DESCRIPTION:
There is nothing at all average about this beautiful bracelet! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Carolyn Nez, out of genuine sterling silver and man made Opal stones. A total of FIVE stones are carefully placed in hand cut bezel settings, while hand crafted silver work creates an adorable flower and scalloped leaf design. TWO silver bars make up the cuff and complete the bracelet to perfection! The bracelet is stamped sterling and hallmarked.
Most people know Opal for its distinctive play of color, it is a semi-transparent solidified mineral composed of silicon and water, and it gets its name from the Latin word "Oplus" meaning precious stone. Opal is the birthstone for October. It is believed to release self-consciousness allowing spontaneous action, and awakens psychic and mystical qualities.
