BA1737 inlay and silver Harpo ring

Navajo Ring 

Navajo ring composed of a superb oval inlay set in sterling silver.

This beautiful ring is a fine example of "micro inlay", a jewelry technique in which the artist is a master! On a stunning black-jet background, he has created a Kachina face (the triangle being the head, dressed of a feather headdress). These elements are crafted from micro-inlays of various genuine stones: White Bufflo, blue turquoises, opal and spiny oyster.

For his creations the artist elaborates his designs on black-jet backgrounds inlaid with small silver dots, reminding the night and the stars, always creating signature jewels that are strong and elegant. His settings are smooth and uncluttered, as with this large ring, further highlighting his meticulous micro-inlay work.

The Kachinas are incarnations of the spiritual form, they are supernatural beings who make the link with the divine. During certain ceremonies, they appear to the Natives while dancing and singing, in physical forms mixing animal features and abstract figures.
