Navajo Sterling Silver Eagle Feather with Sleeping Beauty Turquoise

This sterling silver eagle feather pendant was made by Navajo silversmith, Jane Delfinita.  The details on the feather perfect, and we especially like the cords on each side of the bright blue Sleeping Beauty cabochon.  The top part of the feather is slightly domed which gives it even more character. The bale is large enough for a medium to large size chain.  More about eagle feathers below.

Size: 2.875" H x .875" W

The eagle flies the highest and sees the furthest of all birds.  In some tribes it is the guardian of the sky world.  Eagle feathers are held sacred because the eagle takes our prayers to the Creator.  Native American people receive eagle feathers to honor them for their accomplishments, act of courage or bravery.
