The jewelry of Zuni Pueblo is renowned for its extensive use of turquoise and its striking, innovative designs. This particular ring exemplifies these characteristics, featuring beautifully cut teardrop-shaped pieces of turquoise. These pieces have been meticulously set in silver channels, culminating in a ring of remarkable beauty. The design is symmetrical, lending a sense of balance and harmony to the piece.

The turquoise used in this ring is of a shade that is instantly recognizable and commonly associated with bright colors. It exudes a positive aura and is extremely pleasing to the eye, adding to the ring's overall allure.

Crafted by an once known Zuni jeweler, this ring remains unsigned, a silent testament to the anonymous artist's skill and talent. The Zuni people have a rich tradition of stone cutting, and this ring serves as a wonderful example of their expertise. Each ring, like this one, is not merely a piece of jewelry, but a work of art, embodying the spirit and culture of the Zuni people.
