DESCRIPTION:
If you are looking for elegance and beauty, you have found it! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Kevin Billah, out of genuine old pawn style sterling silver and a real Turquoise stone. The stone is gently placed in a hand cut bezel setting, while hand cut silver work and imprinted designs that create a flower design accent the pendant for a beautiful finish. The pendant is stamped sterling and hallmarked by the artist.
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.
