Watson Honanie Silver and Gold Eagle Pictorial Ring

A multiple award winning artist, Watson Honanie developed his signature approach in the late 1980s — overlaying 14K gold designs onto sterling silver. This ring showcases that exceptional precision and depth, featuring 3 Eagle dancers, flanked by 2 Mudhead Dancers on each side. 

The size 6-¾" ring measures approximately ¾" inches across at the widest point, tapering gently toward the back 3/10" inches for a refined profile. 

Honanie's work is highly sought after for its intricate detail and mastery of 14K gold overlay on a sterling silver substrate. In 1993, his gold concha belt won Best of Class and Best of Division at Indian Market, underscoring the caliber and collectibility of his artistry.
