DESCRIPTION:

This lovely pair of earrings will definitely attract plenty of attention! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Annie Spencer, out of genuine sterling silver, real Turquoise stones, and real Corals. This pair of earrings has a total of FOUR stones (TWO in each earring) that are carefully placed in hand cut bezel settings, while being accented by scalloped leaf designs for a gorgeous look. Four silver feathers dangle at the end for a fabulous finish. Feathers are symbols of prayers, marks of honor or sources of ideas. They represent the Creative Force. 

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.

Corals are known to be very soothing and very protective. Coral is of an organic origin; it is the skeletal remains of marine animals called Coral Polyps. Colonies of these tiny creatures build branching structures as they grow, gradually forming reefs and atolls.
