DESCRIPTION:
This is a wonderful piece of Navajo artistry! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by Wilbur Myers, out of genuine sterling silver, Turquoise, and Coral stones. The Bolo piece has a total of THREE stones that are gently set in hand cut bezel settings while being accented by imprinted designs, mini silver beads, along with a hand crafted scalloped leaf design for a marvelous finish. The tips of the bolo tie are accented with traditional imprinted designs. The bolo tie is stamped sterling.
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.
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.
