As a beautiful and fun addition to your jewelry collection, this dreamcatcher showcases handwoven sterling silver for the web, a sterling feather, and a turquoise bead in the center. The history of the dream catcher states that it should be hung above a sleeping area in a place where morning light can hit it. The Dream Catcher will then attract dreams to its web, only allowing good dreams to pass through, while bad dreams, not knowing their way through the web, get caught in the webbing where the first light of day causes them to melt away and perish. The good dreams know the way and go through the center of the web, sliding down the feather to the sleeper below. Turquoise is a healing stone and the birthstone for December. These dreamcatcher earrings measure 7/16" in diameter and 1" in length, including the dangling feather. All hanging from a kidney earwire. Navajo handcrafted in the USA.
