This was my Granny Bea\'s Bracelet. She was a 1/2 Chickasaw and Choctaw Native Oklahoma Indian. She loved jewelry and had a large, fine and unique jewelry collection.She traveled the United States competing in square dance competitions and collected all sorts of jewelry on every trip. She had a beautiful soul. She obtained her Masters Degree and taught 1st grade for over 40 years.

It\'s a connection to the water spirits and Mother Earth.
