This top-quality sterling silver and turquoise ring was created by Navajo silversmith, Virgil Begay. Virgil has a passion for excellence - using an old pawn finish and choosing the best quality stones. Thisring is no exception.
This ring has 2 genuine Turquoise Mountain stones, set in straight bezels and surrounded with stamped hogan beads. The natural turquoise stones are the center of attention here and they really pop out against the dark oxidized old pawn finish. The face of the ring measures 1-3/4" long by 3/4" wide. It weighs a 21.8 grams. Size 7-1/2 but one side of the wide four-way split band shank is intentionally un-attached to the back of the ring (giving you some flex on those swollen finger days), so the ring adjusts about 1/2 of a size either way (from size 7 to 8). The heavy shank rests against the back of the ring and is very strong and will not weaken over time.
Brand new in perfect condition. It is stamped sterling and has Virgil Begay's hallmark. Certificate of Authenticity included and gift box included.
Virgil Begay has been creating traditional Navajo jewelry for 25 years. He comes from a family of well known silversmiths. His mother and father were both silversmiths.
