DESCRIPTION:
You will absolutely fall in love with this stunning money clip! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted by artist Tommy (Thomas) And Rosita Singer, out of genuine sterling silver and 12 Karat Gold Filled. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver or gold. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this money clip, the second layer forms THREE magnificent 12 KGF Kokopelli designs and sterling silver border patterns for an outstanding finish. The Kokopelli is a common fertility symbol throughout the Southwest. In Native American beliefs, the Kokopelli visits various communities, seducing and impregnating the young women drawn to the tones of his flute playing. The lower portion of the money clip is made out of nickel for stronger grip and durability! The money clip is hallmarked by artist.
12KGF is as good as gold. The color will never fade, change, or wear off. It is 12K gold on top of brass and other metals, which create a gold tone with a finish all the way through. 12KGF behaves the same way as gold.
