This lovely cuff bracelet will definitely attract plenty of attention! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Thomas Yazzie, out of genuine sterling silver and real Turquoise stones. There are a total of THREE stones that are carefully set in a hand cut bezel. Delicate handcrafted silver work creates a gorgeous wolf design that is accented by beautiful scalloped leaf patterns. Twisted silver and mini silver beads finish the bracelet for a dazzling look. The bracelet is stamped sterling and is hallmarked by the artist.
In most Native American cultures, wolves are considered a medicine being associated with courage, strength, loyalty, and success at hunting.
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.
