This magnificent and traditional money clip represents the finest of Navajo craftsmanship!

A total of TWO stones are gently set in shawdow box bezel settings, while creating TWO adorable bear paw designs for a fantastic look.
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.
Bear Paw An often used design in pottery and silverwork; often if the artist is of the bear clan, or, more generally, as a symbol of inner strength.
