This simple beauty is the trademark of Navajo artist Randall Endito, who uses heavy beaten silver bands to present simple stones. This ring is set with a natural High Lonesome turquoise stone.

The band measures a bit over 1/4" wide. Weighs 9.5 grams. Size 13. Brand new and in perfect condition. Gift Box and Certificate of Authenticity included. Hallmarked by the artist.

I purchased this ring along with other jewelry directly from Deanna Olson, owner of Silver Sun, a longtime member of IACA, at the 2009 spring wholesale market. Since 1985, Silver Sun has been providing authentic, handmade Native American jewelry to the public by wholesaling to fine shops and galleries, museums, and Indian stores across the globe.

About High Lonesome Turquoise: High Lonesome turquoise comes from the rugged foothills of southern New Mexico in the lower Hatchet Mountain range. The High Lonesome mine is now closed. It is a very hard, green to powder blue turquoise.

About Randall Endito: Randall is a proud member of the Endito silversmithing family. His parents, Randy & Etta Endito, taught him the craft and he has been making jewelry since he was 21.
