DESCRIPTION:
There is nothing at all average about this beautiful necklace! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Eddie Chaco, out of genuine sterling silver and real Turquoise stones. The center piece is set with FOUR stones. Each stone is delicately placed in a hand cut bezel setting, and is surrounded by twisted silver for a marvelous finish. The necklace 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 its appeal and beauty.
