DESCRIPTION:
Looking at such beauty tells the capabilities of Native American art! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Daniel Benally, out of genuine sterling silver and real Turquoise stones. A total of TWO stones are delicately set into handcut bezel settings, while hand crafted silver work creates TWO beautiful Naja designs. Twisted silver can be seen accenting for a marvelous finish. 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.
