DESCRIPTION:
Looking at such beauty tells the capabilities of Native American art! This piece of Native American jewelry was Zuni hand crafted by artist Wilfred Siutza, out of genuine sterling silver, along with Turquoise inlay. The inlay is gently set, creating a lovely shape. Thin silver lines accent the earrings for a perfect finish.
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.
