BA1646 turquoise inlay Harpo ring

Navajo ring 

Magnificent Rectangular Navajo ring in silver, inlaid with Sleeping Beauty (Arizona) turquoise .

Inlay is a Native American jewelry-making process in which real stones (most often turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl and jet) are cut and assembled by hand to create a geometric pattern. The whole is polished to a smooth, elegant finish. 

Inlay is a Zuni jewelry process, but here it is masterfully executed by a Navajo silversmith. This ring is a fine example of “channel inlay”, an inlay technique in which the stones are compartmentalized by thin silver bars.

The turquoise is set in a hand-chased setting with fine cutting details.

The ring is smooth and sleek for a contemporary, elegant look that highlights the shape of the ring and the hues of this beautiful King's Manassa turquoise.

Inlay dimensions (L x W): 2,6cm x 2cm

(1 inch x 0.3/4 inch)

This ring is in sterling silver.

Proudly Navajo handmade in the USA.
