The silver beads are a mixture of shiny and oxidised silver which creates a beautiful band of shiny silver in the middle of each bead. The silver medicine wheel features four delicate Spiny Oyster stones in a flower pattern in the centre. Seven prayer feathers hang from the Medicine Wheel.
Also called spondylus princeps, is found in the sea off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. Spondylus is a Latin word meaning “spines on its back.”
Beautiful oranges, reds, white, purple. This stone of the sea carries the energies of the water, cool comfort and peace of mind from the dark depths of the sea, and a sense of understanding, patience, & knowing from the rhythm of the tides.
‘Sterling’ and the silversmiths name, Emer Thompson are stamped on the reverse of the Medicine Wheel.
