BA1734 turquoise and silver ring Harpo

Stunning Navajo ring

This sterling silver ring is inlaid with beautiful White Water (Mexique) turquoises.

Inlay is a Native jewelry-making process, mastered by the Zuni tribe, but here carefully crafted by a Navajo silversmith: genuine gemstones (in this case, White Water turquoise, known for its beautiful shades of sky blue) are cut and assembled by hand to create a geometric pattern. The whole piece is polished for a smooth and elegant finish.

The upper part of the ring is made of "Cobble Inlay", a type of marquetry characterized by large volumes and reliefs. "Cobble" is the perfect name for this exceptional work, which is as elegant as it is massive, and although contemporary, imitates the ancestral technique of mosaic.
