Turquoise and Coral
For decades, the combination of turquoise and coral has been used in Navajo jewelry. "During the earliest period of silver making (classic period or first phase) the form of silver pieces and also their decoration came to have special symbolic significance. The colors of certain stones, such as turquoise and coral, and the use of four decorative elements in a design became associated with the cardinal directions...Dualities such as double or paired forms suggested the relationship of earth and sky, hot and cold, material or immaterial. " 1 These two gemstones are often paired with the leaf and tendril, signifying life.
