DESCRIPTION:

There is nothing at all average about this beautiful pair of earrings! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Mark Davis, out of genuine sterling silver and real Malachite stones. The earrings have a total of TWO stones (ONE in each earring) that are delicately placed in hand cut bezel settings, while being accented with hand crafted leaf work. TWO silver feathers dangle at the end of each earring for an excellent finish. Feathers are symbols of prayers, marks of honor or sources of ideas. They represent the Creative Force. The earrings are stamped sterling.

Malachite is famous for its radial banding and deep green color. Popular today for use in Southwestern style jewelry, malachite was also popular in the past with the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. It was worn as a good luck charm to keep away danger and illness. It is believed to balance and stabilize ones emotions.
