Sterling Ring with Turquoise Stone

Wide, rope-edged band with a bright green slab pinned to the top.

This sterling ring with mohave turquoise stone is from the United States, and is contemporary. It is mohave turquoise & sterling silver. Turquoise has been mined in the American Southwest for many centuries and is closely associated with Native American jewelry, particularly silverwork by Navajo, Zuni and Hopi artists. Broad, tapering band with textured, leaf-like patterns pressed into its sides and twisted rope borders. The rectangular green setting is veined with brown and black, and sits in a smooth bezel.

Green with pride and wrapped in a rope for good measure.
