This Native American beaded necklace has been sold but can be custom made just for you. It features a stylized version of the Celtic Design "Dara". The name Dara comes from the word "doire," which is the Irish word for "oak tree."

The beaded focal piece of this necklace is a red Dara on a background of black Delica beads. A gold "moon" shining through represents your "center".

The focal portion measures 1 7/8 inches wide and 4 inches long from the top to the bottom of the center fringe bead.

The fringe is made of black Delica Beads. 30 fringes end with a black tear drop bead. The center fringe is made of a 4mm black bead, 6 mm gold bead, and ends with an 8 mm black bead.

The necklace is of 8 strands of black Delica beads. It is 23 inches long. The necklace fastener is a black 8 mm Czech glass bead and hand beaded loop.

My Great great great great great Grandmother was named Ghi-Goo-ie (Sweetheart, in Cherokee). She married a Scotsman. Thus the link from my Native American heritage to the use of celtic designs.

Oaks were considered sacred to the Celts, particularly the Druids who could translate the language of trees into profound and meaningful messages applicable to the lives of their clans. This language also provided insight into the meanings of the universe relating to their reality.

Dara Power was thought to:
ïÂ,· Control Destiny
ïÂ,· Offer Wisdom
ïÂ,· Give Strength
ïÂ,· Provide Endurance
ïÂ,· Foster Leadership

I hope you like the necklace as a tribute to my Scottish side of my family tree.

Mvto and Wado (Thank you in Creek and Cherokee) for viewing.
