This classy Necklace showcases a Navajo-made Sterling Silver Cross with a vibrant Blue Turquoise Oval Stone.  The back of the Cross bears the mark “Sterling,” as well as an Inuksuk* (or Inukshuk), which is a symbol of survival first used by the Intuit people and later by the Navajo and other Native Americans.

* The traditional meaning of the inukshuk is "Someone was here" or "You are on the right path." Inukshuk forms are one of the oldest forms known to mankind. The ancient Inukshuk was a stone sculptural form built from rocks that we believe basically left a message that we where here. If you look at the Inukshuk you will note that it is in the likeness of a human. Today The Inukshuk Message is, " Everyone can make a difference." Inukshuks symbolize awareness of our obligation to ourselves, our environment and future generations. Source:  www.indianvillagemall.com
