DESCRIPTION:

This is a very exquisite necklace set that must not be overlooked! This Native American jewelry set is Navajo hand crafted and strung by artist Louise Yazzie, out of genuine sterling silver and real Corals. The necklace is composed of one Naja (the crescent-shaped large center pendant) and double strands of 8-mm silver eccentric beads that are placed at regular intervals among the round side of the center. The Naja is set with THREE stones, while each side of the necklace has SEVEN stones that are attached to three silver petals which are called squash blossoms. All of the stones are gently set in hand cut bezel, while being accented by twisted silver and hand crafted silver. The necklace is stamped sterling and hallmarked. Entire traditional necklace is flexible "not stiff". The earrings have a total of TWO stones (ONE in each earring) and perfectly match the necklace for a extraordinary finish to this set. The earrings are stamped sterling and hallmarked. This entire set has a total of NINETEEN stones.

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.
