For their own use, many Navajo prefer jewelry arranged in cluster form. Large cluster bracelets are often seen on Navajo women at powwows and walking around Gallup, New Mexico. Cluster rings also share in this popularity.
This cluster ring has 15 tear-drop shaped blue and green turquoise cabs arranged on an oval silver backing. This ring is probably no more recent that the 1950s. All of the turquoise stones are in excellent condition.
Condition: excellent condition
Provenance: from a family collection from Grants, New Mexico
