This Native American jewelry set is incredible! In this set, the pendant is hand crafted by artist Genevieve Francisco, out of authentic sterling silver and a real Turquoise stone. The stone is delicately set in a hand cut bezel, while hand cut silver work creates a stunning Eagle head design. Imprinted designs and two detailed feathers compliment the pendant for a fantastic look. The pendant is stamped .925 (sterling) and 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 its appeal and beauty.
