* The 10 strands represent the coming together of the clans. 7 clans of the Cherokee
and 3 clans of the Delaware.
* Handmade copper cans:
Copper was an early metal used by the eastern tribes before
the European trade. Copper was used to honor our early ancestors.
The solid lines on each end of the cans represent the boundaries placed upon the people in Indian
Territory.
The serrated lines at each end represent each of my people. Cherokee Nation and Delaware Tribe.
Each individual peoples. The swirl in the center, is the Milkyway. The mystery of all that
watches over us. Regardless of our history, we are bound by both our future and our past.
* Atop each can is a turtle, climbing the threads of the universe to our united home in a deep blue sky.

Care instructions
All Turquoise and most semi precious stones should be kept dry and not stored in sunny places. Natural untreated Stones can change color due to chemical exposure such as shamoo, soap, lotions ect. so make a habbit of removing your jewelry before using these things. Exposure to excessive heat and sunlight can cause fading so try not to store your stones in the sunlight.
Most American turquoise is backed, this is for the protection of the stone, it gives it a little impact resistance, rings and bracelets do take alot of bumping around. Some stones we will only set in Pendants as they do not take the abuse rings and bracelets sometimes see. There are many sterling cleaners on the market, we would be more than happy to polish for you.
