DESCRIPTION:
We bring to you this adorable bracelet! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted, out of genuine sterling silver and real Opal stones. The bracelet has THREE stones that are gently set in hand cut shadow box bezel settings, while placed in lovely bear paw designs. Hand cut bear paw patterns add style and complete the bracelet perfectly. In Native American beliefs, the bear paw is usually considered a way to call for the power of the animal spirit, or as an indication of the presence of the spirit. It is a symbol that represents inner strength. The bracelet is stamped sterling.
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.
