DESCRIPTION:

This lovely pair of earrings will definitely attract plenty of attention! This piece of Native American jewelry is Navajo hand crafted by artist Betty Hawthorne, out of genuine sterling silver and man made Opal stones. The earrings have a total of TWO stones (ONE in each earring) that are delicately placed in hand cut bezel settings. Twisted silver accents the earrings for a stunning look.

Most people know Opal for its distinctive play of color, it is a semi-transparent solidified mineral composed of silicon and water, and it gets its name from the Sanskrit word "Upala" meaning precious stone. Opal is the birthstone for October. It is believed to release self-consciousness allowing spontaneous action, and awakens psychic and mystical qualities.
