- About The Dramatic Oval Turquoise Ring
This ring features a single deep green turquoise cabochon that is crystalized. The turquoise takes on a dendritic appearance.
The body of the ring is hand crafted from ingot material that has been hammered, cut and stamped to first produce a lacey, scalloped frame. It beautifully decorated shank is triple split.
The careful design and execution of this piece was accomplished by a Navajo artist prior to the time when jewelers signed their work.
