DESCRIPTION:
You will absolutely fall in love with this stunning bracelet! This piece of Native American jewelry is hand crafted by artist Leta Parker, out of genuine sterling silver, along with real Turquoise stones. A total of EIGHT Turquoise stones are carefully set in hand cut shadow box bezel settings inside fabulous bear paw designs. 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. Bracelet is stamped sterling and is 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.
