This is a very exquisite necklace that must not be overlooked! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted, by artist Verley Betone, out of genuine sterling silver and a man made Opal stone. Each link consists of ONE hand crafted sterling silver scalloped leaf design. TWO feather dangle pieces and mini silver beads can be seen accenting the necklace for a gorgeous finish.

Most people know Opal for its distinctive play of color, it is a semi-transparent solidified mineral composed of silicon and water, and it gets its name from the Latin word "Oplus" meaning precious stone. Opal is birthstone of October. It is believed to release self-consciousness allowing spontaneous action, and awakens psychic and mystical qualities.
