What an Amazing pendant! This pendant is a gorgeous piece of jewelry that is hand crafted out of genuine sterling silver and real Turquoise and Red Oyster Shell inlay.

In the turquoise, Red Oyster Shell can be seen resembling different colors of corn. A silver bead and silver work accent adding style and creativity to the pendant.

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 their appeal and beauty.
