DESCRIPTION:

This stunning piece of Native American artistry is handcrafted by Navajo artist Greg Yazzi out of genuine sterling silver and real turquoise. The bold rectangular turquoise stone displays a rich sky-blue hue with a natural black matrix, set in a hand-cut bezel for strength and beauty. Beneath the stone, intricate silverwork showcases hand-carved feather accents and a flower motif, adding a graceful traditional touch.

The necklace is finished with a sterling silver chain and a secure clasp, giving it both elegance and durability. The back of the pendant is stamped sterling and hallmarked by the artist.

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.
