A clean and bold turquoise and silver ring.  The mount to this ring is surrounded by an interesting miniature chainlink pattern, and then framed by a large bead set design on the outside, giving it a strong front profile.  Comfortable to wear, but also distinctive looking. The stone is an American mined piece of turquoise with interesting deposits and deep black matrices running through, which create this unique 'fingerprint' to the stone. The ring is handmade in American made by members of the Southwestern Native American Yazzie family, Navajo tribe, dating circa 1970's. The Yazzie family are one of a few prolific and generational families of jewellery makers.  The ring is both marked 'Sterling' and 'Yazzie', and is a ring size 10.
