Big Turquoise Ring Navajo R Tom
This is a BIG Beautiful, finely crafted ring, size 12 1/2. Suitable for a man or woman. It was made by Navajo artist R. Tom, I believe that's for Rita and Joe Tom. It has a two bright, darker blue turquoise stone with a black spiderwebbed matrix. The blue looks Much better in person, blue's are hard to photograph and all monitors see colors differently. Each stone sets in a smooth bezel. There's quite a bit of silver detailing including fine twisted silver wire, applied concho like buttons and carved silver pieces. There's also applied silver pieces with stamp work on either side of the wide shank. The silver all has a dark satin finish to it that gives it a great old world look.
It's marked sterling and signed R Tom. It measures almost 1 3/4" tall by 1 1/4" at it's widest point. weight: 25 grams on my scale. I placed a quarter there for scale.
Sure to make a Fine addition to any collection, or a great gift! Please note: Pictures are enlarged to show detail, remember everything looks bigger on line :)
