This is a wonderful piece of Navajo artistry! In this set, the pendant is hand crafted by artist Henry Attakai, out of authentic sterling silver and a real Turquoise stone. The stone is delicately laid in a hand cut bezel setting, while hand crafted silver work creates a stunning wolf and arrow design. Silver beads, scalloped leaf designs, and a silver feather can be seen complimenting the pendant for an intricate finish. Feathers are symbols of prayers, marks of honor or sources of ideas. They represent the Creative Force. Arrows usually signify direction of travel, force, and movement. The pendant is stamped sterling and hallmarked. The necklace is hand strung out of silver round beads and real Turquoise beads. The necklace consists of: 6-mm silver round beads and 6-mm real Turquoise round beads. Each end of the necklace is complimented with a silver cone and bead for a phenomenal finish. 

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.
