Tufa Cast Silver Cross with Blue Gem Color Turquoise
Navajo
- About The Tufa Cast Silver Cross with Blue Gem Color Turquoise
This handsome, cleanly made cross is from traditional Navajo hands, bearing no maker's mark for spiritual reasons--should the cross be ever buried with diseased wearer.
The intense blue single natural turquoise stone set in its center is without matrix, representing the sky. It is also a "male" stone". All turquoise represents "life" further deepening the appropriateness in this rendering of a familiar Christian symbol.
Stripped of all "boastful decoration", this beautiful piece was created with thoughtful respect.
The cross itself is tufa cast with an added loop/ bail and bezel both of ingot silver.
May it find another home with someone who will wear it, not just as a statement of faith, but as a reminder that within each of us is the strength to make this a better, more peaceful world through love.
