This Native American sterling silver and Spiny Oyster ring was handmade by Navajo silversmith, Derrick Gordon. The ring features a large natural piece of orange Spiny Oyster, polished smooth and set in a fancy bezel raised above the surface of the ring. Applied silver work adorns the sides of the ring. The smooth back (inside) of the ring curves to provide a comfortable fit around your finger.
The front of the ring measures 1 inch tall and the ring weighs 14.8 grams. The back is stamped sterling and has Derrick's hallmark. Certificate of Authenticity included and gift box included. Size 12-3/4.
There is a tiny dark spot on the shell, that is natural to the shell and you can see it in the pictures. I don't think it detracts from the ring, but its up to you!
