Pendant Dreamcatcher Sterling Silver Handmade Necklace 925 Turquoise Gemstone Indian Native American 3

Dream catchers are one of the most fascinating traditions of Native Americans. The traditional dream catcher was intended to protect the sleeping individual from negative dreams, while letting positive dreams through. The positive dreams would slip through the hole in the center of the dream catcher, and glide down the feathers to the sleeping person below. The negative dreams would get caught up in the web, and expire when the first rays of the sun struck them.
The dream catcher has been a part of Native American culture for generations. One element of Native American dream catcher relates to the tradition of the hoop. Some Native Americans of North America held the hoop in the highest esteem, because it symbolized strength and unity. Many symbols started around the hoop, and one of these symbols is the dream catcher.
Native Americans believe that the night air is filled with dreams both good and bad. The dream catcher when hung over or near your bed swinging freely in the air, catches the dreams as they flow by. The good dreams know how to pass through the dream catcher, slipping through the outer holes and slide down the soft feathers so gently that many times the sleeper does not know that he/she is dreaming. The bad dreams not knowing the way get tangled in the dream catcher and perish with the first light of the new day.
The dream catcher is believed to have the power to catch all of a person’s dreams, trapping the bad ones, and letting only the good dreams pass through it.

Turquoise is one of the oldest protection amulets, and was also known as a symbol of wealth in many ancient cultures. The stone protects the wearer from negative energy and brings good fortune. Turquoise is also the symbol of friendship, and brings peace to the home. It has quite a few healing properties: it increases muscular strength, alleviates pain or cramping and contains anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effects.
This precious gemstone sits in the centre of a handmade sterling 925 silver dreamcatcher. The feather is also made of turquoise which strengthens the intensity of turquoise's healing properties. The measurements are as follows:
3.8cm long
1.8cm wide
It will be sent with an adjustable black cotton strap, but it also looks great with a silver chain.
