DESCRIPTION:
This is a very exquisite bracelet that must not be overlooked! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist William Begay, out of genuine sterling silver and real Turquoise stones. A total of THREE stones are delicately placed in hand cut bezel settings, while hand crafted silver work creates lovely scalloped leaf designs. Twisted silver and silver beads can be seen highlighting the cuff for a wonderful finish. The bracelet is stamped 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.
