Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:6822006 |
This ebay hobby was started one day when I purchased a "Old Pawn" Navajo Bolo at an local antique market and first put it on. I immediately knew what I've heard others talking about over the years. I felt a Great Overwhelming Pride of the Spirit of the Navajo Indian who crafted the special piece many years ago. That one day, not long ago, I got the bug. The understanding of what I've heard from others over the years, but until that day had not experienced. This was a special gift from a Proud and Humble Indian Artist who was doing this to feed his family. I truly hope one day that everyone can experience that magic for yourself.

In Addition to the the Skilled Craftsmanship that the Native Americans possessed, they also went to great work to use stones that have special natural powers. The most common, Turquoise was mined in several states in the Southwest and is a stone of Strength. It purifies the body and dispels negative energy. It is also known to aid in the absorption of nutrients, enhances the immune system and for detoxification of the body. Red Coral is another favorite of the Native American. They would trade for this beautiful stone as it's not indigenous to their lands and is a stone of Diplomacy. It brings Inner Peace helps to Accelerate the Transfer of Knowledge. It's easy to see why they chose these stones for their stunning jewelry! Many of our pieces include beautiful Spiderweb Turquoise and the deep stunning Red Coral that is only found in the early pieces.
