Shaman Petroglyph Earrings Southwest Turquoise Garnet Handmade Jewelry

Item Description

Filled with the mysterious majesty of age-old rock art, the LORE OF THE ANCIENTS handmade earrings are a wonderful gift for the woman who is enchanted with timeworn glyphs. The one of a kind, Southwest-inspired earrings feature artisan copper petroglyph dangles, two sizes of genuine turquoise, red garnet, copper and sterling silver.  Individually artisan made, each pure copper dangle has two shaman-like beings reaching towards the sky.  Above them are squares (representing the four cardinal directions and interconnectedness) and to the side are wavy lines (representing water).  The shamans and all other symbols are raised against the background for wonderful texture.  Slightly curved, the back of the charms are mostly smooth. 
 
Adding wonderful Southwest vibes, two shapes and colors of real turquoise are stacked above the glyph charms.  The lower piece is a hand cut, sky blue disc.   Because these turquoise discs are hand cut, they are a bit different but also very similar.  Above each disc is a dark blue turquoise rondelles with black matrix.  A rich red garnet gemstone round sits above each rondelle.  Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the unique earrings.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the LORE OF THE ANCIENTS earrings were created for the woman who loves the beauty and the mystery of indigenous art.

A shaman, when in a trance-like state, is believed to interact with the spirit world to bring about prosperity and healing to the community and to foresee distant events.  Turquoise, a gemstone sacred to many Native Americans, is a stone of wholeness, promoting a sense of unity with all that surrounds us.  Red Garnet is worn to bring peaceful energy and symbolizes faith, courage, truth and compassion.  Copper is believed to allow the wearer to recognize barriers in the path of personal development.  Silver is a metal of love and healing; it is a mirror to the soul, helping us to see ourselves as others see us.

 
The one of a kind LORE OF THE ANCIENTS earrings were carefully designed and handmade in a dog friendly, smoke free studio. They will be carefully packed in an organza jewelry bag with tissue, perfect for gift giving to a loved one . . . or to yourself!
