 | Coral and Turquoise Necklace: Peacock Motif
Using a theme borrowed from nature, coral-and-turquoise ovals and "comets" hint of peacock feathers that adorn 5 decorated silver plaques, which are joined together with strands of turquoise seed beads, tubular coral beads, and silver beads. The peacock is said to be able to consume poison and remain unaffected, so it is an important spiritual symbol of dispelling the selfish delusions of the ego, and maintaining the purity of our motives. From the Himalayan mountains. There are four unique necklaces in this series. 250.00
