Alternate view of the side of this ring.

This Zuni Pueblo silver and turquoise ring was cleverly designed so that the size could be expanded if desired. Each of the turquoise flowers is connected to the silver end, but the two flowers are not connected to each other. The ring could therefore be expanded to any larger size desired.

Each of the flower tips is filled with miniature turquoise cabs, sometimes referred to as snake eye turquoise. The ring is very delicate in scale and appearance.
