The Turquoise and Sterling Silver centerpieces appear on a box link chain for complete flexibility. The total length of this Turquoise necklace is 20-1/4". The matching post earrings are 1-1/4" long. Stamped Sterling. Signed by the Navajo Indian artist LS.
The Navajo believe turquoise is a piece of the sky that has fallen to earth, and it is used as an offering to appease the wind. The Apache think it combines the spirits of the sea and sky to help warriors and hunters aim accurately. For the Apache, turquoise is associated with the bringing of rain and could always be found at the end of a rainbow. The Zuni believe that turquoise protects them from demons, while the Aztecs reserved turquoise for the gods and it was not to be worn by mere mortals.
It is alleged that the wearer of this stone is able to develop friendships. It would help a person feel intuitively the difference between good and evil. Turquoise would protect against accidents and various dangers. The blue in turquoise symbolized the Heavens and green symbolized the Earth. The stones were used by medicine men to work charms.
