This late 20th Century ring features a large rectangular cabochon of turquoise set snugly in a simple straight edged bezel. A hook design was placed on the shank adding an elegant addition to the ring. It is a modern day example of the traditional Navajo aesthetic of making the focal point of a piece of jewelry the beauty of a single high grade stone. The ring is elegant and masculine. The ring is unsigned.
