DESCRIPTION: 

This beautiful pendant is an authentic piece of Native American jewelry, handcrafted by talented Zuni artist Vera Halusewa. The pendant is made from genuine sterling silver and features a cluster design with 21 hand-cut turquoise stones, each set in a fine sawtooth bezel. The traditional Zuni cluster style radiates outward from the center stone, creating a stunning sunburst effect that captures attention from every angle.

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.
