Navajo jewelers are known for their ability to use silverwork to enhance the beauty of a single stone. This ring is an excellent example of a silversmith’s creative talent using a simple, yet elegant silver setting to highlight a splendid piece of spider web turquoise.

 

The shank is stamped with feather-type details on either side. It has a smooth patina that is only achieved by loving wear. The stone is flawless, with no chips or cracks.

 

Condition: excellent

Provenance: the Silver and Turquoise Ring, Pyramid Shape is from a private Colorado collection
