DESCRIPTION:
The beautiful features in this pair of earrings will make you appreciate Native American art! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Aaron Davis, out of genuine sterling silver and real Turquoise stones. This pair of earrings has a total of TWENTY EIGHT stones (FOURTEEN in each earring) that are carefully set in hand cut bezel settings, while a gorgeous hand crafted sterling silver feather design makes up the rest of the earring for a classic whimsical look. In Navajo culture, feathers are symbols of prayers, marks of honor or sources of ideas. They represent the Creative Force. The earrings are stamped sterling.
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.
