DESCRIPTION:
Looking at such beauty tells the capabilities of Native American art! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted, out of genuine sterling silver and 12KGF. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver or gold. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this bracelet, the second layer forms a design that depicts THREE bears. Stamped designs accent the sides of the bracelet for a charming finish. In Native American beliefs, the bear symbolizes physical strength, leadership, and is known as the "first helper". The bracelet is stamped sterling and hallmarked.
12KGF is as good as gold. The color will never fade, change, or wear off. It is 12K gold on top of brass and other metals, which create a gold tone with a finish all the way through. 12KGF behaves the same way as gold.
