This handcrafted Navajo-style turquoise ring features a striking, high-domed #8 turquoise cabochon, known for its vibrant blue hue and distinctive matrix. The natural stone is securely set within a smooth bezel, elegantly framed by a traditional twisted rope wire border. The ring's substantial band is crafted from matte, brushed sterling silver, giving it a refined, contemporary finish while maintaining its southwestern character. The decorative hand stamped band is intricately detailed with traditional sunburst and crescent moon motifs, hallmarks of authentic Native American artisan work. This piece is hallmarked with a "STERLING" stamp on the back, ensuring its silver purity. The measurements are .73”L x .59”W x .22”D. The band measures 5.2mm and is a size 9. The weight of the ring is 6.7 grams. This specific mine has been closed since 1976, making existing pieces of high-grade #8 turquoise increasingly rare and collectible.
