DESCRIPTION:
This lovely bracelet is a work of art and has everything you could possibly want from a piece of Native American jewelry! This piece of Native American jewelry is Zuni hand crafted by artist Max Calladitto, out of authentic sterling silver and real Turquoise. There is one stone that is gently placed in hand cut bezel settings, while hand crafted silver work creates striking scalloped leaf designs. Twisted silver and stamped mini silver beads compliment the bracelet for a marvelous finish. The bracelet 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.
