"The fire of hope almost went out; we have to rekindle it,"---Red Cloud The beautiful silver focal is actually silver-plated pewter intricately detailed! Eighteen circles surrounding a symbol of the four directions. The image does not do justice to the beauty! The silver spheres feature a fiddlehead design and are also quite detailed. Fiddleheads speak to the humility of our being. These are vintage beads acquired from an old Southwestern shop which was closing. Turquoise is the stone of truth highly valued in Native cultures. Also considered a stone of friendship, turquoise is a calming stone. When we are calm and let go of the illusions that obscure truth, we are better able to walk the path honestly with others. Sponge coral rondells accent this piece communicating the passion and energy needed to walk in the balance. We are all connected. Be the spark that encourages another. The necklace measures 18" with a toggle closure.
