Navajo handcrafted sterling silver ring with a large rectangular natural Ma'anshan Turquoise stone. Genuine, natural Ma'anshan turquoise from Anhui province in China. This is some of China's best turquoise. The ring was created by Native American silversmith, Randy Endito. The ring has an antique finish to it which brings out the beautiful turquoise stone.

The face of the ring measures 1-1/4" tall and 7/8" wide. Sturdy triple shank, with applied silverwork. Weighs 18.4 grams. Size 12. 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 Ma'anshan Turquoise: Ma'anshan turquoise comes from Anhui province in China, near Shanghai. It has only been available for about 10 or 11 years and is one of China's best turquoise. It is a very hard stone and comes in a wide range of blues and greens, with the blues (like this stone) being of a higher grade.

About Randall Endito: Randall is a proud member of the Endito silversmithing family. His parents, Randy & Etta Endito, taught him the craft and he made his first piece of jewelry when he was 21. Randy & Etta Endito and their sons work as a team to create elegant, contemporary and well-crafted designs.
