This Native American Mohave Turquoise Silver Bracelet Navajo-made is a classic of the southwest. Made by Jimmy Emerson, a master Navajo silversmith from Gallup, New Mexico, Jimmy has worked for over 20 years creating some incredible, high quality Silver work. This bracelet has hand-cut pieces of genuine Mohave Turquoise. Each of these touching, tear drop shaped Turquoise stones has been set in individually hand-made Sterling Silver bezels that have sweated to hand-cut and hand-stamped Sterling Silver sheets. Hand twisted Sterling Silver wires and 'Navajo Tear Drops' increase the high shine. The traditional hand-stamped designs give this one a native, southwestern feeling.

In Indian folklore it is said that there was once a chief with turquoise colored skin. One day he was running from his enemies in the hot desert. Whenever he stopped to rest, his perspiration ran onto the ground, collected in rocks and became turquoise.

There are many legends about Turquoise; The Pima consider it to bring good fortune and strength and believe that it helps overcome illness. The Zuni believe that blue turquoise was male and of the sky and green turquoise was female and of the earth. Pueblo Indians thought that its color was stolen from the sky. In Hopi legend the lizard who travels between the above and the below, excretes turquoise and that the stone can hold back floods. The Apache felt that turquoise on a gun or bow made it shoot straight. The Navajo consider it as good fortune to wear and believe it could appease the Wind Spirit.
