This ring really has a lot going for it, not only in design but in construction. The large pear-shaped Turquoise is striking with its Robin's egg blue color and brown matrix. The handmade bezel in which it resides has delightfully rudimentary construction consistent with early Navajo and Pueblo jewelry making. What is particularly interesting is the ingot silver hand-drawn wire that comprises the shank and band. Note the ingot silver details in the last picture. This is not a detail that is often seen, making this ring even better.
Excellent condition.
