In traditional Southwestern lore, people would tie sinew strands in a web around a small round frame and hang this dream-catcher as a charm to protect sleeping children from nightmares. Legend is the good dreams pass through the center spirit hole and the nightmares get caught in the web. Fashioned from sterling silver these dream-catcher earrings have a sterling feather dangle with a turquoise bead center. Turquoise is the stone of good fortune. Earrings measure 2 1/2inches L x 3/4inches W. Made in New Mexico, USA.
