Zuni Pueblo 13-Cut Cabochon Turquoise Ring

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 turquoise. The turquoise gemstones 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 a 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.
