If you are looking for elegance and beauty, you have found it! This piece of Native American jewelry is Zuni hand crafted by artist Amy Lacosbino, out of genuine sterling silver and real Turquoise stones. There are TWO stones carefully set in hand cut bezel settings, while hand crafted silver work creates a beautiful feather design. Stamped mini silver beads accent the ring for a lovely finish. Feathers are symbols of prayers, marks of honor or sources of ideas. They represent the Creative Force. The ring 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 their appeal and beauty.
