DESCRIPTION:
Take advantage of the great price on this amazing pendant! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Virginia Long, out genuine sterling silver and a real Coral. The stone is gently set in a hand cut shadow box setting, while hand cut silver work creates an outstanding bear paw design for a delightful finish. 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 pendant 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.
