This piece of Native American jewelry was Navajo hand crafted by artist Etta Larry, out of genuine sterling silver and real Turquoise.

Hand imprinted silver forms a beautiful Concho themed design for a lovely finish. The ring is stamped .925 (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 its appeal and beauty.
