Each row of turquoise sits atop a separate silver plate that has been cut to mimic the shapes of the stones. Each row of three stones is then connected with a piece of twisted wire, and the curved manner in which these elements were soldered make this a very comfortable ring to wear because the curvature matches the wearer’s finger. The wire appears to be hand-twisted as there are variations in twist density. There is a three-part split shank with a thick band, and the interior of the ring shows craquelure from the hand-hammering of a silver ingot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e As mentioned above, there looks to be a trader’s code of “WHF” inscribed to the underside of the center plate with each letter being in one section of the plate. Lastly, the reason I feel this could possibly be Zuni is because of the 3x3 row design separated by twisted silver wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping is free within the United States. \u003cbr\u003eIf you are an international customer, your shipping cost will show once you have added the item to your cart. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Attainable Rarities","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67840838303967,"sku":"2026040","price":1325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0132\/3487\/files\/IMG_9161.jpg?v=1790806642","url":"https:\/\/attainablerarities.com\/products\/navajo-or-zuni-pueblo-turquoise-9-stone-ring","provider":"Attainable Rarities","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
