, and awakens psychic and mystical qualities.
