This fabulous sterling silver turquoise ring was created by Gloria Begay, wife of the late Navajo silversmith, Kirk Smith. Gloria Begay always worked with her husband and helped him make those wonderful cluster pieces. We are glad to see that she is continuing the family tradition and creating her own jewelry now.
The genuine Kingman turquoise stones are a deep teal turquoise color with beautiful matrix. The stones is set on a fancy triple wire shank ring. Like her husband, Gloria uses only the best stones and materials, choosing turquoise stones with vibrant colors. Gloria, as with other artists, is never sure about the stones she uses. We know that it is Kingman but will have to assume that it is stabilized as most stones are these days.
The face of the ring measures 2-3/8 long and the ring weighs 20.6 grams. Exceptional quality and workmanship. Size 8 only.
Brand new in perfect condition. Stamped sterling and has Gloria Begay's hallmark. Certificate of Authenticity included and gift box included.
