Set in a sterling silver case, this gorgeous ring features a highly pleasing turquoise gemstone with a greenish-blue hue. This stone is slightly darker than the typical brighter blue turquoise, giving it more of a meditative and reflective quality. Scattered throughout the stone are various tones of indigo blue, as well as light brown and orange.
The silver is carved in a way that compliments the stone and has grooved ridges of various shapes and sizes going along the perimeter. Still, in traditional Navajo style, the design is symmetrical.
Underneath the ring is signed RH. This could either indicate Ronnie Hurley or Randy Hoskie, but Hurley made pieces which were more like this ring, so we are attributing it to him.
Condition: very good condition
Provenance: this Navajo Ring with Large Turquoise Gemstone is from the collection of a client of Adobe Gallery
