DESCRIPTION:
An offer like this will not last long! This piece of Native American jewelry is Hopi hand crafted by artist Augustine Mowa Jr., out of genuine sterling silver. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this pair of earrings, the second layer forms amazing turtle designs for a fascinating look. In some beliefs, the turtle represents strength, female power and fertility. The turtle is also considered to be able to defy death. The earrings are stamped sterling.
