This talisman is sewn by hand with Sterling Silver beads and natural Turquoise. In many cultures, Turquoise is believed to protect the wearer from negative energy and harm. The talisman is made with veg tan leather, that will darken over time, with the sun and with oil from your skin, bringing out a richer brown color. Inside is a small ocean pebble from the California coast. The talisman measures 2cm x 2cm and sits on a braided cotton cord 28 inches long with cream colored tassels at the back. The length is adjustable with a small silver bead.
