DESCRIPTION:
There is nothing at all average about this beautiful cuff bracelet! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Roberta Begay, out of genuine sterling silver and real turquoise stones. A total of FOUR stones are gently placed in hand cut bezel settings, while hand crafted silver work creates charming scalloped leaf and flower designs. Mini silver beads add style for a lovely look. The bracelet is hallmarked.
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.
