DESCRIPTION:
Looking at such beauty tells the capabilities of Native American art! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo overlay hand crafted by artist Calvin Peterson, out of genuine sterling silver and 14 Karat Gold. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of silver or gold. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this ring, the second layer forms an amazing 14 Karat Gold Turtle and Water Wave design for a fabulous finish. In Native American beliefs, the turtle represents strength, female power, and fertility. The turtle is also considered to be able to defy death. The water waves design represents continuous life. The ring is stamped sterling, 14k, and is hallmarked by the artist.
Gold is an aggressive masculine vibration; it lifts you up from depressed and futile emotions; it purifies the body.
