This is truly an outstanding belt buckle that will make a great impression! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Henry Attakai, out of genuine sterling silver and real Turquoise stones. The belt buckle has a total of FOUR stones that are delicately set in hand cut bezel settings, while marvelous silver work creates a beautiful eagle and scalloped leaf designs. Mini silver beads, twisted silver, and stamped patterns finish the belt buckle perfectly. The belt buckle is stamped sterling and hallmarked.
The eagle is known to be the master of the sky; he is considered to be a carrier of prayers. Many of the Indian Nations admire the eagle for bravery and special connections to the creator.
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.
