Expect plenty of compliments while wearing this stunning money clip! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Leta Parker, out of genuine Sterling silver and a real Turquoise stone. The stone is gently set in a hand cut shadow box bezel setting, while hand cut bear claw designs highlight and finish the money clip perfectly. In Native American beliefs, the bear paw is usually considered a way to call for the power of the animal spirit, or as an indication of the presence of the spirit. It's a symbol that represents inner strength. The lower portion of the money clip is made out of nickel for stronger grip and durability. 

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.
