- About The Artwork
- This geometric ring of 14k yellow gold set with a free-from dusk Blue Spider Web turquoise stone is resting on a platform inlaid with turquoise, ivory, lapis lazuli, jet and malachite.
The bezel of the center stone is stamped with fine lines producing miniature "pickets". The 1 1/4" X 1 1/8" "stage" or platform is elegantly shaped and beveled, which takes some serious planning and precision work to accomplish.
The beauty of this ring is that you don't see the engineering. You can bask in the simplicity of form and the beauty of the materials used. It will look wonderful with the most cosmopolitan of designer apparel.
- About The Artist
- The Navajo were the first of the Native Americans of the Southwest to learn silversmithing from the Spanish. Most Navajo jewelry emphasizes silver, with turquoise stones used as an accent. Some pieces are cast in sand or tufa molds, while others are hammered, using a male stamp and a female die.
