DESCRIPTION:

This lovely pair of earrings will definitely attract plenty of attention! The earrings are crafted out of genuine sterling silver and real Turquoise inlay. The inlay is gently set, while overlaid patterns can be seen accenting the earrings for a marvelous look. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design the individual detailed overlay. In this pair of earrings, the second layer forms a hand and other designs. Stamped patterns and silver beads can be seen highlighting the earrings for an elegant finish. Imprinted designs can be seen accenting the back of the earrings for a charming look. In some beliefs, the hand represents the presence of man. It signifies his work, his achievements and his legacy. It also depicts direction of the creative spirit through a man. It is known as a vessel for the Creators power. The earrings are stamped sterling and hallmarked.

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.
