Paula says - "This heavy vintage bracelet piece is NOS (new old stock) that was made in the 1970s but never used - it is brand new vintage! "Thick sterling silver stock with excellent stamping and inlay workmanship. A real treasure!" "Want your jewelry to look like new? Read my blog 'To Polish or Not to Polish'".

ABOUT TURQUOISETurquoise is associated with the sky, and bringing sky energy to earth. It is known as a master healer stone as it is believed to help speed the healing process. It is also thought that turquoise can help promote honest and clear communication from the heart. Turquoise comes in all shades of blue, to blue-green and it is the natural variations in turquoise that make it appealing. The color of turquoise in American Indian jewelry ranges from brownish green to bright blue. Found in veins sandwiched in between layers of mother rock, turquoise can show some of the influence of the mother rock in its matrix or veining. The matrix colors range from blue to golden brown to black and sometimes with golden flecks. Many people prefer turquoise with matrix over clear stones. Read more about stones. | |
