DESCRIPTION:
If you are looking for elegance and beauty, you have found it! The pendant is a gorgeous piece of Native American jewelry handcrafted by Navajo artist Roger Pino, out of genuine sterling silver, real Turquoise, and Corals. The pendant has a total of TWO stones that are delicately set in hand cut bezel, while mini silver beads and silver work can be seen creating beautiful feather designs for a magnificent finish. Feathers are symbols of prayers, marks of honor or sources of ideas. They represent the Creative Force. The pendant is stamped sterling and is hallmarked.
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.
Corals are known to be very soothing and very protective. Coral is of an organic origin; it is the skeletal remains of marine animals called Coral Polyps. Colonies of these tiny creatures build branching structures as they grow, gradually forming reefs and atolls.
