Turquoise Mountain Turquoise Ring Derrick Gordon
This Absolutely Stunning hand made ring was made by noted Navajo Artist Derrick Gordon. It's a size 8 1/2 to 8 3/4. It has an outstanding Turquoise Mountain Turquoise stone that is a sky blue with a dark red/gold spiderwebbed matrix. The stone sets in a smooth bezel and is surrounded by twisted silver wire roping. The silver work around the stone is beautiful and all the silver has a dark satin finish to it that gives it an Old World look.
Weight: 14.2 grams on my scale It's marked sterling and signed. It measures 1 1/4" tall by 1" at it's widest point. It has a sturdy split shank band with stamp work as well as silver concho like buttons. I placed a quarter there for scale.
