Navajo jewelry making is a time honored tradition of pride, handed down from generation to generation and the Navajo Nation is world-renown for works of beauty. The onyx is an ancient gemstone that is believed to release and defend against negativity, fortifies self-confidence, and is used as a talisman to protect against “the evil eye.” Black freshwater pearls are used for prosperity. The sterling silver on the necklace has a slight, undisturbed, natural patina and has a luminous beauty as it hangs from the wearer’s neck. Remarkable artistry and heritage on display in this attention grabbing, statement piece.
