Diné Silver, Turquoise, and Coral Elegant Ring [SOLD]

This long oval ring with a flat silver platform has an outer circle of small oval and domed turquoise gemstones surrounding a single row of four oval coral cabs. The ring is not signed with the name of the Diné artist of the Navajo Nation, but the workmanship of lapidary skill identifies the artist as one of extreme talent.

Each turquoise cab is shaped in teardrop form and the coral in oval shapes. The turquoise is a beautiful blue, except for a gorgeous dark green cab and a single lighter green one. Some might consider unmatched turquoise a flaw, but it provides a break from monotony, and perhaps identifies the maker's personal mark. The ring is exceptionally beautiful.
