DESCRIPTION:
This is a wonderful piece of Navajo artistry! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Annie Spencer, out of authentic sterling silver and real Turquoise stones. This pair of earrings has a total of TWO stones (ONE in each earring) that are delicately placed in hand cut bezels, while being accented by twisted silver and silver Naja designs for a phenomenal finish.
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.
