This turquoise ring is not signed with the name of the maker, but we believe the artist was a Diné of the Navajo Nation. The silver backing is curved to better contour to a person's finger. A silver band is attached which is solid on the middle and forked at the ends. The band is stamped with lightning, sun, and arrows images.

The floral display of turquoise consists of beautiful matching blue turquoise cabs which were cut in rectangular form and arranged around a central round and domed cab. Each setting is secured in straight-edge bezels. The center round turquoise is surrounded by twisted silver wire at its base. Between each of the rectangular settings is a silver dot at the edge of the form.  The Ring Size is 6-¼ and there are instructions below that can help you determine what your size is.
