DESCRIPTION:

This lovely dream catcher pendant will definitely attract plenty of attention! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Lorenzo Arviso, out of genuine sterling silver with real Turquoise and Coral beads. Both stones are placed in the center of a delicate silver web design, while three sterling silver feathers dangle beautifully at the end for an outstanding finish.

It is believed that each carefully woven web will catch your bad dreams in the night. The bad spirit dreams will get caught in the web and disappear with the morning sun. However, the good spirit dreams will find their way to the center spirit hole and float down the sacred feather. Feathers are symbols of prayers, marks of honor, and sources of ideas, representing the Creative Force.

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 their appeal and beauty.

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.
